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