Default Why do all the GAs have

helmet hair? I blame Elder Ballard for starting the hairspray downpour, but this past conference was especially striking how helmety all the hair looked. Also, did you notice that they all had make-up (foundation) on their foreheads?

This is consistent with the new photos for the apostles, which are so photoshopped they'd make Cosmo proud.

I don't like these developments.

I didnt watch conference, so I didnt notice.

Yet another advantage to reading the talks.

Nice try, paduwan.

You can't show up today trying to be rebellious. You already staked out your post-conference territory, and it was in the safe, "I watched all of conference" corner of the room.

Go back to the other side of the fence, poser. We are genuine Conference skippers. We don't need your kind over here.

I did watch conference. Just watched the Cowboys at the same time. To the great annoyance of my father.

Talk to me when you are ready to act like a man and completely skip a session to watch football. None of this PIP crap.

I also watched almost all of Sat. Growing up, I NEVER watched conference on Sat.

I've already been down the road of conference skipping. I am reformed.

Truthfully, I am just jealous of your self-discipline and dedication.

My Saturday conference protocol (passed down from my father) is to listen to it on KSL while working in the garage or in the yard. You're really not listening or getting anything out of it, but at least it's on and you're covered to some degree.

Any speaker in General Conference (man or women) gets makeup applied by a professional makeup person before the session. Given the fact that conference is now broadcast in HD, I can't say I blame them. Without makeup, HD would show off every every wart, blotch, and zit on their face.
