“It’s very nice to have women realize that women our age can be attractive and well groomed and wear fabulous clothes and earrings, and have a sex life.” Bea Arthur on her role in the Golden Girls

When The Three Tomatoes heard about Bea Arthur’s recent passing, we felt like you do when you hear about someone you liked and knew in your past but hadn’t thought about in eons, until you heard they were gone. And then you realized how much you’d actually appreciated them and that strangely you would miss them. And as we realized we’d miss Bea Arthur, it dawned us that we owe her a debt of gratitude.

Why we’re grateful to Bea Arthur
While Bea Arthur had been an acclaimed working actress for years, it wasn’t until she turned 50 and was cast as Maude in 1972 that she became known.This is remarkable on several levels.First, that she became a sitcom star at the age of 50, and more importantly it was the first TV series where a woman was the dominant character – canada cialis generic.Lucy was zany canada cialis generic, and Ricky ruled the roost. June Cleaver, Harriet, and Donna Reed’s roles were to look good and play second fiddle.Edith on All in the Family was afraid of her own shadow, and then along came Maude whose character first appeared in that show – canada cialis generic.She was strong canada cialis generic, opinionated, and not shy about standing up for herself.

And kudos to Norman Lear who created a show that covered everything from the Vietnam War, to Nixon, to abortion.We had actually forgotten about the groundbreaking episode where Maude finds out she’s pregnant at the age of 47 and decides to have an abortion.  Now keep in mind, this was 1972, two months before Roe v Wade was decided.  It makes you think how far we haven’t come. Would any mainstream TV show today, make a 50 plus woman the star of its sitcom and deal with any of the very controversial issues this show took on? Not that we’ve seen.

In fact we watched a recent episode of the new Bob Saget sitcom, which is so unfunny we cringed – canada cialis generic.The episode focused on Bob Saget’s wife who found out the 16 year old girl next door was on birth control pills and had to decide if she should tell the girl’s father; canada cialis generic.And that was supposed to be breakthrough? And in terms of the major networks (cable excluded) the over 50 women on TV this days are few and far between. Brothers and Sisters has two: Sally Field,who plays Nora, an overbearing mother who is way too involved in the lives her grown kids and closed her eyes to her husband’s affairs over the years; canada cialis generic. And Patricia Weiting (same show), who was one of Nora’s late husband’s mistresses, and is of course, the show’s “bitch.” Nothing in between. If anyone out there can name a strong and admirable female character over 50 on network TV, let us know.

And then way before those Sex and the City girls and The Three Tomatoes, there were those fabulous Golden Girls. Here were four terrific women, all well over 50 who gave us all a whole new appreciation for how terrific, sexy, and smart “women who aren’t kids” are.  The show was funny and smart and also broke through taboos.  One of the all time funniest episodes was “Condoms, Condoms, Condoms“.We have posted the clip at 3T.TV.  We’re still laughing out loud and honestly we can’t say that of a single sitcom that’s on the air today.  Network TV has turned into the land of reality shows (okay, we do watch Idol and Dancing with the Stars) and the occasionally humorous sitcom. But banality reigns and women who aren’t kids are supporting characters if they exist at all. Oh, and in the strange but true category we also posted a clip of Bea Arthur singing with Rock Hudson at 3T.TV.

So here’s to you Bea Arthur.  You will always be a Golden Girl and we lift our martini glasses high in thanks to you!

Cheers,

The Three Tomatoes

Think you’ve got it hard trying to take care of a family taking viagra after cialis, raise children and manage a career all at the same time?  Try doing it with a major disability.

I recently had the honor of meeting Fabulously 40′s first Inspirational Woman, San Francisco Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier.Alioto-Pier has a family with three children and a very successful career in the demanding arena of public service – taking viagra after cialis.She has accomplished a great deal professionally, having worked for presidential candidates, served on a president’s council, and been elected to public office.

She has also been paralyzed from the waist down since the age of 13.Her story is both motivational and inspirational – taking viagra after cialis. Taking viagra after cialis: it also proves, as she says, that age is just a number, but one that provides the experience necessary to achieve your goals.

