Can’t keep us Fashionistas over 40 down!
Just heard that 60′s supermodel Twiggy who so many of us grew up with, will be penning a style book this year for women over 40. It’s going to be called “Those Fabulous Forties, Fifties and Sixties!” – (great title)
We’re really looking forward to what she has to say. It’ll be interesting to hear her views on aging especially since her whole modeling career was built on her youthful looks.
Twiggy is still a very beautiful, fashionable woman and a real inspiration to gals our age.
Just look at her. There’s nothing about her style that comes off as desperately trying to look young. She’s a sexy, mature woman who looks wonderfully fresh and modern.
The book should do really well because there is definitely a change happening. We 40+ gals are refusing to give up style and let ourselves go, just because we’ve hit midlife. As we Glam Gals always say Life is too short to be Frumpy! Twiggy is definitely on the edge of a new wave.
Let’s just hope that fashion designers and retailers pick up on this wave too and get cracking with some chic new style offerings specifically suited to us, SOON!
Score another one for women over 40.
They’ve just published the results of a British survey by New Woman Magazine that asked 5,000 female readers to name the celebrity with the body that all women want. And the winner is.. ( drumroll) ..not 20 year old Lindsay Lohan or 25 year old Sienna Miller or even 25 year old Jessica Biel, but 41 year old Liz Hurley.
Women say the sexy Estee Lauder covergirl is the perfect combination of slim but curvy and that she is their body idol.
You’ve probably noticed that other celebs like Hallie Berry ( 40) Sarah Jessica Parker ( 42) have also eased into midlife looking pretty fantastic too. Boy, do these gals seem disciplined and ready to tackle the sagging and flabbiness that comes with aging.
Still, there’s no doubt it’s going to be very hard work, especially when Liz Hurley has already confessed that she only eats one full meal a day and snacks on six raisons!
Best of luck ladies. We’ll be watching, looking for some inspiration. (Still, can’t help but think how these gals will be in for a shock once menopause hits and the pounds get harder and harder to diet and exercise away, no matter what you do….don’t we know it!)
Other winners of the British Body Idol contest who were over 40 inluded Oscar Winner Helen Mirren, Joanna Lumley and Twiggy.
