| #12 I either drive or travel. Not both at the same time, so y'all are safe so long as you stay away from my part of the world. |

| #11 She's not the only one, Steve. They do that here in DC, too. Or maybe Trailing Wife travels? |

| #9 Color coordinating your cosmetics with those Hawaiian shirts must be a cast iron twitch! |

| #8 Frank, you forgot to list the half hour or so it takes to pick just the right Hawaiian shirt each morning. I've gotten pretty good at applying make-up at stop lights, and my hairdresser has strict orders the cut has got to be wash'n'wear -- I'm hair-retarded, and can't figure out how to do all those fancy things requiring spray bottles and electrical equipment. ;-) |

| #4 Wondered about that too, SB. I'm pretty minimalist but I know a lot who aren't. Let's see: face cream/lotion, eye cream, mascara, eye shadow, under-eye coverup, foundation, blush, powder, lipstick, shampoo, conditioner, mousse, hairspray, hand cream, neck cream, night cream, eye makeup remover, nail polish, topcoat, polish remover, fake nail stuff, skin bronzer/fake tan, depilatory ... Hazmat if you put all that stuff on regularly, I guess. |

| #3 I'm just wondering what they count as part of the 20 different "beauty products". Deodorant? Soap? I just can't think of 20 different kinds of goo to plaster on my face and/or hair, and I used to spend an hour on my hair (back in the late 80's, ok....I was a silly teenager with "big hair", so cut me some slack. I'm better now....) ---------- BTW, Barbara, check your email, and thanks! |

| #1 "Many use more than 20 different beauty products a day" Many also have way too much time on their hands. When I decided I wanted to get my long hair cut (rather than sit through another perm), I started looking around for a style that would be simple, easy to care for, and easy to keep off my face (that part's very important). I mentioned this to one woman during an open house at a salon and she asked in a shocked tone, "You mean you're not willing to spend 15 minutes in the morning on your hair?" She just about had a heart attack when I told her that I don't spend 15 minutes in the morning on my hair, makeup, and getting dressed for the office. (And I do wear regular office-type attire.) We each get the same 24 hours in every day.... |
