"of all the people like you I've met, you were the one most comfortable in their own skin. You're a very pretty woman, and you're very lucky."

That was opinion of the make-up lady at the Bay in Southgate Mall, when I we talked on the phone today, a phone call she made as a follow-up to my buying some cleanser from her a couple of weeks ago. Now, she's in sales, and therefore knows how to flatter to get a customer to come back, but its also possible that she is being totally sincere too.

You'll forgive me if I hope its the latter.
