Hi, Michael!  Recently you wrote in a message to Alexander Koryagin:   
      
    MD>  Actors were put before actresses. It is sexism! :-)   
      
      
              The author put these words in alphabetical order.  So would I.    
   I've  do noticed people using "actor" to refer to both and I could write an   
   essay on the subject, but I'll leave it at that for now....  ;-)   
      
      
      
    AK>  What is a beauty sleep?   
      
    MD>  It's a sleep before midnight.   
      
      
              If you believe that you must be a "morning person".  As I   
   understand it, the idea is that people sleep most deeply during the first four   
   hours & all right-thinking people are in bed by 8:00 PM... [wry grin].   
      
      
      
    AK>  If the celebrities were sleeping how did they attend "the   
    AK>  clothes designers, hairdressers, beauticians, jewelers..."?   
      
    MD>  I may suggest that they spent very little time for a sleep,   
    MD>  just a beauty sleep, and most of the night they prepared   
    MD>  themselves for the event. Although for me it would sound   
    MD>  more natural if they did not sleep till early in the morning   
    MD>  in their preparations. So maybe there are other explanations.   
      
      
              I guess an afternoon or early evening nap could be described in   
   such a way... and the celebrities undoubtedly want to look their best, so they   
   might take a break as time allows.  What puzzles me, however, is why all these   
   people would be so busy on Friday e.g. when the event in question is scheduled   
   to take place on Saturday evening.  It seems to me the hairdo, makeup, and   
   flowers need to be as fresh as possible & might have to wait until the next   
   morning....  :-)
