Show Community SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS WEDNESDAY MAY 1, 1996 By Dixie Brunner Cosmetic cures It was going to be a change so have often done a number of odd quick Indy 500 pit crews would be jealous. I had only five minutes before I had to be at the ballpark to take a picture. I ran into the bedroom and grabbed a pair of shorts and shirt from the drawer. I whipped off my dress and tugged at my panty hose... momentum caused me to fall to the floor. I yanked again but my hose were glued to my leg. As I lay on my bedroom floor struggling with the unforgiving nylon, I realized that I had once again fallen victim to the dread malady that plagues so many women Cosmetic cures. It all began earlier in the day, when I had noticed a run in my panty hose. I attempted to treat the potential threat by painting a glob of nail polish on the snag, theory being the polish would freeze the run and it wouldnt get any worse. But I hadnt given thought to the ramifications of my actions. My hose were unmercilessly glued to my leg. A friend told me recently that she always uses the nail polish cure, the only trouble being that she forgets to carry clear nail polish with her. 'More than once people have directed me to the emergency room for having a bright red glob running down my leg. Through the years women -c- olored things, in the name of curing a cosmetic flaw they were faced with. When I was in high school, if didnt have time to shampoo, the magazines told you that yrou the quick fix was to shake powder into your hair. That worked fairly well, until you were cited by the EPA for the fragrant dust cloud emitting from yTour scalp. Rough night or out late? Why then all 3Tou have to do is cut a couple of cucumber slices and place them over your eyes. It doesnt help a bit, and you end up looking like a chef salad. There was a time when yTou were supposed to treat dull, lifeless hair with beer. It was another cure that really didnt work, but you ended up smelling like a brewery. Men arent without their little fix-i- ts either. If a guy got busted in the eye, he was supposed to reduce the swelling and minimize discoloration by putting a beefsteak on the sore eye. The barking pack of wild dogs wanting the meat, would probably make anynne forget about the pain. I guess that we all adapt and adjust to lifes little cosmetic challenges, but sometimes youve got to wonder whether the remedy Is worse than the problem By the way, does anybody have any nail polish?
