The nonblonde has been around a long time, long before you, kristina, and will be here long after you. If you don't like her posts, don't read them. It's nonblonde's opinion.

Gaia's simply saying she doesn't buy the notion that French women are superior when it comes to chic. That's OK. Her blog, she can say that. Besides, we all know that Lancôme uses a marketing strategy based on the notion that French women supposedly have a superior level of elegance and chic and, if we want to achieve that same level, we will need to buy their products. There's nothing wrong with that. Lancôme is, after all, a French brand. But, that doesn't mean we have to swallow the whole French women are superior shtick hook, line, and sinker. I have lived in a few European countries (France being one of them) and have visited many more. I didn't find that any one country was superior to any other in terms of the beauty and chic of its women. It is true that before the Internet, style and fashion was less homogenous, but now that beauty has gone global, the differences are negligible. All that being said, I, too, find the myth of the French woman to be a bit silly, but I bought this lovely palette anyway :-)Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-85302464753204376912015-09-09T11:10:33.813-04:002015-09-09T11:10:33.813-04:00Bravo Roseanne!!!Bravo Roseanne!!!Manuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14341650673997588489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-80105720088742166172015-09-09T09:57:13.367-04:002015-09-09T09:57:13.367-04:00A blog like this is for the writer to voice her op...A blog like this is for the writer to voice her opinions. If you don't agree, that's fine, but your ad hominem attack seems really uncalled for. This reminds me so much of what is going on in out culture today: everything has to be so PC that it's impossible to express and opinion. If you do, it's called out as being sexist, racist, or any of a million other things dubbed micro-aggressions. Might as well fold the tent and go live in the desert. Oh, whoops. That's a micro-aggression against people who live in the desert.Roseannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08215112374752564202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-43499581683837446272015-09-09T03:56:20.852-04:002015-09-09T03:56:20.852-04:00To me the comments came across as personal observa...To me the comments came across as personal observation rather than judgement. I have a dear friend who is French and she always looks fantastic but then I have friends from different nationalities who also look a million bucks as well. I think we can take comfort from the fact that no one country or city has a monopoly on style and good looks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-67130537410307798042015-09-09T03:02:08.708-04:002015-09-09T03:02:08.708-04:00I agree with you on the Parisian women - they are ...I agree with you on the Parisian women - they are not all Chic.

I've been to Paris enough times to realize that Parisian women come in all shapes, colors, and taste levels. It's probably where I've seen the largest number of fashion victims per square foot (square meter?), as well as some true elegance. But that's neither here nor there”…………………..<br /><br /><br />Was this necessary? I took a very long break from your blog, along with many of my friends, because reading a product review with judgement about other women is uncalled for. For example, you have spoken of those of us with pierced ears being “vulgar” and you seem to think you are the establishment of all good taste and grace. Haven’t you noticed when you post a handbag or a pair shoes you adore you receive few comments? It’s because people know if they have nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything at all. Why don’t use your blog to bring women together, spread your vast product knowledge, instead of being breaking down women. You lost our group again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585144621964408377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-58286206124441294942015-09-08T18:06:45.201-04:002015-09-08T18:06:45.201-04:00Do you happen to know the name of the colour that ...Do you happen to know the name of the colour that Lisa applies to the woman's lips in the linked video?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
