Free Beauty and More Celeb Sitings

Discovered a freebie event that beauty.com was hosting to promote their website. An all day makeover/freebie giveaway!

I had some time to kill between work and rehearsal so thought I'd buzz over there quick to check it out. Although there was a crowd there, there wasn't as many people as I expected. I got my bag of goodies (which included rather sizeable samples of Grace by Philosophy, Phtyo and Murad) and then checked out where the smallest lines were for makeovers. ;)

Got a "morning makeover" with just the basic makeup applied (no color - just fresh face look). A gal standing in line with me was very much into small talk as she asked me where I heard about the event, where I worked, talked about the weather, etc. When I got to the makeup artist he started complaining about how tired he was and muttering about Asians. I made a face as the gal I had been talking to was Asian and could hear him. He responded with a shrugged off attitude. I wasn't sure what to make of it until I realized my hearing sucks and he said AGENTS not ASIANS. Good Grief!

Unfortunately, I didn't have time for any other makeovers. They had an apparently famous hair stylist there giving free haircuts (he had an assistant to hold hair for him as he did his thang). Had I not had rehearsal I would have gladly stood in line to take advantage of that, but alas...

Heading over to rehearsal I ran into a people jam and muttered to myself as I tried to figure out what the holdup was. It was the opening night of Young Frankenstein: The Musical! In an attempt to not make myself part of the jamming problem I tried to keep a decent pace as I peeked thru to see who was being interviewed. I caught a glimpse of Lauren Graham and before I ran into someone I decided to focus forward and happened to catch Paul Simon and his son walking in the "normal people" part of the crowd! Not sure if it was just coincidence he was on the street during that time or if he was headed to the show too but just didn't want a media blitz. He's looking old - but at least he hasn't attempted surgery to make him not look that way. I'm all for looking old and REAL. Not fake young. Bleh.

I arrived at rehearsal to find out that one of the actors was switched out with just about a week til showtime! On the surface the switch seems to be for the better, hopefully it will be...
