Tom Ford said “I am tired of the cult of youth. The cultural rejection of old age, the stigmatization of wrinkles, grey hair, of bodies furrowed by the years. I am fascinated by Diana Vreeland, Georgia O’Keeffe and Louise Bourgeois, women who have let time embrace them without ever cheating.”
With all the hype about staying young and trendy these days, we seem to have forgotten about the fact that beauty lies within the older generation too.
It’s as if it is almost a crime to be old these days.
Old people are real, the ageing process is a glorious and wonderful thing if we only accept it and stop battling with it.
The elderly lead interesting and fascinating passionate fun filled lives too if they want to.
We can all be inspired by the elderly.
Here are a few pictures that depict just how colourful and interesting ageing can be. To show that ageing could be something one can actually look forward too.
Just be yourself.
Live, laugh, smile.
Remember: You are as old as you feel.
The ageing process can be a wonderful thing and we should respect it.
Named the world’s oldest female bodybuilder by the Guinness Book of World Records, Shepherd is up at 3 a.m. every day to lift weights, run, and do a cardio workout. She’s also a personal trainer, professional model, and author. She is the lady with the braid on the right.
Age is not a death sentence.
Don’t worry about wrinkles and wrinkles won’t worry about you.
Live life to the fullest. Simply enjoy it.
Every stage of life is beautiful. Let go and love it!
Let’s face it.
You never have to stop being classy.
You never have to lose your spunk.
Keep living everyday as if it were your last.
Elegance has no age limits.
Enjoy the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
You can still be a free spirit.
