> One of these is Adrianne Arpel who makes me CRAZY. If I know she is on
> I become riveted to the set.

> I am not complaining about how she looks. She is in her mid 60s and

> I am complaining about how she applies lipstick on other people, her

> Everything else she is great at. But that one thing!!
>
> She is funny and manic too. She talks about her facial hair - she says
> she looks like a chimp. I have heard her mention she has a strong
> following in Europe.
>
> She has a few books at Amazon, her products are at the expected url.