In 1981, Alioto-Pier broke her back in a ski lift accident.Upon learning that she would never walk again, she made a decision never to let her disability get in the way; taking viagra after cialis.Determined to make a difference by speaking for the youth and the disabled, she entered the world of politics at a very young age.

At 17, Alioto-Pier was appointed by President Reagan to the President’s National Council Disabilities Advisory Board.Shortly thereafter, she moved to Littlerock, Arkansas to work for the Clinton-Gore campaign, aiding Al Gore; taking viagra after cialis.Changing gears, she focused on public service and quickly gained momentum in politics, soon moving to Washington, D.C.

Today, Alioto-Pier represents San Francisco’s District 2, which includes the Marina and Pacific Heights neighborhoods; taking viagra after cialis.She establishes city policies and finds solutions for her constituents’ problems.Her current passion is creating jobs for the unemployed.

Despite representing an entire district in San Francisco, Alioto-Pier still finds time to work out on a regular basis.(No more “I’m too busy” excuses, ladies!) She is the mother of three wonderful children, Nicholas, Giovanna and Valentina, and both she and her husband work full-time – taking viagra after cialis. Taking viagra after cialis: nevertheless, their motto is “family first,” a lesson she learned while working for Al Gore’s campaign.When any of her children need her – whether at a teacher’s meeting or sporting event – they have her unwavering support.

With all she has accomplished, Alioto-Pier is certainly an inspiration to others with disabilities.But she also hopes to set an example for the parents of children with disabilities.What does she advise? “If a child can propel themselves, let them,” she urges.  “It may be hard to watch your children learn how to take care of themselves and push themselves, but it’s part of growing up and becoming strong.”

As an accomplished Fabulously 40 woman, Alioto-Pier has strong opinions about careers after 40; taking viagra after cialis.What does she think about starting a business at that point in life?

“It’s never too late!” she insists.“Look at Robert Mondavi – taking viagra after cialis. Taking viagra after cialis: he started his winery from scratch at the age of 55.He was living in a shack at the time and went on to build one of the most famous wineries in the world.You’re never too old to begin something new.”

What about changing careers after 40?

“A girlfriend of mine got accepted to medical school late in her late 20’s,” she recalls.“ Taking viagra after cialis: she debated whether or not to attend, knowing that she would be well into her 30’s by the time she finished her residency.Her mother told her taking viagra after cialis, ‘Go! You’re going to be 40 either way, so you might as well be a doctor at 40.’

“Her mom was right—age is all in your mind.You can make yourself a lot older than you really are, or you can value your experiences and bring them to life; taking viagra after cialis.I don’t think I could have done 10 years ago what I’m doing now.But if you put barriers on yourself you’ll never know what you can do.”

Michela Alioto-Pier is an inspiration to women of all ages – taking viagra after cialis. Taking viagra after cialis: at Fabulously 40, this power woman has been through it all and managed to move mountains and make a difference.You can make a difference too!

I tell you, no matter what I do or where I go.. – cialis coupon..he. – cialis coupon..or she…or it. – cialis coupon..is there wagging its little finger in my face – cialis coupon.And what, you may ask, is this stalking creature? I believe it goes by several names…senility, absent-mindedness, dizziness, and of course its real name (dare I say it?) Old Age; cialis coupon.(Gasp!)

Last night I wanted to heat up some leftover coffee, so I turned the electric burner under my glass drip coffee pot on low for a few minutes, then changed it to warm and went back to the living room to finish the paper. Cialis coupon: suddenly my coffee pot was screaming! “What have you done? What have you done? What have you….” and then the tinkle of broken glass and the swish of coffee splashing onto the stove and the floor.I rushed into the kitchen to find that I had turned the burner to high, not warm. Cialis coupon: and there was Old Age snickering at me from the shadows.I quickly turned my back and got busy with the mop.

Last week I made eggplant Parmesan for dinner on a day when I knew we’d need to have leftovers the next night cialis coupon, as we were going to a screening.I broiled my eggplant slices, turned the oven back to ‘bake’, then put my casserole together and stuck it in the oven – cialis coupon.Thirty-five minutes later, after setting the table and calling my husband to dinner I opened the oven…and found that instead of turning it to ‘bake’ I had turned it off! – So, as O.A.jumped up and down in glee there on the oven shelf I quickly microwaved the lovely eggplant dish and served it.

