Aging Fashion Icons

Whether in jammies


or formal wear....


whether riding in a mid-life crisismobile


Or posing with a thug gangsta....


whether carrying a baby


or carrying a baby...


whether playing angelic ingenue....


or badass party girl...


whether rocking a granny sweater and spectacles


or an ethnic headband and beads....


whether long Breck girl hair


or wacky highlights...


whether posing as a ballroom dancer


or a bowler....


whether drinking from a phallic straw


or rockin' Jingle Jugs.....


....one thing is for sure. My best friend can carry off any look with more style and grace than the rest of us all rolled together. Happy Birthday to the Grace Kelly of the nineties, Jackie O of the noughties, and sure to be Princess Di of the twenty-tens. May your reign as the Queen Of The Most Appropriate/Stylish Outfit And Most Gracious Demeanor/Behavior For The Occasion continue to inspire the rest of us wannabes forever.

(wish I had a picture of her in her Chili's shirt with giant globs of guacamole down the front. although come to think of it, she looked fresh as a daisy in that too...i'm hoping, if i'm around, that her family will let me dress her in kmart clothes and frosted eyeshadow for her viewing. just once i want a picture of her looking tacky, is that so much to ask??!!)

  1. yep, this girl...is our girl. She does indeed exude stle and grace with exquisite, natural aplomb. Her status as family fashion consultant is forever established. And besides that, we kinda like her. And since you, shmoozanne, want to dress her in kmart clothes and frosted eyeshadow just for fun, we will happily share her with you.
