A few years ago, all-around hot chick Stephanie Dolgoff started to notice that salespeople in trendy boutiques—the ones who "used to swirl around me like bees over a puddle of orange soda"—no longer bothered to pitch her their skinny jeans and spiky heels.

My Formerly Hot Life in Tablet

I love the part about me having more energy to promote my book than writers "half my age." That's just another way of saying I'm an old book whore, as opposed to a young book whore! I'll take it.
