Why are there people that I discover a bit late. I should have stumbled on Iris Apfel sooner than now. She is a fashion icon, an interior designer. What I consider the more interesting: she seems to have an interesting life (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_Apfel). I saw a documentary on her on PBS. She is vivacious and quick witted, especially considering her advanced age. It is the impression I got from her.
I am not a fan of bling and she have a lot of them. Well, seeing her made me conscious that bling may not suit me. I may not like bling, especially on me. On her, it work and she seems to like it. At least, there isn't any big dollars signs with rhinestones and gold. What I like most with her is her attitude. She is not a party girl but she seems to have a good time. She seems to be young of mind. She seems to be fun to be around. She still do some shopping and I think not everyone could do that in her age!
What I would be interested to talk with her: about history. She have lived in various eras and she had been an priviledged witness to history. I would like to hear her about what she think about famous people and various events of history. She must also have a lot of fun stories to tell about her life, little anecdotes. I am just happy not do her housecleaning. Her living space is filled up with clothes and various collectivles. She could be an artt dealer or an antique dealer all by herself!
Well, she is an interesting old lady that is keeping up with the times. I must salute her joie de vivre!
I think I will put her in my list of interesting personalities that lead interesting lives. she is an original person that followed her own path. It is what I like in a person.
