If you’re one of my lovely gentleman readers who is squeamish about “female things,” now would be a good time for you to find something a bit less unsettling to read. Like 2,000 pages of ObamaCare legislation. Take care, and we’ll see you tomorrow. Or after the next election.

When the afternoon begins with a professional hair and makeup artist and a photographer at the front door, you know it’s going to be a fun day. It all began yesterday at noon when über talented hair and makeup artist Mandy McKenna showed up with her 100 pound magic kit.
