Not Quite Old Makeup #3
The biggest event most of us attend in any year is the Wedding. Some years, a few other events are thrown in, like New Year’s Eve dances or class reunions. (Twice I went to the ESPY Awards, but I wouldn’t recommend big award ceremonies…sure it’s fun to take a limo to theatre, and see the …
