Why I Love the Beauty Industry

Reason Number 1: Lauren Luke. I just discovered her this past week--which, I admit, means I'm way behind the times and not well-versed in British Youtube stars (with the exception, of course, of spunky never-been-kissed singer Susan Boyle). But nevermind my ignorance. Lauren's singlehandedly changed my view of the cosmetics industry with her down-to-earth and artless (yet ever so artistic) makeup tutorials. Want to get a Lady Gaga- or a Bollywood-inspired look? Then check out Lauren and her videos pronto. She's even got her own hip new line of cosmetics.

Reason Number 2: Dr. Legs. Cause she's got brains and she knows how to use them. Who else but a podiastrist-slash-fitness-guru would have thunk up a workout to improve your stiletto-wearing capacity?

Damn, girlfriends. Way to revolutionize beauty, step by step, color palette by color palette.

Silent Superlatives

Have you ever gone around a table full of people and allotted silent superlatives? You know:

That dude's got the worst earwax.
That kid's got the veiniest arms.
That dumb ass is definitely the dumbest.


You get the point. Makes me glad Sookie Stackhouse ain't sitting at my table or she'd see a whole lotta ugly going on inside my head.

Charity isn't my middle name. Actually, it's Lea.
