| Iris Apfel |
I am about to head out on a solo trip to a friend's wedding in Rhinebeck, NY and then on to visit my mom, who is recuperating from a fall. A few weeks ago, my 87-year -old uncle was changing a light blub, and on his way off the step stool, unfortunately lost his balance and knocked my mom flat her back.
As my dad use to say "It's always something..."
It really *is* almost always something. That's the reality of life, I think.
Anyway, have you heard the news that 90-year-old fashion and design icon Iris Apfel has been chosen to be the inspiration for the new MAC make-up line? How cool is that? I can't tell you how happy this makes me. I wrote about Iris when I first started Lines of Beauty. I love that they have picked her to be their model.
Iris urges all women to enjoy their age.
Yesssssssss!!!
She is following in the footsteps of a couple of other mature women- Ellen DeGeneres and Diane Keaton- who are the faces of Cover Girl and L'Oreal, respectively.
We ARE making progress!
You can see Iris Apfel's interview on The Today Show from last week here.
She is so very, very cool.
I also have to leave you with a bit of humor...my 18 and 20 year old daughters turned me onto this site called What Should We Call Me which is great for some quick laughs. Every day they post several two second videos, many of which crack me up.
Here are just a few:
When I'm looking for my phone.
When your boss isn't in the office.
When I have to do work but everything else seems so much more interesting.
Have a good weekend, my beauties.
