So this year may I present . . . the Advanced Style Ladies of New York! To paraphrase some of their words of wisdom:
Dress up for the theatre of your life every day.
You don't want to look crazy, but look as chic as you can.
Before 80, you lie about your age. After 80, you brag about it.
This video is a trailer for the full-length documentary which is coming out in the summer of 2012. There will be a book too. And there's a blog called Advanced Style where all this madness started.
Thanks to Suzy8-Track of I got stuff on my mind for introducing me to this great video!
wow, that was great!!!!!I hope to have that much passion when I reach taht age, heck I hope i have that much now!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy day to you beautiful woman! I LOVED THIS!!! Oooh too cool!!! Thx for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHappy Women's Day, Debs!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I think you have to live in New York or Montreal to have that much instinctual style, I can only dream about being so free! I love those women and will listen with the sound on at home, I am at work and watched with the sound off... L
ReplyDeleteexcellent,, nice video. :)
ReplyDeleteHow inspiring is that!? I'd rather be like them than mouldering away quietly in a corner of the nursing home!
ReplyDeleteThose gals have STYLE! They make getting older seem fun.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite though has just got to be the 90-year-old with the fake ultra long red eyelashes.
"If someone doesn't like what I'm wearing, I don't give a shit!" Lol!! This was so empowering! These women are amazing and give us the vision for an exciting old age.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. I hate the stigma that once you get old you have to wear mumus and slippers. I'm sure my wife will be like this, and I love it.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this video. I've watched it several times and I aspire to be a member of this team! I have the sunglasses! :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! Those women... that's my Great Aunt. She loves her bangles and her bling and she ain't afraid to show it! :D She's 87.
