Excellent thread. Thanks for taking on the task.

I just got back from an early morning surveillance. I just hate getting up at 4 am to go sit in a hot cornfield for 5 hours. To make things worse, I left my car windows down last night and it rained. So I sat in a hot cornfield on wet lambswool and got a soggy tuckus.

I get to repeat the entire event tomorrow morning. Uck.

Kind of a funny Bare Escentuals story. My mother found out that all her friends were using Bare Minerals so she decided to hop on the bandwagon. ( I guess my telling her I would supply her with all the minerals she could ever want wasn't good enough for her). She ordered the kit from the informercial and told me that she really didn't think it gave the same coverage as the informercial. Well they gave her 2 mineral viels ( transluscent powder) and two warmths. No foundation!!! So I called the company, explained that my mother got an incomplete order and they are replacing everything.

I called the president of the company and told her what happened and told her that she needs to itemize what should be in the kit. Since there is no itemized sheet, gals might not know that they got the wrong stuff and be disappointed.

I will say, now that I know what should be in the kit, it's a HUGE value. All those brushes are worth more than the entire kit itself.

I also called the production company for those of you who wanted to know what the informercials would run. She said that they don't have a schedule, but they are running constantly, my mother says that she can't turn on the TV without seeing it somewhere.

The informercial can be seen on STYLE, Lifetime, CBNC, Animal Planet, Bravo, FoodTV, and several broadcast stations when they have paid programming.

I still have not seen your infomercial...Will have to look for it again.

Last week you said Midnight in the Garden of Evil was one of your favorite movies and I just wonder if you read the book? I highly recommend it to those who have not read it....

If you posted an explaination as to why you are doing early morning survellance in corn fields, I missed it. Are you trying to keep the racoons out of the sweetcorn? An explaination is in order
