2 h. ago Celebrities like Andie MacDowell and Pamela Anderson are all for the grey revolution – are older women caring less about what people think?

Now that I’m in my 50s, I care less about how my appearance is perceived by society. It’s a subtle shift from age empowerment to age liberationI am noticing a growing movement where women are less concerned about looking their age, whether it’s makeup-free Pamela, silver and chic Andie Macdowell, or Ashley Judd not caring what we think about her swimsuit-clad mature form in a splashy Instagram frolic.In fact, it almost seems like older women are caring less about what people think about their appearance, despite other age groups feeling less confident than they did a decade ago. This isn’t to say that older women don’t want to present themselves in fashionable and stylish ways like their younger counterparts; they’ve just probably grown a little tired of the narrow societal expectations of having to look the youngest they possibly can.

6 h. ago Thomas Frank off to perfect league start as Richarlison helps Spurs beat Burnley

It’s hard to imagine how this could have gone any better for Thomas Frank. In front of an exuberant home crowd still basking in ending their long wait for a trophy, a breathtaking bicycle-kick from a rejuvenated Richarlison helped seal a convincing victory in the Dane’s first Premier League match in charge of Tottenham.Spurs’ new £55m signing Mohammed Kudus was also outstanding as he created both of the Brazilian’s goals before Brennan Johnson rounded things off against a Burnley side that proved a tough nut to crack. After conceding the opener to Richarlison – who was a bit-part player under Ange Postecoglou last season and had been linked with a move away this summer – in the 10th minute, Scott Parker’s side had their chances against a defence that creaked at times. They ultimately paid the price of their profligacy but will be encouraged by this display. Continue reading...
