gets gracefully heavy powder
Aging gracefully is about no heavy makeup, and not too much powder because it gets into the wrinkles, and, you know, to not get turtle eyelids and to not try to look young.
design
Fashion and interior design are one and the same.
age ball certain grim mean number roll stop using wait
Just because you get to a certain number doesn't mean you have to roll up into a ball and wait for the grim reaper. We were put on this earth to do something! If you stop using your brain, at any age, it is going to stop working. It's like if you stop using your hand, it will atrophy. I think doing nothing is a curse.
approve burned chop few god good happen looking might nose people picasso pinocchio plastic reasons surgeons
I don't happen to approve of plastic surgery. I think God put plastic surgeons on this earth for good reasons - people get burned or people might have a nose like Pinocchio and that has to be fixed. But to just chop yourself up to look a few years younger? You could come out looking like a Picasso picture.
born opera work
You can be born with the talent to be an opera star, but you've got to work and practice it.
The White House is the people's house. When you do historical restoration, that must be what it is.
technology violently
Technology is a wonderful thing, but I think it's violently misused.
god oh
Oh my God, I'm a walking advertisement for discounted shopping.
It's better to be happy than to be well-dressed.
people
I've always loved to help people, young people in particular.
I'm not a collector of clothes. I've got clothes to wear.
liked looked
I was never a fan of Chanel. I liked it on other people. Some other people. All the ladies who were too plump and busty looked like little sausages.
wore
I still have the dress I wore on the first date with my husband, which was more than 66 years ago. I still have it, and it still fits.
standard
I get very involved with my things, and they are not standard equipment.
