Ladies!!! Put the fan away and sit down…No Sis, you are not having hot flashes!! You are getting a glimpse of our counterparts: Behold The Silver Men.
So, move over Silver Sisters and make way for these Silver Brothers to stand alongside us in the burgeoning Positive Aging movement as we light the path in the Silver Spotlight together. Gray haired salt and pepper men, celebrities, and high powered business men alike have long been deemed sexy and mature merely getting better with age while traipsing around with much younger arm candy. Silver Sisters have finally caught up, owning their glorious tresses and making a big splash on social media. And while the world is finally taking notice that aging and gray hair can indeed be beautiful, this is a new breed of silver haired foxes; men confident in style and swagger for the whole world to see. They are kicking it up a notch or two.
“The clinical research tells us that by the age of 50, most men will develop grey hair (Genetics Home Reference, 2017). Your hair color is determined by a pigment called melanin; a substance that hair follicles produce. Hair follicles are dynamic structures that reside in the dermal layer of your skin and made up of 20 unique cells. As you age, these follicles produce less melanin, thereby reducing color pigmentation. Some men will start to notice grey hair atop their head in their 20’s. More will spot whitish patches in their 30’s. And by the time you are 40, you will likely see (some) salt and pepper set in”. (From guycounseling.com)
Either that, or they start going bald. Not that baldness is a bad thing, but with the popularity of beards today, it adds a nice counterbalance to the baldness while showcasing their silver tinsel.
These brothers have defined their individual style, and not only are they looking Fly, but they are notably health conscious and fit.
So, I hereby give you permission to behold God’s magnificent creations without guilt!
Looking is free!
Whether bald or bearded, dread locked or tatted, each Silver Brother depicted here is making his unique silver splash in a big way:
Some are professional models like @orlandosilverfox who is as close to perfection as one can get. The word “Adonis” comes to mind with his chiseled body and face to match. (He also gives me a Prince vibe in some photos)(photo credit: Gunnar Gabrielsen)
@mrericcedeno, a silver model, sports gorgeous silver locs along with that enviable flawless skin AND smile.
I have been following @city.lord as he makes his way around colorful spots in Germany to capture great vibrant pics.
@alisudani just looks great with that silver crown and beard, and sports a modern twist to his classic style.
@franky_silverman is a model who wears a longer beard and sports rugged manliness with street style cool, and I am not mad at all those tatts!
@mrmoodydresser has impeccable swag and style as he bounces effortlessly between cool dapper looks and ultra-chic street style.
@biggrip69 has a unique and glorious snow white beard, keeps fit, and is a Deputy Sheriff…I feel safer already!!
@aldgoldie is a model who can sport clean classic handsome looks as well as rough and rugged ones
@tonsorialist_mrdexx is a NYC based Grand Master Barber and you can tell by his beard game and debonaire air. (Yeah, I had to look up “tonsorialist” too!)
@therealwinstonwarrior – apparently bald heads and beards are a thing, and Mr. Winston: multi-talented musician, artist, and more, knows how to work it all very well…
Just like Silver Sisters ditching the dye, men can put away their boxed dye and be confident that the gray doesn’t make them look old, they look Grayt!
It is truly all about mindset, attitude, self-awareness, and style. It can make all the difference between old and bold.
So go ahead and scoot over Silver Queen, and let that Silver King take his rightful place on the throne.
I know you will give your Silver Brothers a follow…
Like Silver Sisters, there are so many Silver Brothers to choose from it was hard to select them so I will most likely feature more Silver Brother in upcoming posts.
What do you think…do you want more???
Post your comments below, and submit your favorite silver brothers for my next post.
Smoochez!!!

Back when I was living in Brooklyn a few years ago, I found myself in an unexpected situation that left me reflecting on the perceptions of age and vitality. As I strolled down the street behind a group of high school students, I couldn't help but notice their slower...
Weren’t the 90s like 10 years ago? Nope. It was like thirty-something years ago! Swipe left for more…then and now. Miss Janet was in her prime, hit after hit… How did that happen?#tbt
Looking at these photos, I realize how much time we actually spend with our babies—and how fast it all goes by. Now I finally understand why my mother used to say she wished I would stay little. 😂
Kris was such a good, quiet, content baby. He hardly cried and even back then you could see that independent streak in him. Now he’s 33 Big years old!😲 (Swipe to last pic to see him now.)
Thanks for taking a little trip down memory lane with me. These old baby photos have been sitting in a box in my closet for years, so honestly… this might be the only way they’ll ever see the light of day! 😄
I’m grateful I get to dust them off and share these sweet little moments with you. 💛

