Fun Fashion Quote
I’m still thinking about this quote on aging from Suzanne Moore I read in The Guardian a while ago:
“A lot of rubbish is talked about getting older. Nora Ephron is the go-to person for women with crepey necks. Me? I prefer Ursula K Le Guin: ‘I am not ‘in’ this body. I am this body. Waist or no waist.’ That is a life lesson I would like every girl to learn. Le Guin also said: ‘Erase my age, you erase my life — me.'”
