Little Missy's Beauty and Fashion Myth Busters for Women

 

Essie Davis as Miss Fisher from Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries Proves Missy's Point

Myth Number One

A woman should always go with a lighter hair colour as she gets older.  A darker shade will age her.

Fact:  A woman can look quite washed out with pale blonde hair as she gets older.  If she wants to go darker, use Miss Fisher as an example and rock that dark bob.

 

Myth Number Two

As a woman ages, she needs a little more meat on her bones to make her face look more full and youthful.

Carmen Dell'Orefice

Fact: A hefty gal doesn't get around as quickly as a more slender gal.  Dispute this fact.

 

Myth Number Three

A party lifestyle destroys natural beauty

Fact: Kate Moss is but one example that this is not always true.

Little Missy Further Remarks:  Make hay while the sun shines

 

Myth Number Four

Rock and Roll Women Always End Up Looking Like Old Hags

Fact: Tina Turner says "Excuse me?"

Are you starting to follow me?

Myth Number Five:

Hit the gym at least three times a week
Fact:  Jane Fonda had a very complicated relation with her body and hitting the gym did little to help her self esteem.  Jane's story is enough for me.  Little Missy has never hit the gym and never intends to.

Myth Number Six:
French women know more about beauty and fashion than American women

Fact: Mireille Guliano's high handed book "French Women Don't Get Fat" gave the secret---subsist on watered down cabbage soup.  She stopped looking good to me once I got her secret.

Myth Number Seven:
Red lipstick is tricky to apply and wear

Fact: Who could ever forget Scarlett Johansson putting on her lipstick without a mirror in the brilliant movie "Lost in Translation"?

Little Missy realises that myth busting is not always easy to interpret, let alone assimilate into ones regime.  But for heaven's sake, make it a little more easy on yourselves!  Happy Spring!  And watch out for Men's Grooming and Lifestyle Myth Busters, coming soon!
