Quote of the week: Daphne Selfe
— by Alyson Walsh
Good to see Daphne Selfe in the December issue of Red magazine. The 85-year-old model was also in conversation at the Mirror Mirror conference last week (write up coming soon, promise) and her comment on ageing made me smile:
‘Growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional.’
Hear, hear.

Lady of Style – yes, I had Malware problems but that was all cleared by Google over a week ago. I've asked the experts, and any remaining problems are down to 'clearing your cache.' I'm a bit of a Luddite but think that means you have to clear the history on your computer (?)

Lovely photo and quote. She's definitely my role model – I'd love to be just like her in 20 years' time!

Three years ago I had a troll commenting that "long hair at your age did you no favours at all". I was all of 44!
I bet they're combusting with rage at Daphne. - Vix says:

Daphne looks marvellous and it was amazing to be at the Mirror Mirror conference with all those amazing women present. I have tried to email you Alyson, but it bounced back.

A variation on the great quote:
You can only be young once, but you can always be immature.
I try to follow this religiously!
- Elle says:
I love that she's kept her hair long as well…nearing 50 and wondering if I should cut my long hair – she's an encouragement to just keep it. I love the outfit on her as well!
- Valerie says:
Great photo – she looks so vibrant and love the outfit!
- That's Not My Age says:
V Rising – my inbox was full, please try again!
Anne – yes, I'm going to make it my mantra.
