Mascara Ads: This is something I've been thinking about for a while...

I enjoy make up. Really, I do. I have been an avid MAC user since I was twelve, and recently converted over to BareMinerals as well.

But now I must expose them for their LIES:

THESE EYELASHES ARE FAKE.

I am utterly annoyed by every and all mascara ads. Not ONE of these models are wearing their own lashes--- ALL. FAKE. Every time a mascara ad comes on (especially the CoverGirl one with Drew Barrymore) I must change the channel to avoid throwing my TV out my window screaming "LIARS!!!!!" I get so peeved that these advertisers think we will actually believe their client's product has magically transformed the beautiful model's eyelashes into lush, gorgeous works of art.

Just give me an oldie but goodie and I'll be happy:

And, in the end, would we really buy their product if the eyelashes were short and clumpy? No. But let's be honest in our advertising...

Maybe this woman owns the "Get'R Done Hair and Nails Salon" in Oildale, CA.

I was driving around the beautiful town of Bakersfield, CA, and I saw this license plate:

I had to re-read it several times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating from the heat. And then I promptly took a picture on my phone. ("Ooooo, I should blog about that!" moment)

Just in case you didn't get that, the letters are:

"G-I-T-T-R D-N".

I try really hard to convince my friends from the rest of Southern California that Bakersfield is not as bad as everyone claims it to be. But seriously, White-Trash-Woman-Driver, you make us take a million steps backwards in that battle, (not to mention the Battle of Stop Making Derogatory Comments About A Woman Unless You Are A Woman Talking to/Gossiping About Another Woman) when you drive around with the Most White Trash License Plate of the Century. Congratulations.
