best looks worst
Sometimes, when you go to airport and look at the people, you see the worst looks - but the worst looks can give you more ideas than the best looks.

The Russians are very much more up and down than the French.
extreme russians time
The Russians are extreme people: they are generous but crazy at the same time. They always have something to say, and I really like that.
people
People say I look like my father. My son is very much like him.
bit good mom
Sometimes you think you aren't a good mama; you always feel a bit guilty when you're a mom. You want to be everywhere.
dress fashion makeup needs vice wear work
To me, makeup is fashion and vice versa. What I dress and what I wear always needs to work with my makeup, which is usually the same anyway.
