In the morning I wake up.....before I put on my makeup!


When we went to shoot the commercials on Friday....we had to be in the car at 6am. Now I know that is no big deal to AllenS or any of youse guys who are early risers but that almost killed us. We usually go to bed around three in the morning and we had to get up at 4. It was not a lot of fun.

So what is the first thing they do when we got there. They put me in make-up. The first time I ever had any on. They didn't do a lot. They just coverd up the shine. Although the girl tried to fill in my scraggley goatee. Good luck with that.

We have been having tremdous problem with the wife's makeup. It seems that these make up artists use these cancerous make up stuff. The wife has great skin because she really takes care of it.

Me I am easy. I just need a cup of coffee, a place to drop a duece and a few slaps in the face with the powderpuff and I am good to go.

I was watching A&E and saw an ad for Swamp People. It was like looking in a mirror. I don't think those guys were wearing makeup, just sayin'...

Cancerous makeup?! What the heck do they use, Cadmium Red paint for blush? Wow, I'm curious as to what products they use.

Do you wear a goatee or a vandyke? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The Dude said...

I tried to wear a Van Dyke, but she had other ideas. Cue drum riff...

Whew! Finally caught up after three hours mainlining TY. Many thanks for the invite Trooper. Things I have newly learned:

- Sixty should be in charge of marketing (buy this f*ing dress)
- the people I was hoping to see here, arrived and got well and truly comfortable
- Trooper thinks like me: you sweat the small stuff, so that the big stuff looks like it happened just by magic

To add to all the other suggestions for a name, I'd mention "Sweet As". Mostly coz I think Lisa is.

And hi DBQ! I once many moons ago commented on your blog; a woman with brains and style seems to be a prequalification around here so I'm not surprised - just really pleased.

They have parabens which have been a leading indicator of breast cancer.

The wife only uses organic makeup with natural preservatives to keep her skin nice and clean.

When Lisa told all of the people watching our interview that she was fifty this year nobody believed her.

I would've never guessed she was fifty, I thought you robbed the cradle Troop. I'm going to look and see what my makeup contains.

Ancient Egyptian women used antimony as an eye darkener. Women have been practicing allure since the stone age.

Although the girl tried to fill in my scraggley goatee. Good luck with that.

Maybe a little Ron Popeil or even possibly a Pluck and Tuck ???

:-D

50??

In addition to clothes, she ought to be selling rejuvenation tips.

chickelit said...

I'm no expert on parabens but looking at the structure, I can see two easy metabolic handles. OTOH, the wiki says they may be estrogen mimics so if if you're worried about growing extra breast tissue you might be concerned.

Trooper York said...

There is a lot of evidence that parabens lend themseleves to breast cancer.

Why take the chance.

I never go out without my clown makeup.

The Dude said...

CL, modern American women use alimony to darken their husband's lives. Okay, maybe that should be ex-husband's...

And I am with all of those who don't believe your wife is 50 - is it wrong for us to have thought that you were a skeevy guy in a trench coat robbin' some cradle somewhere? No, it is not.

AllenS said...

Go to bed at three in the morning? I think I've found out a good name for your new hit show: The Afternoon Edition.

john said...

He did rob the cradle. Troop is about 75.

God, I had to google "drop a deuce". I guess that indicates advanced age on my part.

Some mornings I can only "drop a 1-1/2", especially when we have visitors and vocal-urging isn't permitted.

They did a great job with your hair.

I posted this over on EBL: link

Ron Popeil has some stuff you can just spray all over your head, and it will look like hair. Just like magic. If you took some masking tape and covered your forehead and your nose, you could get some nice eyebrows. How cool would that be?
