My company, The Financial 411, and last name --- are similar to the person she was referring to: Teresa Morisco of Wardrobe911.com. Bottom line: I didn't go gray, but I love the woman's photo nonetheless.Teresa Dentinohttp://www.thefinancial411.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-74993318145357509632009-02-07T09:30:00.000-05:002009-02-07T09:30:00.000-05:00Wendy: Guessing I'm close to her age (60) and have...Wendy: Guessing I'm close to her age (60) and have fewer lines than she- and nothing done at all. ike you I attribute this to genes. tWomen are taught to be averse to their lines and wrinkles, one more way to profit from insecurity and fear.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-21400714128791433202009-02-06T09:54:00.000-05:002009-02-06T09:54:00.000-05:00I zoomed in too, and sorry, but I think she did so...I zoomed in too, and sorry, but I think she did something with a light touch!

I often wonder what it is that some women look beautiful with gray and some just look old. Maybe it is the shade, and their skin tone?
