GRAY IN L.A. Dreaming of Sharp Clothes in Korea!



Sitting in My California Garden

I understand that L.A. Women are a special breed, not just
Jim Morrison of the DOORS raved about them in an iconic Song, no, because I turned into one MYSELF.  A little bit against my will. You see, German or not, I once was a dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker, a gritty, pretty, unique, mind blowing City if there ever was one. Me & the City, we were an Item, in love, practically married, yet also having a tempestuous, passionate Affair at the same time.

Well, in any event, I'm not by Birth or upbringing an L.A Woman, just in Spirit. And that was and is enough for me - and apparently for the Koreans. So they picked me to complain to the Korean women and men from my classic age-group, which is, of course the BB (NOT Brigitte Bardot!) the BABY BOOMERS, about the Lack of cool Clothes in a Documentary. There are Millions and Millions of Boomers in the World - and they and us, and especially ME, want to really really dress smart, sharp, stylish, interesting, cutting edge, elegant, even witty - if they'd only let us!!

I'm lucky, I can sew and I DO. I'm not dependent on any old designers' misshapen Ideas about Clothes and the Old Girl. Not that we are in their prayers or Designs. Obviously NOT! So we have to do it ourselves, I guess. And being the Priestess of Old Chic (I'm totally bragging here just for FUN) and also being very talkative - to put it mildly - and a Writer, I was chosen among a few more Fabulous Females. I did a bit of a rant, among other things accusing famous Female Designers over 65 not to make Clothes for their OWN generation, which is indeed puzzling for me.


So the Korean Team came over to my fancy Art-Deco Landmark Building and shot part of that 2-hour Documentary that ran a few weeks ago on Korean Cable. I have absolutely NO Idea what they are saying in the Doc. All I know is My Opinion. And I think and hope that it rings true with you all, 


 My BELLA SILVERELLAS 

Here it is. Watch it!

CAREFUL! Sexy Silver Senior unleashed!

Photo: Beate Pilgreen Old, Old, Old! There's always a lot of talk about old age combined with the word Sex-Appeal - or rather - that supposed lack of it - as if the two can't be together on the same page - or in life for that matter. If you are actually old, or as the more polite version goes, "older" (to which I always say" "older than what?"), there comes a point of enormous, happiness-inducing acceptance of that fact, that simply makes you smile wickedly and with a certain triumph. You nod your head in acknowledgement, without  a shred of embarrassment or despair. "Yep, that's me", you say to the critical onlookers who always have something completely superfluous and uninspiring to blabber as if anybody has asked them - "any problems? If yes, get the f#ck out of my face and my life!" The very idea of having to look "hot" and "sexy" around the clock ist really boring and tiresome f or me. S...

YOUR FACE IS YOUR STORY - Keep it Real!!

First I wanted to write about men (especially the ones that  want to be "friends" on FB) but then I've decided to go for Beauty  - that is always a popular topic - even when it's about the Avoidance  of too much stuff and too much attention to it! This is something I've jotted down a few weeks ago for Ari S. Cohen's "Advanced Style" page - in a short form. Since there are many different readers for different websites and blogs - I dare to run here parts of it! But I realized that there are more nuances to the continuing story of what "Beauty" is and why it is so infuriatingly more important to us - than all lipsticks and  eye-shadows together! I have an uncomplicated relationship with beauty and cosmetics. Let's just say: Genes, Luck & Smarts .  Lucky that I am (thanks Mom!) I still have some (at 70) what is called "flawless" pale skin to brag about. I never smoked, never drank much alcohol (I only started...

To Date - or not to Date - Is it OK or STUPID?

Secret Dater, Female - Case-Study 790_%&$-@OK OK, I admit it. I have been in the dating zoo for a while - with a certain lack of enthusiasm and a fair share of ambivalence . You know how it is; LOVE being single, but wouldn't mind dating here and there. And like many others I was too cheap to pay for some fancy websites that promise that you will finally find the supposedly missing half of yourself (I personally haven't lost any piece of me yet, just my patience) in the form of some 64 year old rotund "readiforlove" guy with a jaunty hat and a Cocker Spaniel from Tarzana , CA.  Generally speaking, a fantastic name for a city where the ever so brief introduction "Me, Tarzan, you Jane" could lead to all kinds of steamy encounters. Yet, I declined, couldn't find my leopard bikini. And I also wasn't adventurous enough to go all the way  and  check out tinder and therefore having to fight off all those offers for a quickie in a Porsche w...
