BEAUTY IS AS BEAUTY DOES... DOROTHY DALE KLOSS

On January 15, 2009, Palm Springs Mayor Steve Pougnet declared that day to be "Dorothy Kloss Day" for residents and visitors of Palm Springs, California. Dorothy is in the Guiness Book of World Records as The Oldest Still Performing Show Girl. She is 85 years old. She performs daily at the Plaza Theatre show, Palm Springs, California, in The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies.

This is particularly significant to me because Dorothy is a former Merriel Abbott Dancer,
just as I was once, a group of girls who trained their bodies to be strong, beautiful,
and apparently long lasting! As you can see from the photos, Dorothy Dale Kloss is one of
those very beautiful girls.

Don't you just love it? Stars in their sixties, seventies and eighties out there booking those gigs! Marian Seldes said "80 is the new 40" and I believe it. I say that to myself every day... I constantly meet people who are so magically younger than springtime! It's all about energy and positive thinking... it's all about setting aside those cliches from the past and filling your brain with possibility!

I rest my case.
