Quotes by Yvonna Russell (?)

“It’s part of my brand. It encourages my fans to stay focused and the importance of self care” Reggie said exasperated by these questions.
“The only self care your fans are focused on is keeping a roof over their heads, paying bills, feeding their kids and not getting COVID-19” he sat on the weight bench and motioned her over.”
― Yvonna Russell, The Last Movie Star

The beauty counter saleswoman ask her “Would you like gift wrap?”
Robin Lea sighs “No I'll just take it to go. Thank you”.”

Yvonna’s Quotes

“The largest shareholder in L’Oreal heiress Françoise Bettencourt Meyers had been the top girl for a while. After her father’s death Eustacia’s fortune jumped making her crack into the $100 billion club.

Didn’t they think she had anything better to do with her time? Eustacia bristled with annoyance.
No, she would not, (a) being rich was like being beautiful or smart if you have to tell someone you are you're probably not, (b) someone will always ask you for money.”
