But, I have meet one Chinese women in her 30's who dress like she's 19, and married my cousin's ex-BF, who was in his mid 20's. She could actually pull it off too. Exceptions are not the norm, of course.
"There are no ugly women, just lazy ones." - Helena Rubinstein, quoted in he article you linked.
Yup.
Had a Western Armenian gf who was like this. In pics with her son people thought she was his gf. (This is not typical of old country Armenian women, who often let themselves go after marriage, as divorce is out of the question.) Yes it took products - she was a committed Mary Kay rep. And the motivation came from inside. She loved being a girl.
I hate it when a women in America, immigrant or local, announces that she doesn't "wear makeup" or "use anything". I think: "No wonder you look like that."
This truth is not really unfair to women. Someone once said that after age 50, any man is responsible for his face. I.e. masculine character, virtue, honor etc begin to show, and replace the childish appeal of youth in man.
And if a woman likes being a girl, she can choose to look like one.
