    THE FACT THAT HER STYLIST TOLD HER TO NOT WEAR THAT AND JLOS STYLIST TOLD HER NOT TO WEAR THE JUNGLE DRESS... IMMEDIATELY FIRED

      itsjemmabond - Thanks! And yeah Versace was stagnant coming out of the 90's after Giani died and Donatella got into drugs. JLo pulled them out of that and Donatella has been extremely grateful for that. JLo wears Versace all the time and Versace features JLo in some shows as a guest of honor or actually walking on the runway and in some campaigns.

      This is a very weird thing. You shouldn't have to flaunt your body to feel confident ever in the first place regardless of your age. This kind of conditioning leads to the hypersexualization that is prominent in popular culture and media. No wonder younger women are fetishized.

      @@maha7504 I don't think lady gaga counts.
      And is not because I'm not a fan.
      I think the comment is talking about an specific outfit most people will think about if they think of someone wearing their most famous look.
      And before people say I'm hating on Lady Gaga.... I put Selena in that category too. 🤷‍♀️
      I dont know how other people see Selena (Quintanilla) but in the Latino community she doesn't have a specific look.
      If someone tells me
      "Hey Taga, I'll dress like Selena this Halloween"
      I'll ask
      "what outfit?
      Skirt, bodysuit, pants?
      And what about the hair...
      Mid up mid down, elaborate bun, loose?"
      You know what I mean?
      So if someone tells me
      "I'll dress up like lady gaga"
      There's a chance I will not guess the outfit,
      But I'll have more chances to guess the marilyn monroe.
      So yes, lady gaga's outfit are iconic, but this is not the type of category to have her.
      In another list I'm pretty sure she will have 3 spots out of ten.
      In this list, she's not even considered.

    Let's just say, she lives her life, every single day the way "HER INSTINCT" tells her.
    At the end of the day ... she'll have ZERO REGRETS!
    Good for her.
    Still look beautiful as she grows.

    Also is there a chance to get proper subtitles to your videos? 😇 There are folks who depend on them (deaf, hard of hearing, etc.). Thank you. ❤️

    This was so lovely to watch. It is inspiring to see how Geri has grown and how she remains positive. I also have to say it was inspiring to see her support Age UK . I must admit as Geri has grown up she now reminds me of a GP I used to have who was very kind and lovely. I think that kindness resonates in Geri. She appears at ease and peace with herself.

      Miss Gunst agreed! I have the same asymmetry and am self conscious about it. She looks beautiful!

    • @SunflowerSpotlight

      chanell bruton Most people have asymmetrical features! It’s pretty rare for everything to line up perfectly, which is why middle hair parts are unflattering on most people; it draws attention to it. My right eye is smaller because you see more of the eyelid. I dunno if it’s a slight difference in muscle strength in my eyelids or that my eye is slightly deeper set or what. I can use my makeup to help even them out, though, so it’s less apparent.
      Regardless, it’s normal, and part of what makes you YOU! 😁
