BEAUTY CHALLENGE:

1. Look in the mirror after you shower, no makeup, no hairstyle

2. Think: Am I beautiful?

3. Imagine yourself with Steve Buschemi eyes

4. Blink

5. Look again: You do not have Steve Buschemi eyes. This is good.

6. Wonder: But Steve Buschemi is a great actor. Could I be a great actor?

7. Make faces in the mirror like you're acting

8. Play a David Bowie song and sing in the mirror

9. Fuck the mirror, keep singing Bowie. It's hard to dance and sing in a bathroom

10. This is fun. Avoid mirror, it's boring. Unless you're putting on Bowie makeup. Then I recommend the Life on Mars look.

Family Treasures

All I know about this object is that it is from South America. It seems to be ceramic, has a small hole in the top, and rattles.
