Miss Washington Outs Herself as Make-up Hoarder
Beauty Alert! was in a great MSNBC article on germs in cosmetics and make-up hoarding. As a former hoarder myself, I was in good company when Tracy Turnure, Miss Washington, also fessed up to being a person who keeps things for years on end. (photo: Carissa Ray/msnbc.com)

Actors, Throw Out That 20 Year Old Ben Nye
Why do so many actors have their stage make-up from 20 years back? I just hooked up with my college teacher on Facebook, Gail Holbrook.
