Buried lead: Women spend billions in makeup?

"Fans are donating their own money to Kylie Jenner so she can become a billionaire"
Kylie Jenner graces the cover of Forbes Magazine's August issue, which highlights America's female billionaires.

The financial magazine says Jenner is "conservatively worth" $900 million.

Jenner began selling her makeup line, Kylie Cosmetics in 2016. Since the company's launch, she has sold more than $630 million worth of makeup. In 2017 alone, the company made $330 million.

But that's not enough for some of Jenner's fans. A GoFundMe page has been created by Josh Ostrovsky, known as the "FatJew" on Instagram to help Jenner reach billionaire status.

The GoFundMe page reads this is "EXTREMELY IMPORTANT," and that it's "heartbreaking" Jenner only has a net worth of $900 million.

"Makeup!" used to be a slapstick line now it's dead serious.

What could be more serious than getting to a billion?

Answer: the day after.

You just know, if these people vote at all, they vote Democrat.

These were the types Lena Dunham talked to in '12.

I guess the new democrat star is going to dispense free makeup when democratic socialism comes?

I'm talking about this. ..

Well, Lefties are herd (and herded) animals.

PBS had a show where folks had to live as pioneers out on the prairie. They had to forego all modern conveniences. One family had two teenage daughters and they literally cried when they couldn't wear their make-up, I think the wife was very upset too. They even tried to sneak into town to buy some cosmetics.

I remember that show. The PBS show hosts were so contemptuous of that family that I had to like them. They also sneaked in a box spring mattress that was discovered during a surprise inspection by the humorless PBS scolds.
