I might as well call this blog Story of an Upstart. Never thought of myself as an upstart until recently, at an age that shall remain undisclosed. Just as easily call it Story of a Downstart, since what I am looking at here is the second half of my life.
But before I begin, does anyone else out there think it curious that people think of Barack Obama as handsome? Handsome? Many words come to mind that would suffice. Tall. Lanky. Thin. Boyish. Great smile. Nice looking. Cute, perhaps ... that woman's word men often don't like being called. But handsome? I think not. And I don't even begin to understand Obama Girl. Or is that satire?
"You're so cute," I would say to Ex Boyfriend. "No, handsome," his reply. But handsome to me means grandness of some kind. A gorgeous car or an architectural masterpiece or Robert Redford.
I like Barack Obama, and he may be our next president. I'm a longtime Hillary supporter, but I confess I do get it when people indicate, in so many ways, they just might not like her quite as much as I do.
In any case, my startup, Alice Cosmetics, may live or die by how well the next president goes about fixing our economy.
