The economy's in a slump, and so are a lot of S.F. politicians. At least for the pols, Brow Set seems to be part of the answer.

Chu knows why.

"Maybe he should try a haircut change to project a serious image. People would take him more seriously. His hair now looks too look soft and wavy. Again, if you want to be taken more seriously, you've got to go for the polish. He might want to try to look a little bit more like Brad Pitt. Pitt has a clean-cut look, like most Hollywood stars," Chu notes, adding an important proviso. Sandoval needs to do a better job of shaving. "He should be using shaving cream with wintergreento get a nice, close shave. I'd definitely use some eye creamto de-puff the eyes. It has caffeine powderin it that takes the swelling down."

Oddly, Tony Hall is at once the city's most unusual supervisor, and the most conservative. Hall was the only man to vote against turning San Francisco into a marijuana sanctuary. He's focused significant legislative energy on the issues of golf and horseback riding. Hall drives to work in a solid-white mail-delivery Jeep. And he's a wedding singer on the side.

Chu says Hall's quirky showman's instincts could guide him to the top -- if they were accompanied with the right beauty products.

"If he's singing all the time, his lips will get chapped, so he needs some moisturizer there. And to give him some color while he's performing, particularly when maybe he's feeling a little sallow, he should just dust on some of that Bronzing Powder we have. I would use Oil Control Lotionand Blotting Powder-- that's to control the shine during photography. I'd probably put some gelin his hair to give him that Hollywood look," Chu says before pausing to reconsider. "Hmm. Maybe not gel, but maybe use a little bit of hair productto stiffen it."
