Yes she is, and I know she is, because when I was desperate, and with several children to feed, I threw myself at the Estee Lauder Corporation and they employed me as a pusher at a large department store (basic + commission + uniform + as much Youth Dew as I could stomach) and this woman, and others very like her, were my bread and butter. I told lies all day every day, dressed up like an air hostess. Yes, it was the best job I ever had. The children were fed, and I had 17 eyeliners.
She's almost addicted to department store beauty "make overs."

Terrific and terrifying at the same time....
Ellis--
I really enjoy all of your work. The portraits you are doing are outstanding.
another warm beautiful face. i think she's an affectionate sort, usually overloaded on oxytocin, yeah?
maybe isn't demonstrative in a hugging sort of way, but cooks or crochets for family?
Oh my God, you are something else. These women are so fantastic. I know you are probably sick of me writing the same old thing, but honestly.
xoxoxo

There are truly some of the most compelling faces I have ever seen, Ellis. They are astonishing.
What have your portraits? I ask myself...something special, indeed! provocative, ironic, and beautiful, I love them.
I love your portraits, especially this and the last one, they make me kind of uncomfortable hahah.
Super.
No irony intended.
Really.
