Raven...

A new ballet has emerged from the ever talented Wayne McGregor that, I am not too proud to admit, has got me very excited.

Raven Girl hails from a new fairytale about a postman who falls in love and has a daughter with a raven. And judging from the rehearsal footage released by the Royal Opera House it will not disappoint!

(I can't post the YouTube video as I'm using a tablet- will do later. But for now the videos are on the Royal Opera House YouTube channel)

Going Grey...

Going grey is one of the few certainties in life. What colour and when depends on your genes, but it will happen. So why the secrecy? The instant most women turn grey they turn to the dye hiding those shining silver stands.

It's true that grey can make a woman look older, but so can dyed hair which takes time and money to perfect.

So what should one do when the inevitable happens at the age of 23? I knew it would- both mother and grandmother went early in life.

Of course it is slightly different now than it was 30 years ago- recently celebrities and models alike have braved grey hair. But somehow it seems different when it is natural and not a choice.

So does a young woman hide her silver and risk a bad dye job or accept the fact and let it shine?
