“U r aging backward sis!” said an admirer in the post’s comments section.
One person said, “You can’t be 70,” while another made the joke, “HOW is it possible you look like this?” I must instantly set down this piece of pizza.
A fan posted on Facebook: “YOU ARE THE MOMENT! CLASSIC ELEGANCE, GRACE, BEAUTY, AND COMPOSURE!
Another fan said, “Time bows down to you and stops moving.”
The star of upscale bridal attire recently declared, “I dye my hair, I’m [about to be] 75 years old,” on her Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus podcast, that she isn’t going to let the greys show in her hair anytime soon.
She said, “I would look like a bad skunk,” according to People.
The 74-year-old designer has created exquisite wedding dresses for A-list clients including Selena Gomez, Kim Kardashian, and Victoria Beckham. The pioneer of the fashion industry, who designed wedding dresses for these celebrities, expressed her desire to see her two daughters, Josephine, 30, and Cecilia, 33, marry.
“I hope I get to attend both weddings before I pass away. She stated on the show, “I really hope I’m still here and strong enough to do everything.
Vera previously disclosed that she never made an effort to keep her young “in a fanatical, obsessive way.”
“I started working in fashion when I was 19 years old. In an interview for BBC 100 Women in 2022, she stated, “Not in front of the camera, behind it.” “I never gave youth any thought, perhaps because I deal with the world’s most attractive ladies on a regular basis. And as a result, I see them more as my muses; perhaps this is a constructive way to deal with aging.
On June 27 of this year, the opulent wedding gown designer will celebrate turning 75. She revealed some personal details in the interview, saying that “work” is a component of her “magic elixir” that gives her a youthful appearance.
“I always said that: vodka cocktail, a lot of sleep, [and] work – work is the magic elixir,” she remarked in an interview with Elle last year. She also disclosed that she stays out of the sun.
Although I’m flattered that people find me to have aged nicely, that was never my intention. I stay out of the sun, drink vodka, and sleep. However, I enjoy working. She declared, “I don’t want to fit into one box.
The mother of two said to People in April that she and her husband are “cake people,” so dessert will undoubtedly be served for their 75th birthday party.
Plans for birthdays are not set in stone. 75 is a lot of strain, she said to the publication.
My girlfriend labeled me an ’embarrassment’ when I declined to cover her friend’s birthday meal at the restaurant
Hello everyone, my name is Calvin, and I’m 29 years old. Today, I want to share an experience that might sound rather unusual but it certainly opened my eyes to some underlying issues in my relationship.
My girlfriend, Sarah, who is 27, invited me to her friend’s birthday dinner at a fancy downtown restaurant. I was looking forward to a pleasant evening, but it unexpectedly turned into a very uncomfortable and insightful event.
Sarah and I have experienced our fair share of ups and downs, particularly around the topic of finances and dating. Traditionally, I have taken on the responsibility of paying for most of our dates, which seemed appropriate and was mutually agreeable at the beginning of our relationship.
This arrangement even extended to times when Sarah invited friends along; I would happily cover everyone’s expenses. Although it started as a small gesture, it later became a significant point of contention.
The incident occurred last Friday when Sarah texted me about joining her for her friend’s birthday celebration at a posh restaurant. I agreed, dressed up, and joined the party, which was lively and enjoyable initially.
However, as the evening progressed, I noticed the orders were becoming extravagant. I whispered to myself about the impending high cost as our table filled with expensive wines and deluxe meals.
As the bill approached, I discreetly told Sarah that I would take care of our share, believing this to be a generous offer. Surprisingly, Sarah asked, “Aren’t you going to pay for everyone? It would be the gentlemanly thing to do.”
I was taken aback by her suggestion. The table was filled with more than ten women, most of whom I barely knew. Paying for everyone seemed unreasonable. I calmly suggested, “I think it’s only fair if I cover our portion.”
The atmosphere became tense. Sylvia, the birthday girl, noticing the awkwardness, graciously intervened. “It’s okay, Calvin,” she reassured me with a smile. “I’ll handle the rest.”
Despite Sylvia’s intervention, I paid for Sarah and myself, and Sylvia covered the remaining bill. The tension was palpable as we left, and the ride home was uncomfortably silent.
The silence eventually broke when Sarah exploded with anger over my decision. “You’re an embarrassment! You had to pay for everyone; you’re a MAN!” she exclaimed, clearly upset and disappointed.
Feeling a mix of anger and disbelief, I responded, “It’s unfair to expect me to pay for everyone at a dinner to which I was merely invited.”
Sarah’s anger didn’t subside. “It’s not just about the dinner! It’s about stepping up, being a man! Everyone expected you to take charge, and you embarrassed me in front of them all! I can’t be with someone so weak,” she argued vehemently.
I tried to reason with her, “Sarah, this is absurd. You can’t seriously end our relationship because I didn’t pay for everyone’s dinner. Where’s the fairness in this?”
Her response was chilling. “Maybe I need someone who knows what it means to be a real man, someone who wouldn’t hesitate. If you can’t do that, maybe we’re not right for each other.” She then turned away, closing off any chance for reconciliation.
A few days of silence followed. Then, Sarah called. I hoped for an apology, but instead, she offered an ultimatum. “If you’re serious about us, pay for the entire dinner. Then we might discuss our relationship.”
Stunned, I replied, “Sarah, you’re asking me to buy my way back into our relationship? That’s not just about the dinner. It’s about proving something by paying a bill.”
Her sharp reply made it clear, “It’s about showing you’re willing to step up. If you can’t, this conversation is pointless.”
I realized then that this wasn’t just about the bill. It was about control and manipulation. “Sarah, this isn’t right. You’re turning our relationship into a transaction. I can’t believe you’re pricing our relationship.”
The phone call ended on a cold note, “Then there’s nothing more to say.”
The realization that our relationship was more about control than partnership was profound. In a turn of events, I later coordinated with Sylvia, the birthday girl, on a plan to teach Sarah a lesson about expectations and respect.
Sylvia invited Sarah to a lavish housewarming party, which ended with a request for Sarah to settle the bill, much to her shock. As she grappled with the demand, I appeared, echoing her earlier expectations of me, “Odd to pay for an event you’re just invited to, isn’t it?”
I paid the bill, highlighting a point about fairness and respect. Sarah approached me afterward, apologizing for her behavior and asking if we could start over. However, the experiences and insights gained were too significant.
I declined her offer, emphasizing my need for a relationship grounded in equality and mutual respect, and walked away. This decision marked a pivotal moment, leaving behind not just a relationship but an old version of myself, now more aware of the values I seek in a partner and the essence of respect in any partnership.
