I was just commenting on that fact, not commenting on vanity... after all, combing our hair in the morning is an act of vanity, if you want to get technical.
And I simply said that no one was slamming her on this thread. I see no point in slamming her for having her shots smoothed out; it would be futile and a waste of time. Besides, as I said before, I'd do the same thing. And I wouldn't knock her for looking tired, either. She is in her fifties and no one looks like an album cover 24 hours a day. Or for two hours a day, for that matter.

And, since you got technical, almost all of our behaviors are motivated out of vanity. Brushing our teeth, brushing our hair, smoothing out our wrinkled clothes, using breath mints; it's all vanity, my friend.
