00:00I often get asked, how can you look like this at 70, and I don't know what that is, because

00:11this is just me.

00:12My personal belief is that I get better with age.

00:15That's it.

00:16The minute you give up, it's over.

00:17Okay, so my outfit today, look, it's going to be a bit of a cool day.

00:23Love this.

00:24This is such a cool outfit.

00:25Look, I feel cool.

00:27I intend to dance the night away with that really fine heel.

00:33I might have to find something else, but not a bad look.

00:36First try on for my birthday dress.

00:42And of course, my accessory.

00:43No, it's not my bag.

00:44My accessory is my beautiful husband.

00:45Come over here, darling.

00:57I like the rain hat with my hair down.

01:02Can you look at this amazing jacket?

01:10Okay, so you can see how everything is.

01:12I look like I've shrunk.

01:14I probably look like that every day anyway.

01:16I just don't intend to show you, because I only want to show you the good stuff.

01:19Anyway, so the first thing I'm going to do is roll these sleeves right up, because you

01:25have to see that underneath all this fabric is me.

01:30There we go.

01:31Now you can see where I am in there.

01:33I have just a simple little top under there.

01:36And that's my look today.

01:48Every single day, there is something special about you.

01:51Lovely bling.

01:52Chucky necklaces, aren't they just amazing?

01:55Printed pants.

01:56Good printed pants at Animal Print.

01:57Best print of all time.

01:58I'm going to go, because I like it.

02:00You know, yeah, I can do something different.

02:02This is cool.
