Um, not everyone's spouse/SO uses cosmetics. My spouse's fashion bill isn't
any higher than mine, and HE doesn't use any cosmetics (at least none that
I'm aware of :) ). Of course, he's the one who got me pregnant and I have to
admit, that's kinda put a kink in my Triumph fund....
Cheers & Happy Thanksgiving,
