§  ‘Woman’s daily make-up ritual, on average she will expose herself to more than 200 synthetic chemicals before she has morning coffee.’

§  ‘Suppose we are. English women are feminists without thinking about it. We spend more time trying to make statements than looking nice. But no, not all English girls are like that. There are still the Cheryl Coles.’

o   Quote:

§  ‘Now, one doesn't need to be a militant feminist to see that high heels and especially super-high heels are the modern-day equivalent of foot binding. And yet many women, with a worrying degree of masochism, love them. But what mystifies me is the correlation between heel height and heel price.’

o   Quote:

§  ‘A century ago, a woman could let her hair go grey and still feel she was making the best of herself. Between the 1950s and 1970s, the proportion of women dyeing their hair rose from 7 per cent to 40 per cent. Then, during the 1970s, an advertising campaign for L'Oreal Preference made dyeing practically mandatory.’
