Remember when rouge spelled "hussy," when lipstick meant "brazen," when nail polish branded you "common"?

...is a talented staff.  Meet my backup girls; I poached them from dear Thombeau.  While I think he's forgiven me, he still mentions how much he misses Thing One and Thing Two.  I'd feel worse about it, but after all, I'm a boy on the go - between running a Café and running after two terriers - well, let's just say I need all the help I can get.

When do we want ‘em?

NOW!

During World War Two, it wasn’t just stockings that were in short supply for women.

Bobby pins were a scarce commodity too as the metal was needed for the war effort.
