o gawd yes absolutely.
Booze, rage and a shitload of money is what happened to that face.
They always seem to have that same “look.”

I agree and I think that part of the problem is the delusional perceptions people cherish about creativity. We want to believe that talent is magic, rather than something that grows and develops and matures with experience. We’d rather hire a 19 y/o magically writing like a seasoned 32 y/o, than an actual 32 y/o with…
As the discreet owner of a $100 Billion* company, I am dismayed by this petty one-upmanship displayed by my peers, Pat and Kylie. Can’t we billionaires all just get along?

They even state that sales have gone down since the brand launched, so I’m not sure how they got the $900 million figure. It’s probably the figure Kris gave them.
I suspect that part of the mystique of Kylie Cosmetics is the fact that the company doing all the work to produce these products is entirely hidden; one gets the impression that all one need do is sit around in one’s bedroom taking selfies and playing with colour wands and... voila! An $800 million company is…
