KIM JOHNSON GROSS can ADVISE YOU ON DRESSING STYLISHLY AS YOU AGE

Missy here: I'm linking to the web site of KIM JOHNSTON GROSS, whose book "What To Wear For The Rest of Your Life" (Ageless Secrets of Style) is my personal recommendation for you mistresses who need to learn to AGE GRACEFULLY.

"As our bodies and lives transition, many of us lack the style-confidence or know-how to rethink, redefine and re-imagine our self-image. Even as a style expert, I know how easy it is to get stuck in old style notions that no longer work as well as they once did."

We've been reading Leslie's story about becoming first one of the worlds most beautiful women and beauty pageant winners to an abused mistress. We're thinking about aging and competition here (though some mistresses never face that problem because they move on into marriage or another loving relationship or are treated well and have a life-long romance with a man they share with his wife or another woman.)

AGING GRACEFULLY by self acknowledging your body changes is what KIM JOHNSON GROSS' book is all about.

I HAVE ANOTHER REASON I WANT TO RECOMMEND HER ADVISE TO YOU. You see, your years as a mistress and buying clothing that you might not be able to afford on your own salary may be limited, but that doesn't mean you can't be financially sound through INVESTMENT. And investing in yourself - getting your teeth straightened, having a beautiful wardrobe that will last past those years is a really good idea!

So take a look at this site and KIM's book!

ALONE FOR THANKSGIVING? DON'T YOU BE! (UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE!)

Are you by any chance ALONE for Thanksgiving? This is the All-American family holiday in the United States, celebrated by people of all religions, and so it's one of the most likely times a mistress will find herself alone, or at least without a visit from her man.

And your friends? Is it that NO ONE has invited you to their table?

How could this happen?

Easily enough!

It's happened to me! Some people just never think of their single friends when it comes to family holidays.

So we are going to make the BEST OF IT!
Put on some music - good music - and make yourself an elegant meal. It does not have to be a WHOLE TURKEY, OK? TURKEY BURRITOS will do! And wine? A glass - not the whole bottle.

OR BETTER YET, get yourself involved now in charitable work, perhaps serving food to the HOMELESS at your local shelter. This will help you keep your perspective!
Yours,

Missy

MISSY ASKS YOU : HAS BEING A MISTRESS DRIVEN YOU TO DRINK ?

... I don't mean a glass of wine or two with dinner. I mean alcoholic!

DECLARATION FOR MISTRESSES - Aging Gracefully

"I will dress and make-up in an age-appropriate way."  

Missy here! This is a hard one for many women, because there is so much emphasis on youth in our culture. It's not easy for all of us to understand our looks, or be able to count on an outside opinion; certainly not all those salesclerks in stores tell us the truth; they too often just want their commissions.

Never the less, a woman who is trying too hard to look younger than she is, simply looks ridiculous and is fooling no-one. Age gracefully!
