Co-Lab Thursday: The Bloggers Collaboration...TV

I can't believe that it is Thursday already. For today's Co-Lab Thursday I am collaborating with my fellow bloggers on the theme TV. 

Now many of you that live in the UK may have watched Britain's Got Talent and saw the most inspiring women that shocked not only the panel but the nation as she performed a Salsa routine that involved mind blowing lifts and drops. If you didn't see it then you will be thinking what is so special about this woman. Well she is 80 years of age! If you missed it check it out here. 



Watching this really got me thinking about another program that I watched on Channel 4 last year called Fabulous Fashionistas. The program looked at 6 woman that had an average age of 80 and how they are not conforming to society's view of how they should be.

For me, I found these stories really inspiring as these women ain't afraid to express their love for fashion and dance. We live in a society that is obsessed over beauty and age... everyone is always looking for the next youth preservative and believe that the older you are the more you should be a shrinking violet. Why can't we grow to old embracing our natural beauty and expressing ourselves in ways that give us pleasure.  


I take my hat off to these women as they are trying to change the way that we think. I really find these women inspirational and I really had to share their stories with you as I knew you would all feel the same way.

I would love to know what you think. Do you find these women inspirational? 

My collaborators on this topic are shown below, make sure that you check out their links and see how they have interpreted this topic.
