As I approach 50, I realise no one should criticise someone for face lifts et al. BAD, OTT plastic surgery, ok, but not simple stuff to feel a little less invisible every morning.

oh my. She has way too much Botox in her forehead.

get tested for histamine intolerance, source of so many skin sensitivities. Suffered my while life, got tested and now have amazing skin!

I had terrible skin my whole life. The less makeup I wore and the more organic everything I ate and put in me, the better my skin got. But almost 50 and my skin is better than ever. virgin coconut oil to remove makeup and plaun old honey to wash the face. Ammmmmaaaazzzing.

See, I feel totally differently. I am very athletic and no idiot was ever going to keep me from the free weight room. I kept going and going and ignoring most of the guys (except for the true gentlemen). I can confidently say that I scare the hell out of most men there. Not only am I very strong and fast, but my face…

Hahaha! Totally. I look at the kids half my age sweatin' and complain' and I be like, "you ain't seen nothin' yet. Get kids, mortgage, dying parents, yadayada....then come back to me."

Lots of them recently. Dumb white men need a lot of convincing.

The thing is, as a businesswoman, I find it much easier to get taken seriously in Italy than in many countries.

Come to Germany and you will think that women runs France in comparison. Effing dying over here...

35 hours a week if you are not experienced or managerial level. "Cadre" means you work as much as anyone in NYC.

Hahahahaha. Could you call my boss and tell her? In fact, could you inform Parisian bosses in general because me and my friends work about 65 hours a week and I have to scream, cry and manipulate to get a day off.

Really? And if governments don't track and monitor birthrates, who is going to pay for your pension in your old age???? Immigration rates in Europe are tightly linked to birthrates because MATH. It isn't beung judgemental, it's makung sure that the system keeps functionung.

I have lived in almost all the Westetn Euorpean countries. For me, the best countries as a working woman are Italy and France. The worst is Germany, by far. I am a native Swede, BTW. Interestingly, I just read an EU report on women in boardrooms and France and Italy score the best. Germany the worst and Sweden....not…

Normally the problem doesn't start til later in life, that is why it is called preventative medicine. Check back in when you are 55.

I worked in the design studios of two of the biggest houses in Paris. The runway pieces are practically glued together at the last minute and are a size 36. depending on the piece, they are mostly fit on a mannequin with a fit model coming in sometimes for a run thru. The runway models come in a few days before the…

I had bulimia for 25 years and no doctor ever guessed....

The fit models are the heaviest. High end runway and print demand much more skinny.

Everything is negotiable if his passport and driver's licence match.
