A growing number of men are working for the cosmetics company, which is working to broaden its appeal.

Rumor has it they’re secretly working on an anti-aging cream that comes in the colors of every NFL team, so guys can show their spirit while protecting their youthful skin from wrinkles.

Speaking of football, our undefeated season came crashing down last week, but we’re still 9-2 against the spread. Speaking of crashing down, the UW is back in action today against heavily favored USC. It’s a bad sign when the home fans are praying for a downpour to help keep it close. We’ll take USC -21.

Meanwhile, the Cougars travel to Arizona after getting blasted by Southern Cal. The WSU Web site brags that the Cougs “kept the score close against USC in the first quarter.” Um, don’t they start the game tied? Arizona -2.

Then on Sunday, the Seahawks travel to San Francisco to battle for first place. On the 49ers’ Web site, cornerback Nate Clements breaks down the keys to the game, saying, “We’ve got to play four quarters.” Obviously, the Niners have this thing all figured out. San Francisco +2.
