I came across this, thought it was interesting and thought someone else might like it ... I really wish we could find out her skincare routine!
"Okay, I have one more story. In her post,
Callie (who wrote
this beautiful paeon to Dutton's last year) characterized Brentwood by mentioning Jennifer Garner. And you know what that means, that celebrities and a few paparazzi are zooming around. It's part of life in Los Angeles, and not necessarily the part that makes it great. And to me, (and most of us who've been here for awhile) it's pretty incidental. We pride ourselves on not really caring
But one day I was at Dutton's and I found myself listening to an employee explain a new hardcover to someone. It sounded so interesting that I turned around. The employee had been talking to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. My eyes lingered on her too long because she was
so beautiful. Our eyes met and I turned away, a little ashamed that I hadn't maintained. Sure, Jennifer Garner is great looking, but I'd like to think that the fact that she was at Dutton's, hearing about this incredible book (which I bought that day, btw, and it was one of my best reads of 2006 --
Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky, a stunning illustration of France during World War II. It's unfinished because its author was dragged off to a concentration camp while she was writing it.) is what made her exceptional."

Here is what Callie said:
"First of all, Brentwood is yuppieville, with babies and strollers and Jennifer Garner – a far cry from my usual Venice surroundings"
