On beauty, Kate says:
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">"I love being a girl. I love clothes and I love the rituals of facials and body treatments, all the stuff girls get, make-up, scarves, hats."</p>
She also says she's not opposed to Botox (which is a relief, because I'm tired of celebs lying about it, frankly):
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">"Everyone’s so obsessed with who gets Botox, but it’s great! Are you kidding? The fact that women can avoid going under the knife and get a little Botox treat and not have to worry about it? I’m glad it’s there for when it’s time."</p>
Do you think this shoot will help Kate cast off her girl-next-door image? (Personally, I'm enjoying seeing her with a little more edge.) Would YOU wear this extreme eyeliner?
