Just spent some time visiting this site Dova sent me a link to, America As It Was-A Tour of the USA in Vintage Postcards. They even have one of Downey! The ones of Angels Flight in Hollywood, circa 1930, are really impressive. So are the ones of the Hollywood freeway--with no traffic!

My boyfriend must think I've finally lost it: today I smeared salad dressing all over my face. He knew I was wierd, but... Actually, it's an old(ish) beauty trick called the Miracle Whip Facial. And it's just what you think it is. I read about it on a health and beauty forum at Long Hair Lovers. Let me just add to the numerous testimonials, I love it!!! My skin is softer and smoother already. But it's supposed to be done for 6-8 weeks for maximum effectiveness, so I'll write more about my results later.

The way I look at it is that, unlike most of my beauty products, this one doesn't require a call to the local poison control center if ingested. However, Adam disagrees.
