Back in the day, the official faces of benefit were sisters Jean as well as Jane Ford, the original founders, as well as this photo was taken at a benefit event in their Chestnut street store in San Francisco.
During the interview, Jean took a jar of loose shine as well as dabbed some on my lids with her fingers. then when the interview was done, she provided me the jar of shine to take home, as well as I stuck it in the pocket of the white coat I was wearing.
Side note: why did I own a white coat when I’m incapable of using white without getting it dirty??
