Women, even marvellous intelligent ones like all of us, are really good at finding things we don’t like about our physical selves and obsessing on them – but we all also have something we’re OK with, don’t we?
it's so refreshing to hear someone describe themselves as my exact body type in print! I'm also in need of some hair SOS so will take a look and purchase once my current stash has been used up/stolen by my daughters. Thank you!
Oh, I feel less alone! I always feel like the only freak with Mick Jagger hips and big boobs. Are you finding current fashions hell like me? Big sleeves and Tudor neck arrangements couldn't be worse for me.
I'm more ET than MJ ! - boobs, tummy but no waist, short skinny legs and nice elegant arms and wrists so I tend to roll my sleeves up like a junior doctor all the time as that's the bit I want anyone to notice! But yes - current fashion is bad news for me, too much fabric up top and it's a disaster. What I really need is some sharp Danish tailoring a la Cate Blanchet.
Oh my, I think we were separated at birth. I am exactly this with a flat bottom. I would love to have a curvy bum. My daughter once called me the Psammead... I long the clean narros lines of 90s clothes. But it is helping me not to shop.
I once marched out of salon flinging the cape behind after being told “menopause doesn’t change your hair, don’t be silly”. I was beyond furious. My hair has been FERAL post 45. It appears to have turned into fairy floss. I am glad to see these products come in small sizes to try because at this point a buzz cut is looking favourable.
Fairy floss is exactly it - as you can see from my before picture. The texture has completely changed. It's partly grey hair has a different texture, but I'm sure it's hormonal too. These products aren't cheap, but the difference they make is so visible for me, they are totally worth it. I'm happy to cut back on other beauty products to have these. I would love to know what you think x
My hair has recently started doing the same. Plus lots of static. I’m going to order these products right now! Thank you 🙏
Please let me know how you get on with them. I really hope they are as great for you as they are for me - and my 22 year old daughter xxx

and please let me know if you like the products. It's quite a responsibility to recommend things, but at least you know I'm not taking a cut!

Bella Freud just interviewed him for her podcast Fashion Neurosis. He’s great!
Isn't he?
