We did almost everything together. His encouragement and unwavering support made this book possible. He pushed me into the limelight and then basked in my success.
He got much more of a kick from the accolades I received than I did. I miss him madly. Sleep well, sweet prince. I never expected to be called a fashion icon. I never expected museums to exhibit my clothing and accessories. I never expected to be a cover girl or the face of a cosmetics company in my nineties I just feel things in my gut and I do them. If something sounds exciting and interesting I do it — and then I worry about it later. Doing new things takes a lot of energy and strength.
It's very tiring to make things happen, to learn how to master a skill, to push fears aside. Most people would rather just go with the flow; it's much easier. But it's not very interesting. But you have to get up and move beyond the pain. If you want to stay young, you have to think young.
Get Iris Apfel on a Smucker's jar , cause the fashion icon is years old! And of course, she commemorated her centennial birthday in grand style this past week. And when asked about how it feels being years old, she replied it has only been a couple of days.
Apfel was born in New York City on August 29, He gave it to me. I was so thrilled, my God. Apfel eventually went on to study art history at New York University and attended art school at the University of Wisconsin. Christmas I got blinged. Carl and Iris were immediately attracted to one another, and their droll senses of humor are on display in Iris.
By February 22, , Iris and Carl were married. If you hang around long enough, everything comes back.

I don't believe in plastic surgery unless, God forbid, you're in an accident or you were born with a nose like Pinocchio. Otherwise, just to be nipped and tucked? It's so foolish, because after a while you get to look so pinched and nobody is going to think that you're 27 if you're You can't make your hands look younger. And what's wrong with white hair?
