Hi, Michael!  Recently you wrote in a message to Alexander Koryagin:

 MD>  Actors were put before actresses. It is sexism! :-)


           The author put these words in alphabetical order.  So would I.  I've 
 do noticed people using "actor" to refer to both and I could write an essay on 
the subject, but I'll leave it at that for now....  ;-)



 AK>  What is a beauty sleep?

 MD>  It's a sleep before midnight.


           If you believe that you must be a "morning person".  As I understand 
it, the idea is that people sleep most deeply during the first four hours & all 
right-thinking people are in bed by 8:00 PM... [wry grin].



 AK>  If the celebrities were sleeping how did they attend "the
 AK>  clothes designers, hairdressers, beauticians, jewelers..."?

 MD>  I may suggest that they spent very little time for a sleep,
 MD>  just a beauty sleep, and most of the night they prepared
 MD>  themselves for the event. Although for me it would sound
 MD>  more natural if they did not sleep till early in the morning
 MD>  in their preparations. So maybe there are other explanations.


           I guess an afternoon or early evening nap could be described in such 
a way... and the celebrities undoubtedly want to look their best, so they might 
take a break as time allows.  What puzzles me, however, is why all these people 
would be so busy on Friday e.g. when the event in question is scheduled to take 
place on Saturday evening.  It seems to me the hairdo, makeup, and flowers need 
to be as fresh as possible & might have to wait until the next morning....  :-)
