She’s definitely always done that. I know this because I used to think it was really cool and started doing it myself.


I’ll show myself out.
Yep, she's always done it. That, and the sort of tongue-against-the-hard-palate tsk-ing thing

Totally agree on the red lipstick not suiting everyone. I know women who hated it on themselves but still persisted as they had been led to believe it suited everyone
I finally found a red that works for me. I've been trying for actual decades and I've never left the house in one. I blot it on with a finger though so it's sort of smudgy and worn-looking rather than bright and glossy (i know, how skidmarky of me). And for the piece de resistance, it's a terrible L'Oreal lippie, tested on animals most likely and with only a semi-satisfying satisfying click

Something to do with the idea of a child being born evil. An infant behaving deliberately to upset its mother. Or something. I think some child psychologists thought it was potentially damaging/dangerous.
It was a novel - fiction- what if a child was born evil? I don’t know Lionel Shriver but I’ve read most of her novels and she’s a terrific novelist, that’s all I want from novelists- to be good at writing fiction.
 
Don't you need empathy for that?

She seems to have plenty for herself so maybe a thinly veiled autobiographical account of a middle class ugly duckling (by her own description) from the sticks who runs away to the big city and finally hits the big time with a hair straighteners ad?

I reckon she’d quite like being able to boss the characters around and have them do her bidding.
