I've been beautiful for most of my life. I can assure you it's overrated. More to the point, people never see the you inside you. They only look at the shell. It is most irriating and distressing.

I'm all for the emphasis on advertising and movies refleting the real diversity in the human species, but I think we do hav to be honest about the issues.

And, yes, I wear a mask - double mask - whenever I go out. No more need for lipstick. :)
