You can tell it’s winter in New York just by watching the 9 o’clock hour on MSNBC.

In an effort to keep that summer look, the female anchors have more and more fake tan and bronzing makeup plastered upon their faces, almost to the point that they look like reverse clowns.

As it gets colder and as the sun makes less-frequent appearances, the faces of anchors like Contessa Brewer and Mika Brzezinski grow more and more orangey, while their eyes seem, in contrast, to glow whiter and whiter.

Certainly I’m not the only one who notices this.
