INSTAGRAMMERS PLUS/ FASHION, SOCIAL MEDIA

Are you a follower of instagrammers?

I admit I have a few favourites I check out now and then. but I am not a big follower of instagram really. When you look at fashion most instagrammers are probably in the ages from 20s to 30s. Its not usual to see anyone much older , I don't think.

There are perhaps a handful of women over the age of 40 , that were either fashion models -Christy Brinkley, Claudia Schiffer or fashion editors and designers or celebrities. But I have to say, I find it interesting to see more ages shown. It adds to the imagination, something different, a different style.

One article that caught my eye was about a an Indian actress who has a instagram feed, and she is a mature senior woman. She has become popular with her looks , but some looks are not so welcome. Reason being she is a Senior , lives in a conservative country where at a certain age you have to look a certain way or dress a certain way. In one photo she is wearing a denim dress, and some people did not approve of it. WHY? She started to get trolled because of these photos.

Hard to imagine that mindset still exists in the 2020s, Personally I think she looks great for her age! So more power to her.

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching.
