2. The greatest gift anyone could give that man...
is a trip to a department store cosmetics counter. Cheap, crappy makeup is doing him no favors. Clinique makes a fantastic anti-aging foundation that would work well on him.

He's hoping for the Fountain of Youth in a bottle, but no one's ever done his colors for him and he looks like an Oompa-Loompa.

3. Whoever does his laundry should photo the inside of his shirt collar
It must be the same color as his face.

6. I'm certain you're right
I know he doesn't do spray tans, tho...look at his ears. They're a different color from his face.

Quick beauty tip for Caucasians: Almost all Caucasian females' skintone falls into the Ivory range. Almost all Caucasian males' skintone falls into the Beige range. Boehner falls into the "I'm raiding my wife's makeup deawer" range.

7. How about his mother's make-up drawer?
I have to check out Clinique's foundations, I had used Max Factors Whipped Creme Bronze for years, they discontinued it, and I can't find anything like it.
Purchased a few on ebay for 20.00 a bottle, now they're close to 40.00 a bottle, and as much as I love this product, so far I've refused to pay this much.
I love this bronzing foundation...

10. Whipped Creme...isn't that the sparkly stuff?
I know some of the mineral foundations have a LOT of mica in them, and they're kinda glittery. If that's the look you're going for, try one of those.

11. MF's Whipped Creme is a liquid foundation,bronze is
Edited on Fri Mar-26-10 07:44 AM by orion007
the color.
It's light(whipped) and goes on beautifully,gives a bronzie tanned look, no mica sparkles,
I don't like the mica glitter look.
I am going to check out Clinique this weekend.
Thanks for your reply, you're quite versed on cosmetics.

12. Thanks
I checked Clinique's website. They don't have a "whipped" formula. What you're looking for is a Mousse foundation. I've heard the one Maybelline sells is not all that great.

The product Boehner needs is probably not the one you need, unless your face is as wrinkly and weatherbeaten as his.

13. There are many Mousse foundations but none that are bronzed
I'll have to start experimenting by mixing a Bronzer into a foundation and try to duplicate it somewhat.
Not wrinkly or weatherbeaten (yet).
Thanks for checking Clinique, I am still going to look at their foundations and see if any would work with an added Bronzer.

14. While you're at the department store, stop by the Fashion Fair counter
They sell makeup for women of color...the very lightest shade of souffle makeup they have (which, compared to the product you normally wear, is still fairly dark) may work on you. And since it IS department store product, they'll try it on you to see if it'll work for you.

If you're planning to mix two products together I wouldn't recommend using bronzer--use dark foundation, preferably the same brand and model. Throwing non-foundation products into foundation could do bad things. WHAT bad things I don't know, but why take chances?

15. god dammit!
How do you know this shit? You amaze me! I can follow the car/truck and hardware/home repair/building stuff, but you know WAY more about make up than I do! (and I used to wear the shit):rofl:

16. I've been to classes, and am thinking about going to Esthetics school
I used to think I would like to work at a cosmetics counter, but not in Fayetteville; this is definitely a Maybelline kind of town. Women will go to the MAC counter or the Clinique counter, get their "free makeover" (which the cosmetics companies do because NO ONE is going to spend $15-$20 on one shade of anything unless it's been on their face first--can you blame them?), buy one item, then go to Walmart or a drugstore to buy all the product they need to complete the look. Since makeup is sold on commission, the only way you can be a makeup salesperson in Fayetteville is to be married to a soldier--which, contrary to popular belief, pays pretty well. (It doesn't pay well enough to support a wife and three children on what "E-4 and below"--the four lowest ranks--pays, but an analysis of military pay and sociological factors is not suitable for a thread which started out as talking about John Boehner's makeup and turned into one talking about yours.)

My ultimate goal is to get into Medical Esthetics. Read about it here: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-medical-esthetician.htm You've got to have a freaking LICENSE for this! But there's a demand for it, and it's an important field.

25. Well what else would it be?
Most WOMEN don't wear as much makeup as Boehner does.

When they make the movie of John Boehner's life, who will play him--Ron Perlman (he was Hellboy) or Johnny Depp?

18. Thanks so much I will stop at the FF counter,
I'd be putting a bronze moouse like(squirts out of tube like container) product that I have into the foundation, of course I'd do a small batch.
I use my mortar and pestle sometimes to combine powdered blushes, so I'll eventually figure something out.
I have checked out some foundations that are made for woman of color, but there are none that have a bronze tone.
It just makes one look like they have a nice healthy bronzie tan, without the freaking glitter.
This foundation is the only product that I am kind of obsessed by, everything else can be replaced...
I will let you know the outcome, going shopping tomorrow..

5. I was reading an article about polygamy
And one of the tidbits was that the FLDS sect leader, Jessop, got a "revelation from God" that he needed to use a tanning bed to get a more even tan. My first thought was "Why doesn't he ask Boner for some spray on tan?"

9. What a pathetic man he is....teaching his followers to be very angry rather
than southing them. The word "leadership" doesn't apply to him. He is just a hate monger.

17. Oompa Loompa do-ba-dee-doo
I’ve got a perfect puzzle for you.
Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-dee,
If you are wise you’ll listen to me.
What do you get when you color your face
such a bright orange you can see if from space?
Why do you want to look like a traffic cone?
And why are you such a big prick, eh Boehn?
I don't like the look of it.

21. Arugula, you fucking prick...
Warn people before you do that, okay? Some of us here use laptops for God's sake, and misting them with amaretto is never a good idea!

24. I wonder if he is orange all over or perhaps
other body parts are different colors, like black for his heart.
