There are two kinds of women in the world: girls who grew up dreaming of their wedding dress and the ones who imagined the day they’d wear a velvet gown to an embassy ball.
For those of us who wanted the ball gown, the dresses in Thierry Mugler’s Angel ads were a revelation.

We live through winter dreaming of hot summer days, but when the humidity comes, we hide indoors, dashing from air-conditioned car to office to mall and back again. That is no way to live. [geek on]

If you’ve ever sprinkled baby powder on your roots as substitute dry shampoo or shaved your legs with conditioner instead of aerosol foam, you can call yourself a Beauty MacGyver.

And then we copy their moves.

While Janine is away, Cranky Beauty Pants and I are holding down the fort here at BeautyGeeks HQ, testing products, buying ourselves extravagant gifts at Dealuxe and Gilt with the company credit card, and making Staff fix us complicated cocktails (all admin assistants interns should know how to make a Stinger or a Rusty Nail).
