That's a great idea - to just not worry about the rosacea being present for the TV appearance - your willingness to be "up front" about it may inspire someone else in some way. I love your attitude! Your statement about life not being a beauty pageant was quite apt....my attitude towards "all things beautiful" has changed SO MUCH as I've crept towards the "big 60"!

I'll be thinking about you on the 8th and knowing that you will be spectacular - even if you happen to have "overly pink" cheeks in front of the television cameras...you will be AWESOME.
