Oh, thank heavens

Brought to my attention by the erstwhile kizlj, I am sharing with you a truly wondrous story of humanity and the wonders that happen when we all pitch in to help.

In an effort to help others affected by this disaster, e.l.f. Cosmetics
has created 10,000 special Hurricane Katrina Relief Beauty Kits that include:

* pressed powder
* shimmering facial whip for the eyes, lips and face
* lip moisturizer
* lip gloss
* mascara

. . .

* e.l.f. will be shipping these kits to people directly affected by the
hurricane disaster.

Cheer up, people of New Orleans. You may have lost your homes, your business, your livelihoods, your loved ones, and you're stranded at the Convention Center waiting for buses that may or may never come, there's no food, there's no drinking water, the dead are piling up around you, the people who are supposed to be the Good Guys are holding you at gunpoint while the Bad Guys are running amok doing their thing, but at least you'll all look like pretty pretty princesses!

This news, hot on the heels of slit's findings that Halliburton will finally get the chance to nab a sweet piece of this hurricane action and CNN's side-by-side comparison of what the Government's been saying versus reports from the scene, really serves to pick me up, pat me on the head, and say "Cheer up, lil' buckaroo, everything's gonna be all right."

(also, it's arguable how useful getting cell service up is. in the long term, it's, of course, very important, but how many people do you think have non-dead cell phones down there?)
