Christmas in Style!

These two got their Christmas going ON!!

Well done.

& Happy holidays to everyone from us here at Style Geriatrics. Xx

The Older, The Wiser?

Not in this case. I caught this ol' fella just outside a cathedral in Bezier, displaying the classic DON'T... Sandals and socks?? They both kind of defeat the purpose of one another don't they?

Or maybe he knows something we don't....;)

A Little Snooze.....

Holy cow, did I just hear the cutest story! My mom has her 80+ year old friend visiting her, Hilda. The cutest roundest silver-curled Aussie lady ever. They were on opposite sides of my parents senior retirement pad sitting on patio stools pulling weeds from potted plants. My dad came outside, passed Hilda, to go to the other side of the house to talk to my mom for 15 minutes or so- and when he came back around to go inside he startled Hilda who went over to my mom to say "Gennie, I didn't see Joe come outside before"
A few moments later, when my mom mentioned to my dad that Hilda didn't seem him go outside of the house, he replied "That's because she was sound asleep".

She was taking a wee snooze in the Florida sunshine.
awe.

Berlin Babe...

Wilma, I can't find my eyebrow pencil, can i borrow yours?

B-I-N-G-O!!

Thursday night was the anniversary party for the Palm Beach Orchid Society....SHIN-DIG!

The theme was "Luau" and there were Mumu's galore.

Can someone say buffet(boo-fey)?

The action was pretty still until after dinner was over...

Then someone pulled out the cards for a game of....
Orchid Bingo!

The first little old grandpa to win announced his success by saying quietly "my wife says I have Bingo" (....precious)
Fun was had by all. There was also a silent auction. As you can see, things got a little heavy between Kitty and Alma for a white sphacelatum. Don't mess!!

Can't wait till next year!

Fossil Vivant a la Fete~

French carnies are adorable.... look!

10 ducks and you win a prize! Yeah, a toy gun is cool, but these pictures are better!

Patrons de Coursan

This is Josette and her husband Jean-Jaques. The have lived in Coursan their whole lives. When I told them the name of the family I am working for- they recited to me my address. Yes, the town is that small... hahShe didn't want me to faire un photo parce que elle n'est pas habillee! (she's not dressed!) but I couldn't resist...

He is 84 years old and a bit cross-eyed. I fucking love him!

I was actually shopping for one of these mumu's this morning at the Super-U. Only 9.5 euros....hmm... but I couldn't find one under a size 46 and they fell way below the knee... meh.....
Dressed or not, I think she looks great, and I will leave the mumu's to the sweet old ladies~!

The Irish way

This is some STREET GANG! I think this will be me and Bram's friends once we've reached the "silver years".

Espana~

This fly-guy was hangin out with all the hip kids at the Sonar Festival in Barcelona. Caliente`

Vide Grenier market shoppers....

i would wear that mumu in a second... hence we are shopping at the same market. (yes it is a market, i know it looks slightly like a construction site..)
but i do hope she's searching for a new handbag.

her husband was just classic, simple- matching belt and shoes, and the hat adds the perfect touch of style. shortly after this he asked me if my camera was a phone and a camera too. no, pas de telephone,c'est seulement un camera ;) too fuckin cute.

Le tour eiffel- tres charmant....

This little lass gets kudos for her charm, i love it!

Babes in Beziers...

Waiting for the light to change is tres boring.... je sais...


She must have been a model, look at her stance!




and this one below, I love...

I think with a slight change of shoe, and minus the collar on her shirt, this little lady and I had on the exact same outfit...


but this lovely lass gets my style award for the day...

I'm not sure if you can see it, but she's wearing purple leather and would you look at that chic haircut? and I've got to give the woman credit for those shoes, she's got to be pushin 70! Bravo.

Port de Clichy, Paris....

I caught this one coming out of the "librarie" a Port de Clichy in Paris. Still kicking and still reading. It's apparent that she aims to keep her mind as sharp as she looks! ;)

Barcelona, Spain

He also does Cher and Madonna....
---upon request.

Senior? Senor?? .....it's all the same to me.

More to come from Espana~ xx

Sporting some serious chops and a tweed jacket in the sun at the tulip park (Holland).

This guy is the epitome of "senior street style"! I love the wrap-around shades... essential, practical, and I must say, the man looks good! This seasoned Miami Beach veteran gets a tip of the cap from me!
So fuckin cute I just want to kick 'im! but no, I didn't hit em... he made it safely!

Senior Stealer!

Ever wonder where all those newspapers at Starbuck's disappear to?? Probably not, but at the one on 16th and Alton, they vanish into this thrifty lady's purse!...



She gives a new meaning to "thrifty", either that or the word "thief", I can't decide....

Ps. her turban is amazing...

Lunchtime!!

Leonard and Elsa go out to their favorite hotspot, The Deli House, in Lake Worth Florida.

Navy blue shoes!

This nan isn't just window shopping... she is out and about- gettin' shit done and makin' shit happen! Done at "An Apple a Day", I'm sure she's now on her way to "Epicure" for some rugulah. Everett and Josephine are waiting..
I especially love how she's matched the color of her scarf to her super comfy, leather Naturalizers! Some women never lose their style, and it's evident that this granny's still got it!

Road Closed...

I think we can all agree that construction on Miami Beach (or anywhere for that matter) is annoying...

Even the seniors can't escape it's inconvenience. This cute granny fought through construction to make her way back to her beach front condo on Collins...

My new idol...

This lovely lady is Barbara. I met her at Soyka (a local restuarant) and I couldn't stop fussing over how fabulous she looked! I mean look at her! She even has a matching pink headband and gold studs on her shoes! I hope to look half as good as her when I am her age (if I make it). I asked if I could take a picture of her and she even offered to pose for me!

She used to own her own modeling agency so she knew how to work the camera.

We got to talking and I found out that she dated song composer Jimmy Van Heusen in the 1940's and it was he who introduced her to her future roommate, the rising star, Marylin Monroe. She roomed briefly with Marylin in California and said that she was "an angel".

Barbara, you are an angel and I am your biggest fan! :)

Replay!!

awe, Brams, the couple from below....
I just saw them in the street- walking arm-in-arm again.....
and they SMILED
as I passed!!
I wonder if they remember me taking their picture last week.
so cute.

Caught by the Paparazzi

Caught! by the paparazzi.
Moustache ? check.
Cap ? check.
Flanel plaid and silk tiger print? double check!

You know what Brams? ....Spring fashions are just around the corner.

Free Record Shop...

Look at where she shops... ;)

A Rear View

I cought these two little munchkins just seconds too late. And how cute is their arm and arm stroll? But even better? ...All those curls!!

At the Charlatan in Gent..

Haha! I LOVE this guy!!! I couldn't resist snapping this shot. Mish and I turned around from the bar and saw him just standing there!... he was swaying with the music, or maybe just trying to stand up... We saw him passed out on a speaker in the corner on our way out, I blew him a kiss. I don't know if you can see it but his beard is pretty amazing.

Who's hotter??...

I don't know Mish, she's pretty hot.... but you may have her beat with your babushka hair wrap, it's a tough call... ;)

A rainy day in Gent?

It rains a lot in Belgium. Look at him- holding her bag......such a gentleman.

Barcelona 2006

I caught this spicey seasoned spaniard enjoying his day at the beach in Barcelona last summer. Check out that hat! The whole group ate their popsicles (you can see Conchita eating hers to the left) and then slowly piled onto their limo bus.....so sweet!
