For something like breast cancer - I would definitely want to get the testing done (and I may at some point - both my grandmothers and an aunt had breast cancer, but all post menopausal which lowers my risk a bit). On the other hand, something like the genetic testing they have for early onset alzheimers....I don't know. Would you want to kow you are high risk for something that is incurable? Breast cancer you can do something preventative, if need be. Some of the other genetic testing out there I think is a stickier situation.
Oh, and I am in the "booze is necessary at a wedding" camp. I went to 3 weddings while pregnant and oh my lord I was bored.
But the Duggars drank the Gothard koolaid. It's funny, no dancing, no kissing until they are married, no pants, no alcohol but let's whore out our children for fame and fortune. Oh and don't forget the sideways hugs and hand sex.
Jolie and Pitt have the best publicist in the biz. I'm not saying that Angie isn't a good person, but so much of what they do is communicated at very strategic times and their publicist really knows how to work it to make it all seem natural.
True...but if the public didn't eat it up like it was whipped gold, the over emphasis wouldn't matter and maybe not even happen.
I just more meant the fact that Christina Applegate got very little coverage. And it's not just Jolie/Pitt, look at Blake Lively. She's a nobody but her publicist really made it look like people gave a shit about her. I use past-tense because I haven't followed celeb news since A was born so I don't know what her image is currently.
I got one that people might not like. I think that if you work in a professional corporate office, you should wear make-up to work. I think it's unprofessional not to look put together.
I find this to be really...gross.You judge a woman's professional capabilities on make up? I'm fine with this if the men are held to the same standards. Oh wait! Men are good enough as they are. We should work harder to set ourselves apart in male dominated industries, accept less pay, and spend exponentially more time and money on our physical appearances.
I'd pick the standard of having to wear makup over the standard of having to shave my face every morning!
Because I'm pretty sure my husband wouldn't function well in a coporate office.

Oh, And I really dislike Angelina Jolie. Yes Brad Pitt gets blame, but she ALSO broke up Billy Bob's marriage to Laura Dern (and I think maybe another relationship/marriage prior to that). She has a pattern of becoming involved with married men. Plus she went from wearing a vial of blood around her neck, talking vulgarly in interviews about having sex in the car on the way over, and generally being creepy/wack-a-do to suddenly being this global ambassador of everything. I don't buy it.
I can never not wear makeup to work, I just look really tired, and not good. I wear eyeliner, eyeshadow, and mascara whenever I leave the house. It takes me like 2 minutes to do it so it's not a big deal.
I hate weddings with no alcohol, everyone just stands around, nobody wants to dance, and everyone goes home early.
I also had plenty of drinks at Macy's bday party, we had beer, margaritas, wine coolers, and we actually made some mixed drinks. It's not like everyone's getting wasted but people enjoy a drink or two.

I think its a necessity to have drinks at a wedding. Its a party! A celebration! I may or may not have gone to a wedding where there was no alcohol and made my DH go to the liquor store so we could get drunk in the parking lot. One of my proudest moments.
The first thing I do is find my seat and then hightail it to the bar. If its packed, we get a double so we dont have to wait in line, drinkless. A wedding without alcohol is like a cake without frosting.

For Alzheimers there is actually an oral med that can keep the worst at bay if you spot it early enough. There are also a lot of treatments to keep the effects from getting worse. I'd want to know. Having a surprise medical issue is scary. Although it is still a surprise, it can be prepared for.

It's my opinion. I don't consider it "gross". And yes, I do think men should be held to similar standards regarding appearance in the office. They should look professional and put together. They should have their hair fixed and not come to work with "scruff" and needing to shave. They should have their shirts tucked in. It is not a double standard, EVERYONE should look professional and put together at work.

But see, you did say that days you were meeting with Clients that you did do your hair and make-up. Some people do look fine without it. I am not one of those people.
Yes. Absolutely when I met with clients. There were even skirt suits involved.
But those non client days were bad. Really bad. Like, sometimes I would have slightly damp shoulders bad.

I don't think she said she judges a persons professional capabilities if they don't wear makeup. She said it looks unprofessional. I have seen people look unprofessional without makeup or with too much makeup. I have also seen people look professional with no makeup on. I try not to judge based on appearances but in corporate America it is helpful to your career to appear put together. For men and women.
I don't think what I said makes much sense, I am just trying to say I think it is possible to think a person looks unprofessional while still respecting their work abilities and other aspects of professionalism.

I think my issue with this is that your version of put together requires make up. Yes, men and women should all be neatly dressed and well groomed, (and maybe beards in offices are more acceptable in Portland?) but why do women have to paint their faces to be on the same level as men who don't have to paint their faces?

But why do we have to wear make up?
You don't have to. It is my opinion that MOST people look better with it. Show me someone, anyone, that does not look better with a little bit of make-up. I'm not talking a full face of make-up. I'm talking about a little concealer to cover dark eye circles or whatever and a little mascara. I think people should strive to look their best in a corporate setting. Men and women.

I feel the same re: genetic testing for diseases with no treatment/cure. My grandmother died of a very rare neurodegenerative disorder that has no treatment/cure. There is a (small) possibility that I carry a gene that causes the disease, but I don't want to know. What's the point if there is nothing to be done?
Weddings- We had a toonie bar (thats 2 dollar bar for you non Canadians). The reason being is simple. We were told by our establishment that if someone drove home drunk, got into an accident... if we had an open bar, we would be the responsible ones. As soon as you make the guest pay something, even 5 cents, they are responsible and the blame wont end up on your shoulders.
Makeup- I do this professionally. I dont wear it everyday. Unless I am working as a MAKEUP artist, I am almost makeup free. When I worked in film, I worked 15+ hour days everyday. The last thing I worried about was putting makeup on me. I was lucky to have an 8 hour turn around between days and in that 8 hours I had to drive home, sleep, shower, get ready for work and be back at work by the time the 8 hours was up. The last thing I want to do is spend extra time on my face. I can use the extra time on the actors face instead. So as a makeup artist working on set... I would have the basics on. Thats it. I was hired for my talent, not my face.
Cancer- I would 110% get preventative surgeries if I knew that I was susceptible to having cancer in my lifetime. I want to see my child grow old. I want to meet my grandchildren.
