Hillary Clinton

I hadn't seen it either, until just lately.

I really love how Hillary, and Oprah too, have chosen NOT to have any "work" done. Hey, if the 20-times-over Most Admired Woman in the World and the most illustrious television mogul ever can go into old age naturally, I see no reason why the rest of us can't do it, too!

Besides, having "work" done costs a lot of money! And it's not over even when the surgery's over. You have to keep going back and retouching as the years go by and gravity keeps overriding anything your surgeon tried to do. And that costs more money. And hey, if I'm gonna splurge, I'm gonna do it in other ways - ways that keep. Besides, in that regard, I'm pretty much a cheapskate. THIS is what I've got, for better or worse. And THIS is what I'll die with.

Reminds me of an early book written by Barbara Walters: "How To Talk To Practically Anybody About Practically Anything." (I love her, too!) She passed along some very practical advice that she got from one of her girlfriends - to apply to any new situation or, in her case, a new interview subject or a meeting with some new VIP: Look yourself in the mirror when you're getting yourself ready, and tell yourself "I am the way I am. I look the way I look. I am my age."

Can't remember how many times I kept that in the back of my mind - on too many occasions! It always helped. I'm certainly no Beyonce or Blake Lively. Never was, when I was their age. And I won't ever be! I'm content with what and who I am. There's kinda no way around it, anyway, so screw it! What's the point of not being so?
