Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.

That is actually why they came up with the brand name Panasonic for marketing here in the US.

And I thought the USA was getting soft!

Eyeliner only if I remember correctly.

I'm just glad she wasn't into guys who sawed off their own thumbs, or it would be more difficult for me to hold my drink. I haven't seen her since her boyfriend got out of jail that summer...and I haven't worn makeup since.

The things we do to please the ladies. Did you apply the eyeliner yourself? I reminded myself this morning how much I hate having things near my eyes. My pillow was over my head, and being mostly asleep, I thought my eyes were closed. Enter rough fingers, rubbing supposedly closed eyes. My eye didn't feel good until about 4 hours later

I actually disagree with you completely, but I'll explain why.

Every wig or toupee you've ever seen somebody wearing, has been a bad one. Well, all the ones I've seen have been bad ones. I can only assume that your experience has been similar.

It's easy to look at that and say, "Well, all the hair pieces I've ever seen have looked bad, so all hair pieces must look bad."

However, this leaves out one really important point: you never see the good ones. There are people who wear a hair piece every single day, and the only people who know, are people who knew them before they put on the hairpiece. You never see them because they are good hair pieces.

A good example of this is one of my employees. She's a woman, so it's not a perfect example, but a good example none the less.

She's about 70, and as a result, she doesn't have much hair of her own. She wears a wig to work every single day. She had worked here for almost a year before anybody realized that she wore a wig. We all just figured she died her hair. (You don't see many 70 year old red heads)

Anyway, the only reason anybody ever realized she wore a wig, was that she got bored with the medium length red wig, and decided to wear a long brown one. Nobody was sure what to think, until she came back the next day with the exact same medium length red hair she'd had before.

I asked her about it to be sure, and sure enough, she has almost a dozen different wigs, and they are all top quality wigs.
