This Week’s top articles
How’s it going out there? What have you people been up to this weekend? Something fun I hope. Tabs, El Hub and I are just chugging along and enjoying the arrival of spring, finally! We’re such weather lightweights out here, LOL! I feel horrible for the folks on the east coast still digging themselves out from under all that snow. Damn, I hope spring treats them well because this of all years they should have it.
Before I post the open thread today I’m spending some time practicing with my cameras. You’d be surprised to know how much time I spend on photography.

Vetting MAC Art supplies pro Longwear Lipstain Markers
“Here are seven of the nine colors. I’m curious to hear what you think. I like how rich the reds and browns are, but I think a lot of ’em look alike on my lips, maybe due to my pigmented pucker.”
Branch Out This spring With Sonia Kashuk’s Bamboo Brushes
“New for spring, Sonia crafted these limited-edition eye, face and cheek brushes from environment-friendly bamboo, cork and a mix of natural and synthetic fibers.
