I find it nauseating that Prada is getting into the skin game. Why can’t they stick to clothes and accessories and focus on helping women dress well as they age?

Agree. Can we not celebrate women AS THEY ARE instead of desperately trying to return them to looking like children?

Couldn’t agree more.

Hi Christine! Found you in my comments section and I have to say it's been a delight poking around your newsletter. Your point of view is a breath of fresh air and I share so, so many of your sentiments. Re your question about my marketing career: it hasn't been nearly as impressive as yours! I clawed my way to the top at a large marketing company in my hometown and eventually started my own agency which I sold just this past summer. I had to bow out because my gut couldn't deal with how insidious and at times predatory the landscape was becoming! Seems like you'd be someone who understands. Happy to be sharing this space with you.

Brava on bowing out! Feels good to go solo and leverage your background here at substack — I love what you’ve written thus far. xx

P.S. Have you heard of Oldster magazine? I saw you mention Jess Defino, who I love, and Oldster is another wonderful resource about challenging societal norms and perceptions surrounding aging. https://substack.com/profile/86606288-oldster-magazine

You have gorgeous skin — and it’s obvious you have embraced sunscreen for decades!
