More is more and less is a bore

 

I couldn't resist sharing this with you: another role model for me, something to strive for.
She is Iris Apfel, and I snatched this picture from the Advanced Style Blog by Ari Seth Cohen.

This lady looks more at 92 alive than I feel at 50. She is American, but half Russian too, owing to her mother. A rare old bird!. Exotic, indeed. And she still has a lot of energy! The quote "more is more and less is a bore" sums her up.There is a wonderful article in the Guardian about her, which may be read here. Apparently she became a celebrity at 83, many years after retirement.
