Beverly, Forest Trace

I have spent the past three days presenting my work at Forest Trace senior living community in Lauderhill, Florida. This was my first visit to a retirement community, and I wasn’t sure what to expect when I arrived. After spending a few days with the residents, I discovered that it was an inspiring and vibrant community of active and vital seniors. Beverly, one of Forest Trace’s best dressed residents, was born in New York and has been living in the community for over two years. I asked her what her style inspiration was, and she replied, “I love fashion. I have always loved fashion. You get up in the morning and you look in the mirror and you can’t ignore what you see. Why not make the best out of what you’ve got and try to always look your best?”

Karen Walker X Advanced Style

I have been a long time fan of Karen Walker eye wear, so I was thrilled when she approached me to shoot her latest campaign with some of the Advanced Style ladies. I cast some of my favorite women and shot all the photos in their own homes. I am proud to present The Karen Walker Spring 2013 Forever Campaign starring Ilona Royce Smithkin, Joyce Carpati, Linda Rodin and Lynn Dell.

Linda Machado

I met Linda Machado at my book signing in Phoenix last month. Here is a beautiful email that she sent to me:

“Flamenco dance is a
powerful, passionate, improvisational art form that allows me to explore
my individuality, sharpen my creativity and keep in shape.  I started
dancing when I was 40 and never stopped.  Flamenco dance is great for
balance, coordination, bone density, muscle toning and cardio – things
we need to be concerned with as aging women.  Plus the costumes are
incredibly fun!
While
I may be a bit “young” at 62, I consider myself an “Advanced Style
Apprentice”, learning from those older than me and inspiring those my
age and younger.  And with mentors such as the Advanced Style Women and
heroes such as you, I am more excited about the next 40 years than I was
when I was younger! ”
