Lost Patina Buttermilk question

When getting older, one has to decide if the inside or the outside is more important. I feel that inner beauty shines through the years without need for enhancement. Inner beauty is held and remembered in the hearts of those one touches.

Outer beauty is fleeting regardless of how much plastic surgery and auto putty is used to hide the damage of years. Outer beauty is held in wallets and brought out to compare photographs.
 
The sad thing to me is how many young girls are so self absorbed so early, and get fixated on their outward appearance.
One of my garden kids, a 9 YO girl wants to be a makeup artist when she grows up. Her aunt sent her a birthday gift of a day at a plush tourist spa where she got the works. She already wears lipstick, mascara, and eyeliner. I told her she was more beautiful without the artificial goo, but she likes to wear it. It's too bad that a little girl can't just be a little girl when that's what they are. It's such a brief time, and the innocence of that age is too easily shattered.

What? Makes me wonder what she is learning from her parents. Poor thing.
