…. Basically, they are genetic freaks who spend a couple of hours in hair and makeup." ~ Rebecca Romijn Last week, Macy's posted a load of pictures centered around their Spring plus size apparel on Facebook.

“Beauty has a lot to do with character.” – Kevyn Aucoin
I was poking around on Yahoo's Shine today and came across this article: Do You Change Your Beauty Routine For Men?
