"I can be brand new. Whatever."

Betsey Johnson's way of being 83:
@advancedstyleofficial I had the honor of visiting the legendary @betseyjohnson @iambetseyjohnson at her Malibu home. We chatted about aging and fashion, and she even did her iconic splits. I have loved Betsey since I was a little kid. I left our visit even more in awe of her energy, wisdom, and creative spirit. Check out Betsey’s exiting immersive pop up event in NYC from March 27-29th at 131 Greene Street. #advancedstyle #betseyjohnson ♬ original sound - Advanced Style

I like her. What I'm seeing here at Althouse today is refreshing. Creative, off-beat people who probably lean left politically, but who can share human experiences and a laugh in a way that transcends ideology, which burdens and makes insufferable so many other creative types these days.

When you have dementia, every day is "brand new."

RCOCEAN II કહ્યું...

She's absolutely right. All that matters is feeling good and having "great energy". Everyone gets old and that cant be stopped.

Yancey Ward કહ્યું...

I hope that I am as energetic and lively at her age.

Temujin કહ્યું...

She had me at the splits.

Wince કહ્યું...

Pre-Chavez old school. She did her split without a mat, yoga or any other kind.

CJinPA કહ્યું...

Charming gal. Had to click on the tag to see she's "a designer." Clothes? Only two posts in the tag.

Very Cool! Betsey Johnson ,her long-standing public activism and brand values reflect a socially liberal and community-focused worldview.

I wore oodles of Betsy in the eighties. Wish I had kept a few.

I was thinking of Beverly Johnson, and when I saw the Althouse clip, I was....puzzled.

I have concluded DD45 and TBF are the same commenter.

I always enjoy the Sybil-like vibe of a Proggy commenter cutting and pasting….

I clicked on the Betsey Johnson tag and it took me back to the time when this very comment section was briefly… rebranded? It’s only been five years. It seemed longer than that now.

…remember why. Never forget…

Lem Vibe Bandit કહ્યું...

I wonder if her “dream house” is also slowly sliding into the ocean.

Leslie Graves કહ્યું...

That was a real treat.
