Star Powder

One of the downsides to all this acting stuff - according to my son, the actor, at fourteen years of age - is all the fuss over appearance. 'I mean really,' he'd state, 'is all this necessary?'

Why, yes, yes it is, son. The bright lights wash one out, whether on stage or in front of a camera. Every good actor submits himself to this process without nary a complaint.

Besides. It's a great way to solicit a hearty fawning over by all the cute make-up artist babes.
