A few of my favorite makeup things

October 4, 2008 By Northwest Asian Weekly

I have been involved in it my whole life. Naturally, I have tested plenty of products out there and have grown to love many. There are even some I can hardly live without. Some are from your local Nordstrom and others are just a trot down to the local drug store. I love mixing and matching, and any time there’s a bargain I am a happy camper.

October 4, 2008 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Erasing race under the knife

October 4, 2008 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Virgina Gaw, 51, was born with double eyelids and through her childhood, she had bright wide eyes. She got plastic surgery because aging has made her top lids a bit “droopy,” giving her the appearance of narrow eyes and being tired all the time.

October 4, 2008 By Northwest Asian Weekly

The door swings open releasing a whiff of the stale air that floats around the treasures I’ve come to search through. The smell is reminiscent of an old closet or forgotten attic. But that doesn’t deter me.

Join the revolution

October 4, 2008 By Northwest Asian Weekly
