A blog dedicated to seniors who know how to be stylish
I came across this blog earlier today. It looks like photos of people found at random around town or photos submitted by readers.

"Advanced Style" - Proof from the wizened and silver-haired set that personal style advances with age.

1. Grandma singing Bjork is a little scary.
Edited on Fri Jul-17-09 08:34 PM by MercutioATC
...but, then, old people generally creep me out.

Yes, I know I'll be old in the not-too-distant future. I'm just being honest.


(ON EDIT)

To be precise, old people creep me out when they do certain things...like singing Bjork karaoke tunes or dressing like teens and such.

I don't expect that to be any less offensive...I just wanted to clarify.

2. Honesty is lovely -
and, for what it's worth, chances are good that you creep out quite a good number of people.

It all evens out in the end, but, honestly, honey, what a sappy thing you said!

3. You and I are certainly cut from different cloth.
I freely admit that mine is a bit more coarse than yours :)

5. ...as you've expressed on no shortage of occasions.
In the spirit of honesty, I don't find yours as much unappealing as fundamentally different.

7. Odd to enter a conversation by saying that you don't give a shit...
But thanks for the heads-up :)

11. So you are. Apologies.
Not that it makes any difference, but I'm comfortable with the fact that I'll be old in the near future and some people will be creeped out if I do certain things.

I guess I don't have a great concern about what others think of my opinions or actions, and sometimes I'm less than diplomatic when I blurt out my spur-of-the-moment opinions.

13. Oh eleny, thanks for posting that. When I worked in NY some of the
most wonderful looking people were walking around very unaware of the striking impression they made. Great pics.
