Oh, how I miss Sarah Haskins!!

Even when Erin makes good points, she just doesn't deliver them well, and she seems like she's trying too hard.

For comparison, here's Sarah on the same subject:

I'm amused by the creative language in cosmetic commercials.  Is 'regenerist' a word?  Put 'hydra' in front anything or use 'clinical' or a number of other fancy words.  'Definity'.  Too funny. 
 
But, it's really no different than what advertisers do with laundry detergent or gasoline.  How many additive have they put in your gasoline over the years that seem to no longer be advertised after a year or two?  What?  Did they take it out?  Wasn't it working?

I miss Sarah Haskins' "Target Women." If you haven't seen her, google her. I can't believe they replaced her with this gal.
