WHO NEEDS IT??? Are you kidding? There are all kinds of devotion to and excitement regarding the notion of stylishness or as I prefer calling it, playing dressing up. I get to go for broke every time my band plays–I owe it to the people who pay good money to see us perform. And stage makeup is a far cry from the day to day. From war paint and spackle to subtle enhancement, it’s a great thing. I celebrate a woman’s (and man’s) right to feel as good about herself as s/he darn well pleases. It’s that mirror, mirror thing–if you stand a little taller and walk a little more confidently, good for you. For me, it’s a matter of degrees. If the woman you go to bed with at night is unrecognizable the next morning without her makeup, ugh. But I was not put on this planet to judge.

Picture this: a fine restaurant in New York, LA, Paris, London, Chicago, Houston (and any restaurant in Houston that has anything whatsoever with Robert Del Grande means perfection–trust me). Incredible menu, elegant surroundings, ethereal music–and a roomful of naked people. Could be good, granted. But, in general–wrong.

So, dress and adorn to your heart’s delight, dearest hearts. Happy spring!

All my best wishes,

April
