That Southern California has its own cougar community, and now, a cougar convention isn't that much of a surprise to us. But what is, kind of, is that it's being sponsored by a cosmetics company that offers a special Cougar Kit that includes lots of tans and golds. The kit even comes with a free mirrored makeup bag! That this exists should be a welcome relief from all the cosmetic companies that push women to look positively embryonic, but somehow, it just isn't. [Racked Inbox]
