Huge congratulations on your book deal. I had to look up pre-empt because I’m not in the biz. I now know that’s very good.

Yes to saying NO.

Do use Botox if you feel like it, and can afford it, though I do like laugh lines and so on. I’m looking to age like Helen Mirren and Judy Dench rather than Nicole Kidman, with no offense to NK. I like some proof of past dramatic experiences. Why is this controversial? Women have thinner skin than men, but are criticized for looking old. A lot of people doing the disparaging get Botox. I can tell because their indications of disapproval include no brow crinkles. My dermatologist had me try Botox in my 40s. I had no wrinkles. (Good genes.) It was supposed to prevent them from forming. With a full dose, my face was too stilled; and the drug initially made it hard for me to swallow because I’m allergic to too much at a time. Baby Botox by an artistic hand is a good solution.

My workaround to endless birth year scrolls? I pick random younger years, but try to remain over 21. (Unless claiming a younger birth year will land me in federal prison. Me not being above the law in a Bannon sense.)

Please provide Gin & Tunics ingredients. Same as classic but while wearing a tunic? A tiny tunic instead of an umbrella?
