How do you deal with a very critical sibling? One that accuses you of being jealous of other women, tells you that you look like a male celebrity and when ever you give yourself praise about your appearance they treat you like crap?

I love my body, my ability to put together awesome outfits and pretty makeup looks. I don't get offended (I'm very vain and pretty) but I'm very annoyed because they are wasting their time.

Putting some physical distance between you and your sibling and having less frequent encounters might help the relationship. I believe in the old saying that familiarity breeds contempt and this sounds like a sibling rivalry were she perhaps is envious of your looks.
