This editorial is dedicated to the dear memory of Florian Weighardt - our friend and colleague - who would always take his job with passion, energy, enthusiasm, in a strongly cooperative and helpful attitude as well as with his own very nice and friendly sense of humour. He was a real professional. We will miss him.

And some years later, Queen Victoria publicly declared makeup to be improper, vulgar and acceptable only for use by actors.
