A battle with war paint.
By Sue Langenberg
<“Oh, she’s putting on her war paint,” a spouse might hum drum on the phone about an update to her whereabouts. A female friend might say, “She’s beautifying herself right now.”

About the Author: Sue Langenberg
Sue Langenberg’s “Hot Flashes” column was born at weekly publication Freeport iNK, (now defunct) in Northern Illinois. It followed her B.A. from Northern Illinois University, class of ’98. It was the year that they let hags out! The iNK column began at her keyboard whenever she had some imaginary bone to pick about life or a typing tantrum to feel better. Along the way, the paper also published her theatre/cultural submissions and various other assignments.
