Dennis Basso Quote:

sweetee2 — Mon, 05 Dec 2016 18:58:29 GMT

Last Friday when Dennis and Shawn were on showing his TSV Dennis said a quote from an old designer I wish I had known 60 years ago. " If you weren't born pretty, you can always dress pretty." Growing up with red hair, freckles, second tallest in the school, you get the picture, knowing this would have made the different sounds. I thought I would pass it on.

Another Dennis Basso quote: "If you are a woman of a certain age, the hell w/it!!!"

@sweetee2 I also believe "Clothes don't make the man (woman)" and "Beauty is on the inside". Take what features, coloring make you "different" (i.e. special) & run with it. Make it your signature look. Example is me: My skin is so fair, it's ghostly white. Bronzer, self-tanner? No way. Dark curly hair w/ a mind of its own. Flat iron? Smoothing w/ round brushes? Not a chance. I play up my fair skin w/ a pale pink blush & light lipcolor. Found a great stylist who knows curly hair and have stayed w/ her forever...Lots of conditioner and air dry. When I'm waiting for a friend in a restaurant, they ask for the short woman w/ porcelain skin & dark curly hair. My signature....my trademark. Find yours.

Thank you Shanks, I will try pinks. What brand do you use?

I think you have great beauty..you sound like a description of a princess in a fairy tale.

I also think red hair and freckles are gorgeous.

There is more than one standard for "pretty."

@sweetee2 Sorry for that long reply & if it sounded preachy. I use all BB skincare & makeup. The most shades of foundation in any line I've found & of course I'm the lightest she makes. I use Pale Pink Pot Rouge...cream blush that you pat on cheeks & can pat on lips. If you prefer a powder blush, the same shade comes in powder. Don't be afraid when you see bright color. Does not look like that when applied. Also try Sandwash Pink for a lipcolor (in a tube) if you prefer that. Hope that helps. For fun, find a BB makeup counter. Free makeovers, will match your foundation (I use a very portable stick foundation). When you're finished & see the magic, you'll be so happy you took the time.

For years my mom and I had our hair dyed red....we loved red hair....

My mom died many years ago and I continued to dye my hair red...then i went to blond and then tired of the whole ordeal and let my hair grow out gray....lol

Touchy-feely, "kiss me like you mean it" Dennis Basso isn't anyone I'd pay any mind to. Creepy...

And he deals in animal fur.

Makes me sick to look at him.

Thank goodness the fashion world is starting to recognize that there are many different types of beauty (Basso hasn't gotten the memo apparently)

I understand his quote perfectly. While true that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, there isn't such thing as perfection. We all have flaws and with the right clothes, makeup and hairstyles we can all be beautiful. Accentuate the positive!

I've never been a fan of DB for reasons stated, so i dont't give a flying fig about his opinions regarding fashion or much else.

Really? You never heard a version of that. I was not born pretty either, I wasn't one of those pretty little blond girls with pink pouts and crystal blue eyes. But my mom and my grandmother taught me that pretty can only get you so far. What's really important is knowing how to dress well and accessortize and how to use make up. Also I was taught early that every woman has an outstanding feature and smart woman accentuates. So, from a young age, I never really worried about not being the pretty girl. I was that attractive girl with the amazing hair....and the straight A's. That was my niche.

I could care less what DB thinks or says about beauty. I do believe the best fitting clothes, nice skin and hair make a super impression and is a great self esteem builder for men and women alike, even if you are not classically good looking.

My coats are made by Tommy Hilfiger. Match that Dennis, that's right you can't! I get an impeccable fit from Tommy Hilfiger one that you'd envy and certainly have never achieved when selling to me.

I agree, and that screaming voice really annoys me.

WOW, talk about turning a thread around! How did his quote get caught up in whether the posters like him or not?

Why? Dennis Basso, has acted and looked the same for years, who cares! His comment was made for all women for there inner and outer beauty, if he even gave one woman more encouragement all the more power! Maybe he reminded an older woman that she to has beauty,that she has forgotten!

Because he has no room to talk. It was probably his mother that told him that quote intending it for him.
