Isn’t this what you’d like today? It’s too, too hot. Something long, cool and lovely to look at would be just the – pink gin and – tonic, maybe whilst reading Gin And Titonic on the NOWNESS Culture Blog, featuring more of the fabulous still life photography by duo Bohman+Sjostrand shown above. Alcohol is so deliciously accessible […]
MoreIf you have dexterity problems with your hands and find pierced, or even clip-on, earrings tricky to handle, these squeeze-on earrings, sold at Kabiri, might possibly be a solution for you. They are cute, and come in a heart shape from Coops Of London, as well as in gold and silver along with the rose […]
MoreSo refreshing to see Charlotte Rampling in the latest (and last) series of Dexter. She appears to be ageing without surgical modifications and is looking mighty fine in all her natural glory. OK, I know it helps a bit to have had her genetically blessed beauty as a base but kudos to her – the […]
MoreToo hot to do anything today but breathe, drink and chill to some fabulous music, like this: The Tony Lustig Quartet playing Duke Ellington’s “Single Petal Of A Rose” on the 2011 Sing For Hope video. I rationalise my inertia as a health issue – heat tends to affect neurological conditions adversely … really, it […]
MoreBored, bored, bored with seeing only young(ish), beautiful women everywhere and people mercilessly criticising older women.

Allied to an article in the Financial Times – Luxury profits from baby boomers: glasses are the new handbags – discussing the impact baby-boomer spending is having […]
MoreI am in shock. Desperate for plus size, reasonable quality, plain black, summer t-shirts in 100% cotton, I purchased the EZ V T by Planet, seen above, from the States. It has cost me c.£160! I hesitate to name the store I bought it from as they charge what might be seen as a perfectly […]
MoreI was going to blog about something else entirely today … you know, style, fashion, blah, blah, blah … and then I saw the image above. Fantastic, fabulous and what is more stylish than smart, inspired art initiatives? All is explained on Giants In The Forest website but, in brief, it’s about: Vision Mechanics’ interactive […]
MoreI have been seeing a lot of images of the stunningly beautiful Linda Rodin recently – she seems to combine style and ageing so effortlessly and without, apparent, surgery. I have nothing against surgery – it might be a great solution for some and people are free to spend their own money however they wish […]
MoreOw, my brain hurts. This has been a week of harsh realities for me and I am in the process of thinking again about how best to transition my ideas for Plus Black from concept to reality. I really need to focus on where I’m at which I guess I’d summarise as: Middle Aged. Menopausal. […]
