proactiv peeps

Every so often I get a little overzealous with my Proactiv and run out of the cleanser before my next batch arrives; this happened recently, and so I've been using some random Neutrogena scrub, which was probably the cause of my breakouts. I used my Proactiv again tonight and my skin does feel different - the thing is, when I was using the cleanser, it felt different. Not as gritty, as if they'd made the grit they put in it finer or something. But that may simply be because the grit in the Neutrogena scrub was huge.

Random note: It literally took me like fifteen minutes to come up with the term "gritty" which I'm still not completely satisfied, but is better than the next-best-thing I'd come up with, which was, "those small rocky things in the cleanser that probably don't do anything but at least give the illusion of exfoliating."

Anyway, my question is, for any of you out there who use Proactiv: Did the formula change at all? Or is it just me?

Randomly again: If you get the chance, I recommend checking out Troop 1500 on PBS. It's a documentary about a Girl Scout troop made up of girls whose mothers are in prison, and it was really excellent. I really want to know more about the girls and their mothers, but I can't get any concrete information anywhere. Also, I came in late to watching it, so I missed finding out why one of the mothers was in jail, the one who was in there for (by my caculation) at least twenty more years. What did she do? Did anyone else watch?

Hello! You are talking to the girl who taped High School Musical. It is rare that I watch something I'm proud of discussing openly in mixed company.

(Also, what did you find out? Were any girls successful? I think one of them might have shown up on Project Runway this season, but I'm not sure.)

All the winners are pretty lame -- Adrianne went on to "The Surreal Life" and later married the guy who played Peter Brady; she's currently shooting print ads for a Beverly Hills motorcycle shop. Yoanna hosts "The Look for Less" on the Style channel, has appeared in Jane magazine, and modeled for designer Sue Wong. Naima modeled for Wal-Mart and designer Christopher Deane at Fashion Week, filmed an appearance on Veronica Mars and handed out trophies at the Emmys. Eva had a Cover Girl contract, a runway gig for designer Marc Bouwer, and a recurring role on Kevin Hill, as well as a couple of movie roles and an opportunity to model for Wal-Mart during Fashion Week. None of them really seem to be setting the modeling world on fire. I'm beginning to think Tyra picks the wrong people, just so the top model pool won't be shaken up and she can continue her reign of terror. To add insult to injury, according to the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/06/fashion/sundaystyles/06model.html?ex=1288933200&en=16c889cec11d73e7&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss), Americans just aren't becoming top models these days. The good news? Elyse, the former almost-med student is apparently having the most success, and is currently based in Hong Kong.
