I'm watching the Coco Chanel movie with Audrey Tautou. As I went through the movie I became curious to see how close to Coco Chanel's real life did the movie follow. I wiki'd her life and did an extra google search for good measure, and discovered that they embellished a good portion however the general outline was still there. I also discovered she was never married. Never married, a few affairs, maybe fell in love once or twice, but no marriage.
She is the only person listed under the list of Top 100 most influential people of the 20th century from the fashion industry. Came from nothing and became a world wide phenomenon.
The age old question: Does a woman need to sacrifice a personal life in order to become a success? However, I beg to differ on the question.
I do however feel like there are many women out there who become a Coco Chanel in their own right, minus the international success and worldwide empire, but their not ever being married part.
I wonder how my biography would read...

If you're a man and you're married, your wife needs two qualities in order for you to make it:
1) submissive
2) dumb and/or have no aspirations
And that is why I'm not making it. That's fucking boring.
