Kindness costs nothing, unlike cruelty which in my experience costs several hundred pounds an hour.



Even without the label you’d always know a Cruella shot from the glamorous locations, right?













The lovely Maîtresse Blanche, there, who applies her treatments in a pretty little town near Fontainebleu outside Paris. I have been in that position, presumably in that very chair, and I was coping… OK with it all, until she discovered I was ticklish. But she coped very well with my not coping.
















Cruella, of course – even the Editrix herself (yes she was, who else do you imagine wrote the editorials?), Lady Victoria, on the right there. She inspired Goddess-Lady Lucia, you know.
















True, that. I’ve experienced a lot of pain in my relationships with women and I can only hope and pay for more in the years to come.
