Hi Sherrie, I've followed you since our meeting in San Francisco, on your book tour. Thanks for commenting on this. Just last night I was watching a special on public TV about the queen of soul: Aretha Franklin. One thing, despite her challenges with the weight issue and resultant fit problems with clothes, she adapted and changed her look and style--along with her music--to the times. But in this new age, it is no surprise that, even in our current election, there is talk about this mysterious word called "change"(which means so many things to different people) What I liked about your book is that you describe how to create change and meld with the coolness of the current, but at the same time to remain classic. I wonder why a celebrity boomer, and other high profile people, hide "one piece" of hair with a hat, or in some cases, tack it down with glue. I also wonder why they think that black t-shirt is going to hide that big gut... There is nothing like a sharp celebrity who is a boomer but keeps their dignity and self respect, but at the same time, are able to keep up with the young and fabulous. What I'd like to see you do, if you can, on this venue, boomer girl, is to show a wardrobe redo of how you would remake this celebrity. Maybe boomer girl would give you the platform to show the actual clothing items recommended. I'll bookmark this site for sure: to keep up with your articles. Sandra W.
