Here in America, you accept the best version of yourself. In France, it’s like, this is the way I am. Me, without artifice. If you don’t like it, too bad for you.

I try to re-own superficial, the word. It's my favorite word. The point of superficial is the surface, it washes off. Beauty is a temporary condition. You can decide to be beautiful, you can be beautiful on your own terms. Beautiful does not mean you have to do the serum, the eye cream, the mask, the massage, who fucking cares. Just eat well and get laid and it'll show, and if you want to put something on top we can do that. Superficial is a very important useful word.

When you were in the R29 office, a few women said they hoped to age as gracefully as you have. So, what's your secret?
"Everyone wants to know that life gets better and not worse. We would like to know we get better as time goes by. And, we can. I have come to the full realization that all of life is fun, adventurous, challenging — not just the first 30 years.
I have thrown out the old paradigm of life looking like a mountain, with an imaginary peak they call the 'prime of life.' There is no such thing. Every second of your life is the prime of your life. Right now. And now. If you take care of your body and live for pleasure rather than success, (which lowers the stress in your body and mind) and learn to trust the universe, you will carry yourself with ease and joy.
I do not accept my age — I celebrate it! I wear my wrinkles, silver hair, and age spots as medals of honor. Life and beauty is all what you make it. That is what attractiveness and aging gracefully is all about. Enjoy it!" (via Cindy Joseph Model - Pictures, Interview)
It's a little hokey, but you know what? Clearly it's working for her.

When I was still at my old job, I used to wake up (slowly, with much difficulty) in the morning--after getting maybe six hours of sleep if I was lucky, preparing to head into another 12-hour day of work--and recoil from my own appearance. Who is that sad, old hag with sallow skin and tired eyes in the mirror killing my vibe? Christ.

I did something! How to look absolutely divine and regal, and yet at the same time very pretty and rather accessible. (via Make Yourself Up Like The Most Underrated Elizabeth: Queenie From Blackadder | xoVain)

I could watch Sali Hughes talk feminism, puffins as beauty icons, and black eyeliner induced eye snot with Caitlin Moran all day long. Happily, there's an upcoming Part 2.
I have what I believe are inappropriately strong feelings
about how I haven't polished my nails in at LEAST a month and a half.

A bit worried that this is going to be one in a series.
Yeah, you should probably read this.
