Having played many roles of scientific intellect I do have an empathy for that world.

The game in beauty is changing so much if your product isn't high tech or can't make a unique performance claim - plump your lips reduce your lines look glossy and stay on for 24 hours - you can't go to market today. I'm not just talking about a $20 lipstick but a $5 lipstick!

It is a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it.
