That is so true. Every magazine has stars on the cover rather than models Magazines stopped featuring supermodels sometime in the 1990s.

With the modeling part, I understood why she lied about her age. The entertainment industry is so weird when it comes to age for women but men be crippled and still allowed to do whatever. I know it stopped me from getting back into it as an adult because I just turned 27 but on a normal day, I look like a highschooler. Her fashion sense were *chefs kiss*

[@mochalattemiss]

My young sistah…please! You are so good at what you do. It is critical that you learn to say (correctly) the names of places, publications, and people from the past. Capote is said: “Cah-POE-Tee”. Paris Match is pronounce “PaREE Match”. Before you do a video, ask about the pronunciations of these unfamiliar names, and even if you think that you can say them, ask anyway.

[@lyndaherrera277]

Also, work on your diction. 💜

[@tooma4886]

I was so interested in her content, but I couldn't even make it through her second video because her elocution is so poor. This is caused by what I call, "Lazy Lips." If you don't use your lips and move your mouth to correctly pronounce a word, then why bother? The end result is unprofessional.

[@valeriebelinga6558]

C’est un détail inutile

[@megatarzan2012]

Her youtube channel is a success i dont think she needs any critique advice from you especially if she aint ask! If people want the correct pronunciation, google is FREE. Imagine putting in a lot of work and effort in a video and upload it and then someone got the nerve to point out tiny mistakes, the pronunciation is definitely not critical here whats important is that she informed us about the background story of this woman. Thats it! Now go on your merry little way mam.

Very reckless and crazy life. She seemed to always bounce back through and ended up in a very affluent lifestyle at the end of her life despite her shenanigans. Pound ridge, her final home, is uber wealthy so she surely found some security and lived to a ripe old age. My feelings regarding her mothering are not sympathetic so I won't touch on that but suffice it to say she was not cut out for motherhood.

You're wrong. Even Victorians edited their photographs. And before photography was a thing, the "Photoshop" was done by the painter... Notice how "everyone" had clear skin back then?

She was full of regrets about how she had lived and said that she had made "Mother of the Year" once and how she didn't deserve it. You could see her remorse for not having been a good mother.
