Dear Jan,

Do you have any quick beauty secrets? I want to submit a picture to a public site.

My Dear Franca,

MY PERSONAL SECRET: Obviously, make sure the photos you display on blogs and web sites are twenty years old. Since everything is relative, I found posing with dead scientists and statesmen a boost.

THE EMMIS: A smile - so simple - A SMILE truly connects humans. With an actual interest and caring attitude, you will reflect both your and their own sense of worth and attractiveness. Try it for a week and let me know. I also use Oil of Olay.
