When I was in my early 20s, I looked towards exterior things to make me feel sexy - guys, clothes, shoes, etc. Now it's all about how I feel internally.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have to feel good on the inside to look glamorous.
I'm really quite happy to say that in my early 40s, I wake up feeling sexy, and I can't say I felt that way in my late 20s.
If you focus more on the inside, you'll feel just as great about the outside. I feel attractive when I'm doing good and helping people.
I'm younger than I once was. Internally. Less self-conscious. Less insecure.
I grew up in an era where you had to find your own way as a woman. When I was a kid, there was this whole physical and emotional neatness and purity that a woman was supposed to have, and I didn't fit into that.
It's that I'm 39. I feel hot and sexy, actually... I feel it inside myself. I don't feel dried up and tired and no longer interested in sex is what I'm trying to say.
I love fashion, but I don't come from a background of loving clothes, and I remember feeling badly dressed from a young age.
Having inner beauty is something you develop on your own, and I like to think I have that.
I understand what it feels like not to like aspects of yourself. There have been times that I have felt really terrible about the way I look. I have the seed of that feeling.
I never thought of myself as being handsome or good-looking or whatever. I always felt like an outsider.
