“It's funny how your relationship with your own looks changes when you go weeks without seeing yourself. None of us really knows what we look like after all.

“The age of disappearing women. It had been going on forever. Thousands of us vanished, with not a single police officer searching. Not a word from the newspapers. Only our long absences and quiet returns. If we ever returned at all.” ― Nina de Gramont, The Christie Affair
