...Kathryn Prickett, 18, a freshman at New York University, knows how seductive makeup can be. So when she saw an ad on MTV in August announcing Mark, Avon's new brand of cosmetics, she signed on as one of the line's reps.

This may be because it contradicts the classic (and largely accurate) deaf model for misfortune--that it emanates from the hearing world. Says the publicity office's Prickett: "Most of the stories that get passed around are about a deaf person being hurt by misunderstanding or ignorance on the part of a hearing person. That's what made these murders so shocking, and that's what will take some digesting--that it's not only them...
