• What sort of sap doesn't know by now that picture-perfect beauty is all done with smoke and mirrors anyway?
• Shame, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder.
• The truth of the matter is, beauty is a specific thing, rare and fleeting. Some of us have it in our teens, 20s and 30s and then lose it most of us have it not at all. And that's perfectly okay.

• My dad didn't drive - the only dad I knew who didn't.
• When I moved out of London 13 years ago, I found a whole other reason not to drive. This was because my new husband Dan, unlike my dad, did drive, and this became a great source of fun and adventure.
