My favorite image of this week’s belated Miscellaneous is the last one from Vogue Paris, featuring Tom Ford’s jewelry collection . The one thing I possibly like more than the images of this editorial is this quote form Tom Ford :

“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. Society today condems this, me, I celebrate it. For this session of fine jewellery, I imagined a man and a woman who had been together for a long time, faithful to each other and always incandescent with desire.”

This actually reminds me of when I was in Miami and we where sitting in a restaurant when I noticed the lady sitting next to our table donned a tiny white dress paired with a pair of impossibly high heels , obviously trying to look half her age. The I wondered, what was the problem of looking like you are fifty when you are fifty? Women should learn to embrace their age , let their smile- lines grin again. There is nothing like a woman who has let time alter her appearance , let experience make her wiser but has maintained a impenetrable psychological youth.

On that note , it’s Friday go do something fun.