The next night when we returned from our screening I rushed to the fridge to get the leftover eggplant Parmesan into the oven for warm-ups.I opened the door and….it wasn’t there! I was shocked! Where could it be?? Did we eat it all last night after all?? Then as I looked around the room in disbelief and dismay…there he was…Old Age…pasted on the oven door and getting a good chortle. Cialis coupon: sure enough, I opened the oven and there it was, right where I had left it the night before.

Then today I went to the store to get a spice I needed for tonight’s dinner. Cialis coupon: an hour later I got back home with $78 worth of groceries….and not a spice in sight; cialis coupon.I crumpled Old Age up in the paper bag and stuffed it in the recycles before he got a chance to enjoy the moment.

So here I am wondering how long I can hold him at bay; cialis coupon.I go to a water aerobics class six days a week, a tai chi class once a week, I do the crossword puzzle every day, I go over memory exercises in my head any time I have to stand around waiting for something, I eat everything they tell me I should, and still..; cialis coupon..he lurks behind every mental lapse, stalking me as though we were in a “Law And Order” episode, laughing away.

Well, I guess I just have to look at it as a very, very long baseball game – cialis coupon. Cialis coupon: so I make a few errors, so what? So he gets a few runs, so what? When I think about it…there have been 67 innings so far and the score is very lopsided in my favor! I guess I shouldn’t begrudge O.A.for being able to score a few hits.Besides, maybe it’ll give us time to become better friends so that eventually we can be pals instead of enemies; cialis coupon. Cialis coupon: at least that’s the way I’m gonna look at it. Cialis coupon: stalk away, Old A.- if nothing else cialis coupon, you’ll keep me on my toes.

Judith Haven’t-Lost-The-Game-Yet Drake

Judith Well-Over-60-&-Lovin’-It Drake has been in the ‘Show Biz’ for 45 years, crossing paths with the likes of Mary Martin, Betty Grable, Cher & Calista Flockhart along the way, been a wife to Mr.Whipple and screamed for T-Mobile. Cialis coupon: her priority now is as a producer with In The Trenches Productions, the first entertainment network for women over 40 on the web.

Cialis 5mg: if someone says to me, “Let’s move my couch 3 inches to the left,” I will have their entire living room completely redecorated in half an hour.The Ancient One was an artist, as was our Daddy, so we got the design genes, the placement DNA and the control issues…well, we’ve already covered that in another blog, but redecorating lends itself well to seeking control of one’s environment…or someone else’s environment.

I’m all about the CHI (now that I know what it is), and ya gotta keep the chi moving, clear things out, move them around, or your physical atmosphere will leave you stuck like glue to the sameness of it all – cialis 5mg.I move my furniture around about every six months when I’ve had one glass of wine too many of an evening – cialis 5mg. Cialis 5mg: it’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys to me…and when I’m done, I’ve got immediate, physical feedback of my handiwork that makes me feel pretty dern good about myself.Of course, when my friends come over, sometimes they forget that the chair is no longer in its usual spot and wind up parked on the floor by accident – cialis 5mg.They’re befuddled by my move-abouts but always seem to love it.

So, last night, The Ancient One suggested that we move her couch about 3 inches to the right, and VOILA! This morning, the entire living room is completely different down to the paintings on the walls and all the objet d’art; cialis 5mg.SalGal always knows that I can’t be stopped when the redecorating bugs climb on me, so she’s totally game to help me move the chi! And, her sense of design far outshines mine, because she doesn’t need to have the right angles I do; cialis 5mg.She can make a corner look like a page from House and Garden in a matter of minutes.

So, GET UP from your computer!…look around…move just two pieces of heavy furniture, and you’ll end up with an entirely new room – cialis 5mg. Cialis 5mg: give shit to Good Will and hang your paintings LOW because when people come to your house they always sit down.Move that CHI!

