BEWARE SHE HAS A SELFIE STICK AND IS ON THE GO WITH IT!In another WORLD she is known as THEIR FAIRY GODMOTHER!
Look at Me Look at Me!
Maybe a little MORE to the Right!BUT do LOOK at my ARMANDI Clematis!
AT what AGE did YOUR lipstick start to BLEED?I feel I am a BIT Too YOUNG for this to be happening!
Wish I had that lipstick UNDER control!
More PHOTOS.
Shows MY great FAKE PEARL collection.
THE REAL ME…….withOUT the HEADBAND that SCREAMS SPRING!
Off to EXERCISE but had to show YOU my new HEADBANDS!
It was COLD outside so I wrapped up in a STOLE that THE BASKETBALL LADY gave ME!Don’t you LOVE how I give MY FRIENDS NEW NAMES?
This has GOT to be the BEST PHOTO ever of MY EYES!TO THINK I took it with MY SELFIE WAND!
I do not THINK about COLORS……….REALLY!This JUST HAPPENS!
LOADS of TRIBUTARIES HERE on LA FACE!
SMALL EYES………I am NOT complaining I am OBSERVING!
The rocks around my neck could fill the TRIBUTARIES!
I am doing this for a VISUAL as I want to SEE the changes that take PLACE within the coming YEAR!All of a sudden I have NOTICED a SHIFT.
Don’t get me WRONG.
I adore MY GREY FLECKS of hair.
The wrinkles around MY eyes ADD to ME , MYSELF and I.
I could DO withOUT the lipstick BLEEDING, but I can live with that.I have dealt with MY share of PAIN and DISAPPOINTMENT.
I recently LEARNED the SECRET of a lip liner and COLORING IN YOUR LIP area first!
I also NOTE. Out of ALL my LIPSTICKS and I have way TOO many…….WELL, NOT as many as MY DEAR FRIEND SANDRA, but I do have a FEW!
That ESTEE LAUDER of ALL brands tends NOT to BLEED on ME!I wonder if WE have ESTEE to THANK for that or HER gorgeous GRANDDAUGHTER, AERIN?
I ALWAYS considered ESTEE LAUDER to be an OLD LADIES make up line!But as I was searching for the PERFECT orange/red lip color for a dear Friends BIRTHDAY who happens to FALL on VALENTINES DAY I found HER color in the ESTEE section.I also found ONE for ME with a blue/red glow.
I GUESS I have ARRIVED to that Older Woman, but I dONOT feel OLD in my head.My Body is telling me OTHERWISE, but I still feel like I am 18.
I was MOST LIKELY telling HER to make the signature out to LA CONTESSA!
She must have been THINKING…….this is a NUT CASE!
AERIN LAUDER granddaughter of ESTEE!
Do you think she has an OUNCE of MAKE~UP on?
Looks pretty a la NATURAL to ME!
What LIPSTICKS do YOU like the MOST and WHY?
Smell…….Vessel…….Colors…..
Tell ME EVERYTHING!

IT was MY FIRST TIME with the SELFIE STICK out in the WILD’s of the Garden…….I can ONLY get BETTER!!!!The CLEMATIS HELPED…………but there is definitely a knack and angle knowledge to GRASP this whole thing!Then one has to worry about BACKGROUND vision……….LOTS TO CONTEMPLATE with the SELFIE WAND!

Sheela Goh says
OMG how adorable are you!! And I mean that in the nicest possible way. Age and wisdom lend an expression of grace and beauty on one’s face which is unrivalled by any other experience in the world 🙂
Penelope Bianchi says
You are so right…..Elizabeth is beautiful beyond…..and much of her beauty is in her unspoiled and gorgeous self….aging beautifully!!!! Her love for life; her family, her animals shines through her beautiful eyes!
BRAVA!!!!!!
I have seen people whom I have known and loved my entire life; who have lost their smiles….they expression….and become unrecognizable through plastic surgery and too many fillers and botox. It is such a tragedy. They think they look good. Their smiles are gone! SOB!!!!
contessa says
SHEELA…………….thank YOU!So, kind of you to stop by and comment and share with me your views on aging.I whole heartily agree with YOU!

Penelope Bianchi says

Michelle says
I think you’re beautiful. Bleeding lipstick and flowers on your head. I adore that you admit exactly what I recently began to feel towards ageing, and my ‘when did this shift happen?’ sentiments. I noticed it in pictures of myself taken within the last year, and all I could wonder was, ‘does my family see what I see?’ Then I thought, but they love me and so do I. It’s tough, but real. Thank you for such honesty. (p.s. what really made me laugh was your asking Aerin to sign her book to La Contessa. You’re right! She must have thought: where’s security? ;-/
contessa says
GOTTA keep those CELEBRITIES On their TOES!!!!!!!
