This document is a nice summary of public/private money spent on all the stadium projects since 1997. I like how the people of my fair city told Bud Adams to buzz off on his stadium extortion, only to finance Reliant Stadium to the tune of 61% less than a decade later.

The things that kept me from running amok with an axe were: (1) occasionally being sprung from the bedside to attend pub night, and (2) telling everyone who called asking “what can I do?” to bring food. “Is there anything else I can do?” “Yes. Bring beer.”

Where is that place? I love chorizo!

This is sly.

Wish I could rant about the race-based treatment I get in regards to just requesting a sedative (working odd hours means not getting quality rest because I can’t just sleep on command and it’s probably quite literally killing me), but am amazed I said this much about it, because it’s stressful to even talk about.

Best way to find a place is by recommendation, always.

Oh they do such a phenomenal job Obama poached one of the barbers! That same stylist was responsible for giving me the cutest lil fro ever, but beyond that he helped my hair to grow out strong and healthy. I have good memories from that place. My ex put me up on it.

I went to school in the middle of rural America, and got the most healthy perms and beautifully done haircuts there! (Wisconsin, Fox River Valley). It’s sheer laziness.

Also, point of interest, not all white people have the same skin color and tone, either. So it’s not like they’ve *never* adjusted to skin color or tone before and then all of a sudden, “Whaa? You expect me to match that color?” Come on. Either you’re bad at your job, or you’re inexcusably stupid all around, makeup…

You were robbed by your instructors but THAT? IS NOT MY PROBLEM.

Where she left Zeus a weeping, sobbing heap.

You also should be able to write it off on your damn taxes as a business expense, so no excuses.

Or pantyhose? That used to drive me nuts as well. No Leggs, I am darker than “tan” and I do not turn “nude” when I take my clothes off. It was either black stockings or look crazy. My solution to the makeup and pantyhose problems is to just stop wearing all of it (only lipstick and maybe eye makeup on special…

Yep, as if she stepped off Mt. Olympus.

I always have colors as deep as “blue black,” but my clients are all very diverse. I’ve known artists who only worked in the rich, white neighborhoods who could not for the life of them do ethnic makeup. Flipside: it’s expensive to buy new product, but it’s totally possible to keep a small kit together that works for…

I am a makeup artist and though I generally know the model’s general complexion before I arrive, I am prepared to mix and mingle colors until I get the perfect match. I can go from light to deep easily because I have the right colors for a beautiful diversity of women even if I have to buy something special just for…

Exactly.

yeah I’m a little interested in just how much makeup would be needed to cover the full spectrum of skin tones.

then again, I’m also getting the impression that this wasn’t a “oh, the shade we have for your foundation isn’t perfect,” and instead was a, “we only have something 15 shades lighter than your skin.”