Tomorrow, SalGal and I will tackle our closets after we have our nightly wine buzz going, so you’ll probably hear about that too!

kk

*****

It was fun moving the whole house around the other night but now I have a crick in my neck and I can’t even move my head around to see what we did – cialis 5mg. Cialis 5mg: kk likes my decorating because I make corners and table tops into little stages.Being an actor and having my roots in the theatre, I make vignettes out of stuff and make sure they are perfectly lit.I might put a glass of flowers from the garden next to a book with a picture of Tony Bennett on it (the ancient one’s favorite book) on the desk and then light it with a forties type reading lamp; cialis 5mg.Voila! You have the ‘I Left My Heart in San Francisco’ corner on the desk. Cialis 5mg: i think I’ll do a ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ corner on the kitchen counter.I could get the hatchet from the garage and that dead bird I saw in the yard and the chicken in the fridge and some ketchup and….hahahahah!!! That would freak KK out! OMG I’m laughing so hard right now I have to stop…I can see the look on KK’s face right now…hahahaha….
Sorry,

SalGal

When I need an idea, I take a walk; discount cialis online.It just works that way.Yesterday, I changed my route, extending the outing by three east-west blocks which, in this neighborhood, can be significant; discount cialis online.A lot can happen in three east-west blocks – discount cialis online.The thought snuck up on me as I made the left onto Pickwick.I don’t know if Pickwick is an avenue or a street or a lane because they don’t use those words here, in Dallas, even on envelopes. Discount cialis online: somehow, the letters arrive.Anyway, the idea usually takes about twenty-three minutes to germinate and make itself known – discount cialis online. Discount cialis online: i don’t worry before then.It was Sunday, and the clock is more forgiving; discount cialis online.Walking on Sundays is more peaceful than walking on other days.

I have a method for doing most things.In part, this derives from an organized brain and a compulsion to achieve, but it also comes from a different necessity.As a single mom, I’ve had to figure out lots of ways to stay ahead of the wave, strategies I discovered only by sailing solo.At the second house on Pickwick, the musing turned into a legitimate concept; discount cialis online.Other people can do what I do discount cialis online, and what other women like me do, I thought, because it usually works.All people can do what I do, in fact, even if they have mates, don’t have kids, want Yorkies or eat brownies for breakfast.They can do it like a single mom discount cialis online, or some of it, anyway, because when it has to happen, you have to make sure it does.By the third house discount cialis online, I thought it would be fun to share the philosophy, reveal the tricks.I will write about it, in all its incarnations, I thought, smiling and picking up speed.Then, like any powerful idea, this one was acknowledged with a nod from somewhere, a “Yes!” from the crowd or in my case, a dollar bill on the ground – discount cialis online. Discount cialis online: folded neatly and perched on a garden rock.One dollar, one moment.I snatched it and ran home.

You know you’re a tomato if…  Con Edison sends you a letter once a quarter suggesting there might be a problem with your gas meter since there’s been no reported usage of the gas hooked up to your stove.

You know you’re a tomato if….you’ve ever gone on vacation and had to buy an extra suitcase to carry home all the things you’ve bought.   Make that two if you’re traveling to Italy — you want to separate those Gucci’s and Prada’s.

You know you’re a tomato if…you have dozens of cookbooks, drawers full of recipes you’ve cut out from everywhere, and eat out most of the time.

You know you’re a tomato if…you secretly buy the supermarket celebrity tabloids, but “claim” you only read them while standing in line.   We confess.  We can’t help ourselves for wanting to know the latest Brad, Angelina saga.   And we know we should be better people, but it’s kind of good to know that even Jen can get dumped and that Jerry Hall has cellulite and Goldie Hawn’s knees are sagging.

Who knew being the wife of a top CEO who has received government bail-out money would be so stressful?  I just finished reading the anonymous “Confessions of a TARP wife in Portfolio and gosh am I grateful I’m not one of those; cheap cialis tadalafil.Here are things I don’t have to worry about:

I don’t have to worry about shipping gift purchases from Berdorf Goodman so I don’t get caught with all those bags by some meany press photographer or blogger; cheap cialis tadalafil.Just look at Perez Hilton and Miss California – cheap cialis tadalafil.I wonder what Perez thinks of TARP lady?

