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???

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...
#ThrowbackThursday (even though it’s Friday!) to my son Kris @krisplashed—wasn’t he the cutest little guy? And now look at him… grown, fine, and flourishing in NYC! 🗽✍🏽 He’s a busy sportswriter these days—traveling, working, living that booked and busy life—so no recent photo with me, but a side-by-side will do! I practically had to beg him to take these photos at the airport!!! We stay connected through good ol’ FaceTime. That mama-son bond doesn’t clock out. ❤️ Hard to believe how fast 30+ years go by! He’s out here adulting, and I’m still out here reminding him who taught him everything he knows. 😉 Some things change, some things don’t! Look at us now!!!! #TBT #BoyMomChronicles #BookedAndBusy #FaceTimeFamily #ProAging #KrisGotNext #NYCSonAZMom #FamilyFunny #SportswriterSwag #FlyGrannyBk#Brooklynnatives#brooklynbornabdraised #over60
#ad I’m not out here trying to turn back time. I’m living every year out loud—with care, with intention, and yes, with some serious under-eye support.
RoC’s AI Skin Tool gave me my skin age—and reminded me just how powerful eye care can be. The eyes tell the story first. They deserve love. This RoC Retinol Eye Cream? • Reduces wrinkles by 50% • 90% saw dark circles fade in 4 weeks • Tackles lines, puffiness & circles • Under $30—no fluff, just results.
Aging is a privilege. And I’m giving myself the best care to match this full, fabulous life I’ve lived. @rocskincare #roc_partner #flygrannybk #eyesfirst #proaging #skincareover60 #rocretinol #rocskincare
💥 Starting June with a bang and a pop! 🎉 Took these photos a while ago. Looking forward to brighter days ahead as we embrace the beauty of resilience and the promise of summer. Life is all about bouncing back and pushing through, no matter our age! Let’s celebrate vibrant living and a positive outlook over 60. Together, we can thrive and shine!✨ #over60#JuneKickoff #Inspiration #Positivity #VibrantLiving #Resilience
If you’ve spent any time with me, you already know—I’m serious about my coffee ☕️✨ A little morning coffee ASMR here…I started out with a classic drip coffeemaker, but now I’m living that French press life—bold, smooth, and intentional (just like me 😌). And yes, I’m officially graduating to a borosilicate glass kettle—because even boiling water should feel elegant. Next on my wishlist? A coffee maker with a built-in grinder. Fresh beans only, baby.
Trust me, you don’t want to see me before I have my coffee-( and I don’t want to see you either!) 😂☕️
You can find all my coffee must-haves in my Amazon shop—link in bio. Got a grinder/maker combo you swear by? Tell me below. Don’t keep the good stuff to yourself 💬👇🏽
Just a little break... but now I’m back and the summer hair is out to play ☀️ The weather’s finally behaving, and so is my hair—curly, carefree, and catching that Arizona sunshine just right. And can we talk about these earrings?! A gift from my high school classmate Lee Hairston at our 50th reunion 💕 Check him out at @lee_hairston_nyc
Sometimes you just need to step back, recharge, and come back shining ✨

The struggle is real y’all… It ain’t always roses 🌹 🌹 We gotta laugh at ourselves. This is real life. Note to all the single ladies out there. It ain’t always roses 😂😂
When we first got married, we fell asleep nose-to-nose like a rom-com. 💑 Now? Someone’s snoring, someone’s stealing the covers, and somebody’s about to get elbowed. 😂💤 From spooning to separate climate zones — marriage is real, y’all! #MarriageHumor #ThenVsNow #CoupleGoals #RealLove #SleepStruggles #MarriedLife #RelationshipComedy #SnoringChronicles #CoverWars #CouplesOver60 #Flygrannybk #babyboomers#couplegoals
It’s time to take a break from all the heat styling and give my hair a breather for a couple of months. I do this every year, plus it’s a whole new look when I get tired of the straight hair. It’s also a little more worry, free during humid and rainy summer days. I usually do a twist out, and that will last a couple of days before I have to refresh it, but it’s a lot more carefree than straight hair Happy summer y’all but summers a little late starting.It’s still a little chilly here in Arizona if you ask me!
Amazon Where??? Don’t sleep on Amazon y’all When you live far from major shopping centers like I do, @amazon is my go to, plus the returns are a breeze! I know @kohls is sick of me 😂. I wore this vest set in pink to my 50th high school reunion in NYC, but I also ordered it in pistachio because I liked it so much. It’s versatile so I can wear the vest with other things and I can wear the pants with other things.
Want it for yourself? More colors available. Comment LINK below and I’ll send you the link.

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.”
