Spot on, as usual. You write that some people "think beauty has no place in intellectualism" - along those lines, they don't think it belongs in museums or academia either. To them, beauty (especially the category of makeup) is frivolous, not worthy of serious consideration. I'm glad you're here to set the story straight!! And I simply cannot wait for your book, I have pre-ordered!
