Little girls (sometimes little boys too) become ladies and ladies become women. This is the story of womanhood. It’s a long beautiful journey that we cannot escape even with the most expensive anti-aging cream in the universe.
Some say wisdom comes with age… and I say so can fabulousity! Just take it from international fashion authority Caroline Cox and her book ‘Grown Up Glamor’. Channeling her glamour gurus including Marlene Dietrich, Jackie O, Sophia Loren and many more, she proves that AGE is SEXY!
I absolutely love this book! Apart from the beautiful packaging, Caroline’s insights will help you feel more beautiful and daring than ever. It has chapters that help you find your own style, recommend everything from make up to arm candy and killer heels, and inspire you to start to walk, talk, and wow like an old school vixen.
Sisters, time to read, learn, and live. Remember, there is no age that can excuse anyone from being losyang!
If you’re in your mid thirty’s and up, listen up!
“Every generation of grown-up girls has a myth to contend with. Today’s new myth of ‘invisibility’ suggests that the older the woman becomes the more disposable she gets — her attractiveness is proportionate to her fertility. As women fade into the background, their reproductive years trailing behind them, men remain sharply in focus —they stay fertile and automatically sexier too. But hold on a minute, that makes Anna Wintour less compelling than Arsene Wenger, Ben Elton more magnetic than Natasha Kinski, and Sigourney Weaver’s fanciability factor nothing compared to the animal pull of Robin Gibb. Riiight…
Women are only invisible if they choose to be — and let’s face it, some days you want to be and that’s fine.But there are many of us who refuse to be defined by such garbage. I f you choose to believe in your own invisibility because you are delicately ripening, then desist, because you have allowed a myth to change your perception of yourself — a myth that, although insidious, has no basis.” Caroline Cox, author of ‘Grown-Up Glamour’