At first, we laughed. “Did you take out the trash?”�“I don’t have any cash!” Cute… until it wasn’t.
Little miscommunications have a way of piling up. What starts as funny can slowly turn into frustration. Repeating yourself. Missing details. Feeling disconnected in your own home. The truth? Hearing loss as we age is more common than people talk about — and pretending it’s “no big deal” doesn’t make it go away.
On this #WorldHearingDay, we’re sharing something personal. Dave decided to try the Ceretone Core One Pro — an over-the-counter hearing device designed for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. No complicated setup. Discreet design and they sit in the ear, so his glasses fit comfortably.. Four hearing modes for different environments. And a battery that keeps up with real life But here’s what mattered most to us: We stopped missing each other. Conversations feel easy again. The TV isn’t blasting. Nature sounds like nature. And I’m not repeating myself five times a day (which, let’s be honest, was not cute). Hearing support didn’t just change what he hears.�It changed how we connect. This is our personal experience and is not intended as medical advice — just a reminder that clarity matters. And asking for support isn’t weakness. It’s wisdom. Because when you stop missing words…you stop missing moments. *This our personal experience and is not intended as medical advice.

Sunday Service Psalms 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Psalm 14:1 The fool has said in his heart,“ There is no God.”
The majesty of God’s creation speaks for itself. • Order implies intelligence. * Law implies a law-giver. * Design implies a designer. You don’t walk into a cathedral and assume a tornado assembled it. Earth rotates at roughly 1,000 miles per hour at the equator. And yet… you don’t feel it.
Gravity is silent. Invisible. Relentless. It holds: * You to the ground * The oceans in their basins * The atmosphere wrapped around Earth * The Moon in orbit * The planets circling the Sun * Mountains aren’t just pretty backdrops for Instagram. They: * Regulate climate patterns * Drive rainfall distribution * Anchor tectonic balance
Just some things to ponder if you think this earth was created by some Big Bang. I’m sorry but a big bang can’t even wash and put away the dishes.
Throwback Thursday… High School graduation in 1975 from the HS of Art and Design in NYC, a badge that I wear proudly. Students from all walks of life, all nationalities, all income levels, and all in pursuit of the love of art. ALL getting along!!💪🏽 These memories will remain with me forever. I have so many photos- I am the throwback Queen! PS: it looks like we all had great skin back then! No filters!!!😂 What are your best high school memories and in what city did you graduate? #brooklyngirl#growingupinnyc #highschoolmemories #1970 #tbt
This body has changed with time — softer curves, silver strands, stories etched in every line. And through every shift, I’ve never stopped claiming what makes me feel alive, desired, fully woman. Sexy isn’t a number on a birthday card; it’s the quiet knowing that I’m still here, still radiant, still vibrant, still worthy of feeling beautiful in my skin. It’s not about chasing youth — it’s about embracing the woman I’ve always been, and the woman I’ve become. If you’re reading this and wondering if it’s still possible… yes, beautiful. It absolutely is. Let’s keep owning our glow, one graceful chapter at a time. 💫 Who’s over 60 and feeling that quiet fire today?

I Thrifted this neon green dress, and I can’t tell whether it’s vintage or not. The fabric feels like those slinky knits from the 1990s early 2000s. Either way I’m not gonna keep it. It does not flatter my figure. IYKYK IF. It makes me look shorter, so I covered it with a cardigan and some knee-high boots to make it work. If you’re interested in this dress, send me a DM. It’s it says a size Large. #styleover60 #transformationtuesday#neongreen#fashionfauxpas

Reflecting back on my faith walk, I realize that my early introduction to the man named Jesus Christ and his life had a profound impact on me. I attended St. Agnes Parochial School, and these are slides of my first Holy Communion. I was around 7 years old. I remember Catechism class, and the amazing grandeur of mass at St. Agnes Church in Brooklyn. Those early years formed my reverence for all things spiritual. I’m glad my parents sacrificed and sent me to parochial school.
Although I am no longer catholic, this and my praying mother set the foundation for my faith walk today. Thank you mom, I can still feel your prayers! 🥲🙏🏽❤️
Because of the impact it had on me, I also sent my boys to catholic school. I pray it continues to impact their spiritual life as well.
You can see the backdrop of the Gowanus Housing projects where I grew up. The last slide is me with my mother’s best friend, Miss Amparo.
Do you have a childhood faith memory? Please share below.
Sunday Service. A little late, but this is another one of my favorite verses. I’ve been at rock bottom a time or two in this ole life. We all have, haven’t we? If not for God, and His word keeping me afloat during those times, I don’t know where I’d be. We can’t trust in or count on man, can we? But God…🙏🏽
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
Can I get an Amen? Have a blessed week and stay warm Fam.❤️

Time has refined me, not reduced me — and every year has brought more clarity, courage, and freedom to live life fully on my own terms.
I finally understand that confidence isn’t about looking young… it’s about loving the woman who made it THIS far. And let me tell you — she’s fearless, she’s curious, and she’s come a long way.
If you’re waiting for permission to begin again, here you go: wear the outfit, book the trip, start the thing, say YES to yourself.
Because growing older isn’t the loss of youth — it’s the privilege of freedom.

The choice to embrace your natural silver strands is nothing short of revolutionary. It’s like telling the world, “I am comfortable in my own skin, and I’m here to slay.”
