An outtake from the April 20, 1959 fashion feature: “Two-faced Swimmers in Crazy Caps.” According to LIFE, “The caps are the invention of Betty Geib, a Long Island housewife, who originally made them to amuse her three children.” (Ralph Crane—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #fashionfriday #1950s #50sfashion

We have this idea of ‘successful aging,’ that it should be a prolongation of middle age: Don’t get sick, stay active, keep in touch with your friends,” Dr. Ardelt said. “But eventually that’s not always possible. For many people, the argument is that if I cannot be like I was in middle age, I don’t want to enter old age. But you take something away from the last stage of life. Older people still have a lot to offer to us, even if only how to die and age gracefully.

Dr. Monika Ardelt from The Wisdom of the Aged in The New York Times

Some artwork of Etel Adnan, a 90 year-old Lebanese-American poet, essayist and visual artist. She's arguably the most important Arab American writing today. "Abstract art was the equivalent of poetic expression; I didn't need to use words, but colors and lines. I didn't need to belong to a language-oriented culture but to an open form of expression."
