    Elegance and vintage

    I accept that not everyone is going to dress like me.and i don't think they should. It's just that for me, if i go out without taking the time to put myself together, i actually feel conspicuous. What does bother me though,is that there at least was a time, when people dressed for certain...

    Lipstick that stinks!

    In the "El Cheapo" category, Rimmel lipsticks are pretty tasty. I can't deal with the smell of Avon lipsticks though..and i have MANY. oh..but my favourite brand for scent free is Marcelle, although i think it's only available in Canada :(

    True or False: Red Lipstick Ages Women Over 40?

    I agree that it really depends on the individual. I'm 42 and wear red.I actually find pale lipstick just makes me look tired and actually ages me. I will say however, that i need to buy better lipstick now, something moisturizing, or else my lips look too dry, and that's a look that's aging...

    My stylist is wonderfully responsive..and will do whatever i say...eventually.:D He will always say something like,"i think that will look wonderful on you" initially, then make some chatter and a few cautious snips, and then say at least 14 times.."ok, so before i go any further, are you SURE...

    Twitter?

    To Twitter or not to Twitter is not MY question...where are people finding time for all this???
