Finally, a manufactured observance I can get behind.

Too bad I missed the kick-off on February 1st, but thanks to Donna at yadadarcyyada for pointing it out.

In 2020, for my 65th birthday, I celebrated one of the coolest, spunkiest broads of all time, Ilona Royce Smithkin, who was turning 100 that year. Sadly, she passed away in 2021, but what a glorious life she had!

Betty White, another fabulous S.O.B., left us on New Year’s Eve, 2021, a few weeks before her 100th birthday.

Then there’s my favourite spunky old broad. We met in 1976 and remained close until her death in 2021. There was a 20 year age difference between us, but we were true soul sisters. R.I.P. Corrie! Your passing has left a huge hole in my life.

      1. Glad to hear the SAD lamp helped a bit. I use mine for about 4 hours on the dull afternoons, until it gets dark outside. I have it placed to the side of the computer, and on a fairly low setting. Like anything, it seems to work better on some days than on others.

  8. Debbie,

    What a hoot! I loved your featured SOBs and the two videos were wonderful, especially enjoyed Donnalou’s hilarious song. 😀 Age is a just a number, one’s true age is reflected by how one lives! Thanks for the smiles, my friend.

  10. I love this post! I never heard of the first lady but she is spunky. Betty White is Betty White and the musical video with the older ladies is great. I love these men who know how to dress and love what the one man said, “You’re lucky to get old” which is true. Despite pain and operations etc… one is lucky because death didn’t grab us when we were young like so many others, less fortunate. Excellent post.

    1. Thanks, Birgit! 😀 We are indeed lucky to get old. It certainly beats the alternative. Ilona was a Polish immigrant, artist and bon vivant who left a large impression on the world.

  12. I was just listening to your podcast. Lovely anecdotes. Luke’s story made for a heartening story.

    The S.O.B. list is so inspiring and gorgeous. Loved Ilona’s video. She was so charming and I loved that bit about talking to her body, which I do too. And taking care of her eyelashes. So epic. :))

    Have heard this one by Donnalou Stevens. Cute and funny.

    This is a great post Debbie.

    Have a fabulous month ahead! <3
