SCROLLING
• This week we lost another history-making fashion designer, Mary Quant (Öffnet in neuem Fenster).
• Jennifer Coolidge's brilliant year continues apace, this time with the cover of the Time100 issue (Öffnet in neuem Fenster). She told Mia Farrow (yep, you read that right) why this sudden success at 61 leaves her completely baffled (Öffnet in neuem Fenster).
• Love this piece about the significance of the local bench (Öffnet in neuem Fenster).
• No7 has launched another miracle skincare product that's got waiting lists up the wazoo. But does it do even a fraction of what it claims? (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) £
• Older women in the nude (Öffnet in neuem Fenster): the opposite of invisibility? (These images give me life.)
• Why you should ditch the bucket list (Öffnet in neuem Fenster).
• What nobody tells you about what menopause can (NOT WILL) do to your sex life. (Öffnet in neuem Fenster)
• How Everything But The Girl got their groove back (Öffnet in neuem Fenster). And a new album.