I won’t miss the corporate jet and I actually know my way around commercial airliners, how to board by section number and to bring a sandwich for the ride.

I don’t have to learn new habits, like turning off the lights in rooms as I leave them.  We’ve been doing that for years; cheap cialis tadalafil. Cheap cialis tadalafil: and our bulbs are energy efficient too.

I don’t have to worry about missing the opening nights of the opera, the ballet, and museums for fear of being photographed for the New York Social Diary.Off-Broadway on a Monday night and my daughter’s dance recital are pretty good too.

I’ve been shopping my own closet for quite a while now, except my closet has clothes from L&T and Macy’s that were purchased using friends and family discount coupons, not designer duds that we’re re-tailoring.  And frankly the re-tailoring of my closet clothes would cost more than the original purchase price.

I don’t have to worry about where I’m hosting my husband’s next birthday party.  A barbeque on the deck and some really bad karaoke is a crowd pleaser.

But TARP wife and I do have some worries in common.

My husband too wakes up more often these nights, hoping we’ll able to keep paying the mortgage.  And he too worries about letting down the people closest to him – cheap cialis tadalafil.Yes cheap cialis tadalafil, the fear of failure is not just the province of Ivy League MBAs.

I too worry if we’ll ever be able to retire, although I suspect my definition of that term is somewhat different.  And yes, our stock portfolio has declined by 95% too, but our “portfolios” basically exist in a 401K plan.

We’re eating out less these days too, but I’ve learned how to make a really wicked lasagna.And the steaks at Ruby Tuesday’s are surprisingly good for a no star Michelin joint.  And the press isn’t usually hovering there either.

And like millions of parents cheap cialis tadalafil, we too hope we can pay for our kids college educations.But, we’re stuck in the middle of making too much to qualify for financial aid, yet not making enough where we wouldn’t feel it.

Who knew we actually had so much in common?  So I apologize for being angry with those CEO TARP husbands like yours, and per your suggestion I will place the blame on Andrea Mitchell’s husband, that Alan guy who is really responsible for this mess.

Oh yeah, and I—PTA Mom–wear a recycled, Whole Foods reusable bag over my head and was anonymous before you TARP lady – cheap cialis tadalafil. Cheap cialis tadalafil: so stick that in your Berdorf bag.

I have another reason to like Barack Obama – he’s a White Sox fan.But he was born in 1961 and didn’t get to experience the excitement of the 1959 Go-Go White Sox.  1959 was the year I fell in love with the White Sox.  What a year it turned out to be.  The White Sox ended the Black Sox curse of 1919 and won the AL pennant.  Since I grew up on the north side buy 10 mg cialis, pretty much exclusively Cub territory, it was odd that I developed adoration for the Sox.  But I happened to see a photo of the handsome shortstop Luis Aparicio in the sports section of The Chicago Tribune and I was smitten.If you check out this You Tube video of Louie Aparicio and Mel Allen you can see why “Little Looie” made my ‘tween heart flutter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mni9zRmm3E

My crush on Louie Aparicio soon extended to the whole team.  Their season record was 94 and 60, but numbers don’t tell the excitement and thrill of those games.  It seemed like every other game was won by one hard earned run.  That year many key players had one of their best seasons.  Louie Aparicio stole 56 bases, second baseman Nellie Fox won a Gold Glove and batted 306 (interesting to note, Nellie Fox only struck out 216 times in a Major League career that spanned 18 years), 39 year old pitcher Early Winn had an impressive 22 and 10 season and the painfully slow catcher Sherm Lollar won a Gold Glove and hit 22 home runs with 84 RBI’s.  Games were won through brilliant defense, daring base stealing and clutch pitching.

While my girlfriends were screaming and crying over Elvis, Frankie Avalon and Paul Anka, my emotional life was tied to the White Sox.  The first time I went to Comiskey Park, I sobbed as I ran up and down the aisles, overcome at seeing the field for the first time.

