A Model Diversity

DIVERSITY IN MODELLING

When we think of models I am sure most think of young girls of 16 or 18 years old, and the more

recognizable models such a Kate, Bella, Naomi or Claudia. All are a major player in the fashion industry.

Seeing more diversity is a great thing.

Diversity is important but we don't see it much on the runways. But it is changing slowly and

there are some older models, curvy models and many others. I recently came across an article

where a woman in her 60s has started to model.The article HERE She appeared in a HM campaign wearing a swimsuit. So wow much has changed. It is wonderful woman of all ages being shown.

I can recall a woman saying , 'After a certain age women become invisible'. it was a bit of shock to hear. My thought how can that be, why?

The reason basically is the fashion industry or designers use only the youthful girls

and seldom do you see woman of certain age on runways.

But I also think women as they get older lose interest in trying something different and new.

Their looks stay the same or their taste in clothes is dated. I don't mean that women need to

dress like a 20 year old, but perhaps with more color or change of accessories to the wardrobe.

Whether 50 60 or 80, women of all ages can look wonderful.

Here are just a few ladies that look fabulous from a model to actresses.

They are stylish, glamorous and beautiful!

Catherine Deneuve, 70s

Flying high // travel

B Time to Fly Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience. So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada . And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines. I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned and I won’t be booking any trips with them! Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs that should be included , NOT an extra expense. Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees then read this report via BBC. Truthfully people need to tell these companies NO . Even a handbag is next to the list. They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people . Festivals , Films and Fashion The festival season is winding down, but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it! The return of Clooney on screen in Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight. Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show! Of course there were other stars on the red carpet but no outstanding dresses . Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not sure what I be tempted to watch. Julia Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment. One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
