Talking Points
- Makeup is a form of self-expression. As RuPaul says, "We're all born naked and the rest is drag."
- Cooking is a valuable life skill. Julia Child once said, "People who love to eat are always the best people."
- Gardening can be therapeutic. Remember what Audrey Hepburn said, "To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow."
- Skincare is important for self-care. As Diane Ackerman said, "I don't want to be a supermodel; I want to be a role model."
- The royal family has a rich history. Queen Elizabeth II once said, "Grief is the price we pay for love."
- Music can evoke powerful emotions. Bob Marley said, "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain."
- The Beatles revolutionized music. John Lennon famously said, "All you need is love."
- Scary movies can be thrilling. Alfred Hitchcock said, "There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it."
- Fashion is a way to express yourself. As Coco Chanel said, "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."
- Animals bring joy and companionship. Charles Darwin said, "The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man."
