I finally sat down with the latest Talbots catalog and was pleased to see the issue featuring older women. Don’t get excited—it isn't a company policy change, as far as I can tell. It’s just for a special mother-daughter
Anne Hathaway and James Franco: Are We Their Role Models?
I didn’t see an ugly gown during the entire Academy Awards ceremony, did you? Everyone looked lovely. And Melissa Leo was the only over 50 actress to win an award, so not much to report on the Over 50 Front . (Except tha
