“I don't see my skin aging. I see my skin looking as good, or better, than it did ten years ago...and that makes me smile.”
“Yes, you can get a man to do just about anything, and you know it. So, what are you going to attract him into doing? Buying you a nice house? Giving you the space to guide your own life?

“Sheâ€™s the wild, feline, untamed part of you, your sexual alter ego and the opposite of the â€œgood girlâ€ or â€œlittle lady.â€ Some of us know her better than others do, but I would venture to guess that your erotic creature hasnâ€™t seen nearly enough light of day.”
