Silicon Valley, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – As part of a tour for her new book Hard Choices, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton treated the Internet to a Q&A while visiting some of the biggest companies in Silicon Valley.

One of the most talked-about questions  was: “What advice would you give to young women who are considering a career in politics/public service?”

Clinton responded by saying that women in the public arena should “grow skin as thick as the hide of a rhinoceros,” adding, “I have certainly, as you can tell, have had to learn how to do that.  There’s a lot of good moisturizers I can tell you about if you’re interested.”

Soon after, the former First Lady and presumptive 2016 presidential candidate received dozens of text messages from cosmetic companies asking if she would endorse their moisturizing products.  In return, the companies promised full financial backing for her presidential campaign.

Among those that contacted Clinton were manufacturers of the brands Olay, Avon, L’Oreal, Neutrogena, Nivea, Estee Lauder and Shiseido.

Clinton and her consultants are still reportedly studying the endorsement offers.  “We have some time between now and the start of the 2016 campaign season,” they said.
