Ah, the SMG Maybelline ads.  Now, I *love* Sarah.  I adore the way she
looks.  But those ads do terrible, terrible things to her.  The worst is
the one for the lipstick in which not only is the color they picked ugly
in general and hideously ugly on her, but it looks like it was applied
by a three year old playing with a parent's cosmetics.  There's a bit on
her teeth, even.  

The Maybelline ads did *not* make it into my SMG pic collection.

--jen, happy that there will *finally* be a new Buffy tomorrow!  :)
