Pity the poor colorist who spends his daylight hours listening to women complain about how the color of their hair stops them from playing the role of seductress and instead leaves them feeling more like a dowdy old spinster.

Do you feel more beautiful now than you did when you were, say, in your twenties? Sharon Stone thinks so…with a little help from Christian Dior’s Capture Totale. I’d say it has more to do with the money she pocketed for this ad in order to buy the $125 anti-aging serum from Dior. Who comes [...]

Beauty has a price…about $15.8 billion worth. It’s nice to see everyone “nourishing” their complexions despite the complications of the world at large. Beauty before poverty may as well be the mantra of the Baby Boomer generation.
