Hello, Petra. (not Petra Kvitova, but my Petra reference, after many years of playing and teaching tennis). Just discovered your Beauty Chest - my little strongbox of memories is Anglo-American via New England, years in LA and now France. Hope to enjoy your posts.
Glad to find you here, Petra. I'm thinking that perhaps "beauty chest" has a meaning unique to UK. In the US of my late boomer stage, there were special pieces of luggage called a "make-up case." Is that the same thing? Mine was Samsonite and beige, though I never used it. Very popular among beauty pageant contestants. Is that similar?
Hi Linda! Yes, I suppose a beauty chest is the same thing as a makeup case, though I’m not even sure I will keep the name Beauty Chest. This Substack is still very much a work-in-progress and currently in the early stages of trial and error. It’s a fun experiment—who knows where it’ll lead. Thanks for jumping aboard, my friend and fellow wordsmith!
