The Uber “Tomato” Award
If you haven’t watched Netflix’s Emily in Paris, what are you waiting for? While it features the adorable young Emily (Lily Collins), an American in Paris, our favorite character is her boss, Sylvie, a woman of a “certain age”—played brilliantly by Philippine Leroy‑Beaulieu. The French call the tomato the pomme d’amour, or “Love Apple,” because they believed it was an aphrodisiac, which perfectly describes the effect Sylvie has whenever she steps into a room: irresistible, intoxicating, and impossible to forget. With one raised eyebrow she can command a space, deliver razor‑sharp wit, and still reveal just enough vulnerability to make her magnetic. Philippine turns confidence into an art form, and watching her is its own little love spell. She’s our kind of Tomato! Watch this clip and you’ll agree.
The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
