Gray is the New Blonde – The Movie

My Interview with Director/Producer Victoria Marie

For my very first Silver Spotlight Interview, I’m featuring Victoria Marie’s groundbreaking documentary Gray Is the New Blond a film that is truly changing the narrative around gray hair and aging.

There is no doubt a gray hair revolution afoot, and in this film, Victoria tackles the age-old perceptions around gray hair and why she chose to be dye free and natural in the eternally youthful entertainment industry right in the heart of Hollywood.

I was going to be in California last January when the movie premiered, so I decided to attend, and boy was I in for a treat! Gorgeous and glamorous silver women (and men) graced the theatre in full regalia. It was my first Red Carpet experience, and I was fully present, taking it all in.

Just one year into my gray hair journey, I got a glimpse of what was to come while observing women fully transitioned to silver hair in all of their splendor-proud, vibrant, and amazing.

If I had any doubts before, I knew then that I had made the right decision, and I would never dye my hair again. I saw all of the Silver Sister Stars that I had been following on Instagram who were in the movie like the lovely @rosas4k @vickieheath and @anna.the.gray to name a few.

This documentary is like no other, exploring gray hair perceptions in media, in beauty, and in every day life experiences. It explores some of the historical perspectives in advertising and contrasts it with how far we have come. It is long overdue, and it showcases gray hair as a beautiful thing to be coveted and shown off instead of hiding it in shame. A new breed of unapologetically fabulous gray-haired ladies is coming out from the shadows and are boldly strutting their stuff, just like the unforgettable intro to the film.

There is much more work to be done, but in this excellent film, Victoria breaks the ice and busts the door wide open for the Silver Spotlight to shine brightly through!

Sunday Service.
Good times and bad times come for all of us in this life, but I find comfort in this verse:
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 ESV
It doesn’t mean that all of our problems are going to be solved, but it is a comfort, knowing that we’re not
carrying the burdens alone.

This post is a tribute to my beautiful little sister @travelladyshops
Her commitment to excellence and consistency in posting is unmatched.
Although we inspire each other, I am truly inspired by her tenacity and love of fashion. I don’t have the opportunity to meet too many influencers in these parts, so it was such a pleasure connecting with her. She re-ignited my passion for fashion! Thanks Nancy!

Exactly 3 years ago. In the midst of my social media life-getting used to being in front of the camera-out front and center.

For most of my life, I played it safe behind the scenes… kept myself small, let other people define me, fit me neatly into whatever box was handed to me. From the outside, it probably didn’t look that way—but inside, it was sitting there, growing louder every year.
Then somewhere along the way, I stepped out. This space—this platform—pulled me out of hiding and pushed me to finally show up as myself. No box. No shrinking. Just me… and I’m not going back.

Today, I move differently. If I feel like posting fashion—I will. If I want to talk about marriage—I will. Brand campaigns? Absolutely… when it aligns. And if I don’t feel like it? I simply won’t. That’s the freedom that comes with finally knowing who you are and not needing permission to be her.
As Philippians reminds us: “I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.” (Philippians 4:11)
And that’s exactly where I am in this season at 69—content, grounded, and deeply blessed.

My mini schnauzer loses his mind over salad… watch the switch
It’s the sound for him. Not steak… not chicken… a SALAD bag. The minute I open it, here he comes like he pays bills in this house. And for a second, he’ll act like he was raised right… waiting patiently, taking it nice and gentle like a gentleman.
And then? Something snaps. Suddenly it’s survival of the fittest over romaine lettuce. I have to remind him—sir… this is not your last meal. Gather yourself. 😭🐾�Anyone else got a dog that forgets their manners the moment food is involved?

When the fabulous Nancy @travelladyshops said she was coming to AZ, I was so excited! We’ve been following each other for years now, and I always enjoy her style and travel posts, so meeting her in real life was a joy!
I’m in Prescott Valley, and there aren’t so many influencers out here that I know of, so I really looked forward to enjoying some time in Scottsdale. We packed a lot into one day from a great breakfast, then going to the McDowell Sonoran Desert area to check out the cactus… You gotta look at some cactus when you’re here in the Arizona desert! Then we had lunch @_oliveandivy and after that cocktails @platform18 @centurygrandphx
We packed a lot into one day, but that’s how we do! The only thing we didn’t do was… Shop😂😂😂 but I’m sure she’ll fit it in.!
Had a great time Nancy… until next time😘😘😘
