The book by the perfectly named Charla Krupp was recommended to my friend S. by her best friend who swears by it.
Appearing regularly on Oprah, Charla Krupp has taken the US by storm since publication in March 2008. She has since tackled another taboo with How Never To Look Fat Again. Should we expect How Not To Look Poor soon to complete the series? Not one for "ageing gracefully" - ie accepting lines and sagging skin as a proud sign of experience, her stance on ageing is unapologetic: "ageing sucks"! She deals with "age management" and promotes the notion that appearance is what counts, not the feminist fight against age discrimination nor the notion that with age comes the confidence to truly be who we are.
In any event, she dispenses her tips with unbeatable energy and a confident prescriptive tone. I have not yet read the book but her tips seem very practical and sensible and she is fun to listen to. I would take her advice as foundation to build on: how to avoid certain fashion or beauty pitfalls but without forgetting one's personality and individuality.
He rather manic video on YouTube is quite entertaining.

Coming from a very different perspective, Anne Kreamer decided to let her hair go grey and enjoyed the consequences: a more authentic self-image, an affirmation of the woman she had become. I think she might also have found a new, much hipper hairdresser along the way!
