Girls Write Out

(Daryl Hannah from "Splash")

I haven't hidden the fact that I'm vain. Like Posh Spice, I believe in making the most of what you've been given. She knows she wasn't born a ten, but she does a lot with what she has -- and she married Beckham (sigh!) Not too bad.

However, I am really disturbed by the lack of aging I see going on in Hollywood -- because it sends out the message from TMZ (thirty mile zone, where most of the world's information comes from) that we don't get better on the inside as we grow older. We only get uglier. Think about your grandmother in relation to that statement! Think about what the Bible says about beauty being fleeting and charm being deceiving.

The world is really deceived here. How else can we explain that the Kardashians are famous? I even heard Sophia Loren complain she could lose a few pounds. Lady, you're not supposed to be a size two at 80, all right? It's creepy. It's like the world has become one big picture of Dorian Gray and our insides get uglier and uglier. Can you imagine if the world's women put as much into their internal beauty as their external beauty?

So give us your best beauty tip -- internal or external that won't make us look Stepford.
