Midlife fashion commentary on fancy famous website

July 24, 2019 by Kate Mayer Leave a Comment

kathryn mayer on msn.com midlife fashion commentaryEvery once in awhile Facebook serves up a writing opportunity too good to pass up.

I’m not talking about the teeth-whitening strips or cool-sculpting or the never-ending bra inventory promising to uplift more than my sagging spirits.

Actually, I am talking about just that, because an assignment for an essay on why people shouldn’t tell women of a certain age what they can and cannot wear  – landed in my in-box, of which I have some thoughts, as you well know.

So I shared them, too quickly because – life and stuff – but still I kicked out the words and sent them in. Kinda sloppy, not my best, but apparently the editor, and subsequently MSN.com thought differently.

While this never did appear on the website, BetterYou.com, it did get syndicated on MSN.com so apparently – surprise, surprise – women of a certain age  GROWN ASS WOMEN read that too (and here’s hoping advertisers do as well.).

Read it here, and then you’ll understand my teeth-whitening grown-ass women references above.

Thanks, and thanks for sticking with me. This has been a long, rough road as of late, and I appreciate all of you asking where I’ve been. I’ll let you know as soon as I know.

Peace.
