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!

I may be late for Grandparents Day, but loving these beautiful souls is an everyday celebration.

They are my raison d’être—my reason for being—and the reason FlyGrannyBK exists. They’ve filled my years with laughter, pride, purpose, and more love than these 20 photos could ever hold.

The truth is, I’m only a Fly Granny because they made me one—and it will forever be one of my greatest blessings.
They are growing up so fast… The last photo is them now and I’m sure they’ll be taller next photo I capture-Lord willing🙏🏽.

Fall is here.
Was not a big fan of barrel pants because I’m on the shorter side, and I thought I might look a little squatty- but I’m loving these pants and sweater by @scoop from @walmart believe it or not.

Similar silhouettes were popular in the 80s and 90s.

Are you rocking the trendy barrel pants?
Trying it with my animal print belt, and a belt bag that happens to match perfectly.
Which do you like better???

I usually play this song in the morning to ground me in faith. It’s inevitable that there will be storms in life, so we must accept the rain along with the sunshine.
I am just feeling blessed and grateful. And glad to have my little buddy Rocky enjoying a moment with me this morning.

Have a blessed day, everyone!

Philippians 4:11-13 is in my spirit today:
“I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

With fall looming, thought I’d switch it up to straight hair. It’s been a while.
We all need a change every now and then, plus hubby gets a different woman!!😂
I like options!!!

This is just a little tribute to my daughter-in-love @vinniecedufresne

I never had any daughters until she graced me with her presence in my son Justin’s @dad_hat718 life.
She’s been my fashion muse, sounding board, wedding assistant, and voice of reason. She’s always ahead of the fashion curve…
She’s beautiful and smart as a whip.
And a great mother to my beautiful grandchildren🙏🏽.
Sometimes I jokingly refer to us as Naomi and Ruth.

Many don’t get along with their in-laws, but we don’t have that issue. So I thought it fitting to shout that out on this #TBT because by now we go way back!

The Bible says:
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.

Mother Satori is 108 years old? Come on now!!! And Sophoni Laurent ( baddiesofia01) is supposedly 78 and out here looking looking real smooth!

Well…they’re not real.

And let me tell you—they almost had me fooled too! The crazy thing is I can’t beliieve how many folks are duped and I can tell by their comments.

These beautiful AI-generated seniors may be entertaining and inspirational, but they are digital creations—not actual women living these fabulous lives.
So before you ladies start comparing your face, body, wardrobe or aging process to theirs—look again.
AI is getting very good, and any one of us can be fooled. Enjoy the fantasy, but know what you’re looking at.

Meanwhile, I’m 69, still fine, gray hair and all—and as The Originals sang for all my old-school baby boomers: “Baby, I’m for real.”

Let me know in the comments below if you thought these were real people👇🏽

Quick ride to Jerome, Arizona just over an hour from where we live here in Prescott Valley. It’s a cute little copper mining town,there’s all kinds of historic stores and relics and places that have copper jewelry, which I’ve been into lately.
I heard the population is 400😲
I heard that it is a haunted little ghost town, and they actually have haunted house tours.
The views are spectacular.
It would be nice to spend a weekend here before it gets too cold!!
