People are really struggling out there. Mostly because they are addicted to control and desperate to know the unknowable. I’m here to give you answers. They may not be what you want to hear. They may not be what you expected. They may not have anything to do with your question. But I do know a little bit about a lot of things and a lot about the little things. Those that know me personally may protest that I’m the last person anyone should go to for help. But the beauty of being the official advice columnist for @elleusa is that Im the one sitting atop this pedestal, dangling my little legs as I take in the view that is you people. Think of me as a mentor or sibyl. An oracle if you will. Maybe even a tiny angel who, to the dubious few, appears to be just a giddy little brat, backlit by the blinding sun. sincerely, Tender Tips 💝 Got a question for Tender Tips?
