Appearance is important to me personally in as much as I'd rather blend with the crowd. I don't want to make a grooming mistake and be the object of ridicule. Other than that, I've got friends, pretty and not-quite-cover girl material, and I like them the same.<br /><br />Superficial people rub don't hold my interest. I'll listen or interact as required, but then I move on to doing something that is more than skin deep.<br /><br />But I'm intrigued by your treatment of the topic in Forever Young, and I wish you well!<br /><br />Maggie<br />www.maggietoussaint.comMaggie Toussainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011893139722870283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-1886289866450692632012-01-12T15:30:07.145-05:002012-01-12T15:30:07.145-05:00Diane, thanks for the introduction to Morgan!

However, now that I'm um "older", I believe I'd give someone much more of a chance based on their personality. <br /><br />I've read most of your book and you've certainly got your heroine in a pickle. I'll be very interested to see how she handles all you've thrown at her along with her young body. I've really enjoyed that aspect of the story.<br /><br />Good luck with your book.Barbara Weitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04282872369066664256noreply@blogger.com
