The Linda Lesson-Be Nice, Smile Twice.

My favourite designer (Julius Lumsden) once told me about meeting Linda Evangelista.  From the look on his face, I could tell she wasn't warm and fuzzy, the way she uses her face makes her seem like she's the anti-warm and fuzzy.

I learned a lesson from that moment: be nice, smile twice.  Linda Evangelista could get away with being the way she was because she was a product of fashion and her time.  These days when everyone everywhere could video tape you, be nice and smile twice.

I watched Kim Kardashian on TV yesterday and I saw something shocking.  She had made a promise to appear somewhere for her birthday, and her mom/agent Kris canceled.  Kim insisted on appearing even though it was her one day to rest.  For all she might be, I learned something from her too: Always appear when promised.
