I'd love Meryl Streep and Judi Dench playing me, and lots of women inspire and influence me, starting with my Mom and including yourself, but I can't think of anyone to swap places with, even for a day... :) Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-77385408171461647292019-03-15T13:31:36.627+00:002019-03-15T13:31:36.627+00:00Thanks, Denise!!

She had long mascared lashes, bright pink lippy and the biggest, chunkiest gold and diamond ring I have every seen. She asked me why did I wear glasses, and that I looked so beautiful without them. I then spent the next five years wandering helplessly around, bumping into everything, squinting at everyone, but heavily mascared. In the end, after trying contacts, I gave up and went back to wearing specs. Didn't do me any harm, but I always remember her and her 'advice'. She was a very stylish lady.