Toward the end of summer, the pennant race tightened as the Cleveland Indians nipped at their heels.  The final showdown was on September 22 in Cleveland.  It’s the bottom of the ninth (don’t all great baseball stories take place in the bottom of the ninth?!), the Sox are leading 4-2 when the Indians load the bases.  There is one out.  I’m on the couch barely able to breathe, watching the game through my fingers, while whispering prayers to the humongous portrait of The Sacred Heart on the den wall.  In comes Gerry Staley for relief.  He throws one pitch to Cleveland’s Vic Power.  Power slams it to Louie Aparicio, who nimbly picks it up, tags second and throws it to first baseman, Big Ted Kluszewski, who makes the out and The White Sox win the American League Pennant.

I whooped, I whelped, I screamed with joy at the top of my lungs.  I ran deliriously up and down the stairs of our house.  I was so overcome with joy I hardly knew what to do with myself.  Then my absolute joy turned to absolute horror.  The air raid sirens suddenly went off.  This was during the cold war when Soviet leader Nikita Khruschev threatened to bury America.  The ONLY time the air raid siren sounded was on Tuesday at 10:30 AM, as part of civil defense awareness.  The nuns told us if we ever heard the siren at any other time to start making a good Act of Contrition.  This was the era of duck and cover drills.  My entire family was in a panic.  My mother began sprinkling holy water around the house and on us 5 kids.  My dad cursed his luck for his half completed basement air raid shelter.  We ran outside.  The neighborhood was in chaos.  No one knew what to do.  We ran back inside.  I grabbed my picture of Louie Aparicio and ran into the basement, screaming about how unfair it was that my boys had scrambled to win the pennant, break the 1919 curse and now wouldn’t get to The World Series because of the Russians!

I don’t remember how long we stayed crouched in the basement waiting for the sound of bombers and the flash of white light.  1959 was well before instant news but eventually an announcement must have been made.  This was Chicago’s own War of the Worlds and many citizens did flee the city.  As for the White Sox, they got to the The Big Show and played the Los Angeles Dodgers.  The first game was a rout 11-0.  I was too young to realize that a rout is frequently a bad omen and as it turned out, the Dodgers did take the series 4 to 2.  But I will always remember that glorious summer when I fell in love with baseball because of a 5’9 speedster shortstop from Venezuela.  If I ever meet Barack Obama, I’ll have to ask him why he became a White Sox fan.

Have you ever thought about kissing Robert Redford or George Clooney and felt a little lightheaded?  Maybe you are working in the garden kneeling while you intently prune the daffodils and you stand up quickly to run for the phone and the world starts whirling around you? Or, in my case, you are walking up a hill and your chest feels like it is going to explode and at the same time you feel very dizzy.  Dizziness is a common symptom that can be tough to diagnose and hard to shake; the cialis.In 2006 Americans made an estimated 7.8 million visits to doctors, emergency rooms and hospital out patient clinics because of dizziness – the cialis.Women accounted for about 60 percent of those visits.

More than likely the dizzy spell will be something simple like a drop in blood sugar when you haven’t eaten or the side effect of a new medication.Luckily for me the dizzy symptom was not heart disease but a NON-life threatening electrical problem in my heart.  Because it was persistent I saw my general practitioner who then sent me to a specialist – the cialis.Ladies’ Home Journal investigates the three types of dizziness—light-headedness the cialis, vertigo and disequilibrium, when it’s appropriate to call the doctor and how to successfully deal with specialists.

“Dizzy Signals” in the Health/Body Talk section of Ladies Home Journal May Issue gives you all the information you need to be able to decipher if your dizziness might be more than just too many cups of coffee, what are the conditions that can cause chronic dizziness and gives you the tools to help you and your doctor get to the specific cause.  It is an extremely important article to read.Find out where you can go for more information and get out of the spin cycle today by checking out Ladies Home Journal’s May Issue.

