Make-up

A friend urged me to get a hair & make-up person to glam me up for my upcoming CD release concert. Oh the memories of being drowned in mascara and eyeshadow on video and photo shoots in London! I tried telling one Italian makeup woman to make me up as if I were a man...." I know I need it, but don't want it to be obvious." She pulled back and replied, indignantly, and with that beautiful accent, "But you are a Woman!" 30 minutes later I looked like I stepped out of a perfume add. AAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!
