Timeless Beauties





A few months ago my sister and I had a conversation.  It went a little like this:

My sister: (looking in magazine) Wow, Helen Mirren is on fire!

Me: (looking at magazine page over her shoulder nodding my head)  She looks amazing.

My sister: If I look like that when I am her age....(side eye with attitude and and strikes a diva pose)

Me:  Not sure if the world is ready for you just yet.  (cracking up laughing)

My sister:  Well, ready or not.....(chuckling and browsing through magazine again)


Fortunately Helen is not the only one looking great as she gets older.  There are many other women her age and older who are as my sister would put it "holding it down!"

Here are some of them, most of them over 70 years old.  Enjoy!
























Cherio!

Gray Hair And Galactic Boots

I have a question for you.  Do you have the chutzpah, the kahunas,......the I don't give a hoot-ness to rock gray hair?   Well, I think I do.  Not because I am all that, although I am not exactly lacking in the self esteem department..... at all.   No, it has nothing to do with that.   I think I can  rock gray hair simply because I actually like this look.  Gray hair if done well is regal, gorgeous and oh so fly!

Now I know most women won't welcome these little silver intruders with open arms.  As a matter of fact, most of us at the first sighting of a few gray strands leave skid marks in the driveway in our haste to get the "Fixer" in the little bottle.  L'oreal, Clairol, Garnier, wehatever our favorite hair color brand is, we fix the gray pronto!

Well, I on the other hand have been proudly cultivating my few gray strands with joyful anticipation.  I can't wait to have enough  to get a little streak or something going on.  Why? Because it's fabulous!  I am so in love with gray hair.....but then again, I come from a genetic pool of creative, stubborn, spirited and nonconformist people so sometimes I can cook up some stuff in my head that even amazes me.

Do you see these galactic boots ( I named them that), well, my sister bought these because she just knew, that if anyone can rock these, she can!  See what I mean?...this is the gene pool I came from.  As for gray hair, here are some beautiful examples of how beautiful and modern this look can be.  To me it is the glorious evidence that I have been blessed by God to live this long, its a silver/platinum crown, and its down right fierce!

Cherio!
