Estee Lauder, who started a kitchen business blending face creams and built it into an international cosmetics empire, has died. She was believed to be 95.

"Beauty is an attitude," she once said. "There's no secret. Why are all brides beautiful? Because on their wedding day they care about how they look. There are no ugly women -- only women who don't care or who don't believe they're attractive."

You Said

this is so true. there is nothing quite so transforming as a smile and an attitude, both of which are available to everyone.

How incredibly true! I'm gonna write down that quote and chant it every morning while I put on my makeup :)

She also said, "If tomorrow every woman in the world woke up..looked in the mirror, and loved what she saw - - the world economy would go bust in less than a week."

I definitely agree, though I think Estee forgot about one thing: "there's no accounting for taste!" Estee, however, was no fashion victim.