– the cialis

by The Midlife Gals

Sal Gal and I have decided to be 35 and 37.She’s 37, and I’m 35 – buy cheapest cialis. Buy cheapest cialis: it just sounds better and feels better too.Until, of course, we have to put our mascara on in one of those magnifying mirrors that makes you look like your face is one BIG eye; buy cheapest cialis.My eyelids have creeped down to produce their own double chins, so I have to really open my eyes wide and lift my eyebrows in order to put eye shadow on.And buy cheapest cialis, speaking of eyebrows, mine are going bald so I have to use a pencil to ‘fill in.’ I’m thinking of tattooing eyebrows on so I can eliminate one more step in my beauty regimen, but then I’d have to glue individual hairs on top of that so I wouldn’t look like Marlene Dietrich!

Any TV commercial promising that their product will do three things in one for you, like eliminate crow’s feet, plump the under-eye area and lighten it is just LYING.It’s like they think we are complete idiots who believe that crap.I know they are lying because I’ve bought every product that makes these promises. Buy cheapest cialis: granted, they got me to purchase it, but only once! My eyes have ‘character.’ They look back at me in the mirror and say, “KK, you’ve earned every one of these crow’s feet.Considering how you’ve abused our skin and forgotten to moisturize at the end of the day, we look pretty dern good.

SalGal puts baby oil on her face every night…baby OIL! If I did that, my face would be just one big zit at all times.And buy cheapest cialis, that lipstick that promises to stay on all day long…pish posh! That’s bullshit unless you apply the clear plastic coating on top of it every 30 minutes…and what man would want to kiss that plastic coating, I mean, really?!

I used to like facials too, but now I look forward to them like I look forward to a mammogram. Buy cheapest cialis: they scrape, tweeze and squeeze those blackheads, white heads and red heads until my face is cratered like the moon.And buy cheapest cialis, because they want you to come back, they then fill the craters with HEAVY cream so that you’ll have to come back.At the end of a facial, they give me a neck massage with the same heavy cream, making every hair on the back of my head stick straight out in the back. Buy cheapest cialis: because they wrap the top of my forehead to keep the cream off my bangs, they end up plastered to the top of my head so that I look very much like Bozo the Clown with bed head.Don’t ever plan an evening out after a facial the same day – buy cheapest cialis.And, here’s the worst…because a facialist has a bird’s eye, close-up view of my nostrils, I try to give my nose a good blow before I go in – buy cheapest cialis.At one facial appointment I recently had, the gal said to me, “Oops…you have a ‘bat at the cave entrance’…let’s just PLUCK that right out.” The pain was worse than a bikini wax, forcing an involuntary, giant SNEEZE right in her face.I’m too embarrassed to ever go back to HER again.

So much for being 35…

I wish I had your problem with the whole eyebrow thing.My problem is just the opposite.If I don’t keep them plucked and shaped 3 times a week they will grow together over my nose and form a widow’s peak that points down to my mouth.I would look like Bela Lugosi in drag.

I take my eye makeup off every night with baby oil and then rub what’s left all over my face because I heard 30 years ago that Cleopatra and the Egyptian women had beautiful skin because they put oil all over themselves every day.They used olive oil though and I didn’t want to treat my face like an Italian entree – buy cheapest cialis.Seeing as how people always think KK and I are twins and constantly ask us who is the older sister, my baby oil regimen seems to be workin just fine; buy cheapest cialis.Oh, this really irks KK to the point where now whenever we introduce ourselves to people she immediately says, ‘She’s older!’ Thanks a lot, KK. Buy cheapest cialis: one of these days I’m going to bitchslap her in front of everybody.She says, ‘Put yourself in my shoes about this why don’t you!’ Well I have and every time I do my feet hurt.

Here’s the thing; I should be the one who is jealous because KK is the prettiest woman you’ve ever seen – buy cheapest cialis.When we go out together people always think she’s Jamie Lee Curtis (the Mother in Freaky Friday); buy cheapest cialis.They really do and they approach her – buy cheapest cialis.I, on the other hand, am a handsome woman and sometimes mistaken for Lyle Lovett; buy cheapest cialis. Buy cheapest cialis: oh, well, what can you do.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if you’re walking at night downtown so is your wallet.
So…look pretty but keep those Revlon Robin’s Egg Blue shadowed eyes open and have a nice day!
