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???

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...
Then and now. Y’all know the 70’s was my decade, and I think I took more photos in the 1970s than any other decade. Each decade represents another phase of life. This was one of self-growth and exploration, not to mention the 70s disco vibe and unforgettable style. I look back and smile, feeling grateful for Then and Now🙏🏽❤️ Thanks for stopping by.
Grateful for all things. That’s all.🙏🏽 What have you been complaining about lately and have you been focusing on what you don’t have rather than being grateful for what you do have? When you look at the rest of the world, we are truly blessed. I’m so glad God saw fit that the path of my life has led me here. I hope to inspire someone today. It’s easy to get caught up in the fallacy of perfection. Just look here on social media and everyone’s life looks fabulous every single day, but trust me- it’s not, no one is perfect except God. Just a random post. Have a blessed day y’all! #wednesdayvibes #humpday#carvideos #grayhairfontcare#blessed
Do you take things and your life for granted? Are you grateful for the things you have?
Who says getting older has to be boring? I visited Tony Yanito’s Gripstone Climbing Gym recently. He’s a legendary professional rock climber, and at over 60 he’s going strong keeping Prescott,AZ fit with his gym. On this day, there were some climbers in their late 60s and 70s showing their skills and I was impressed! Gonna put on my climbing gear and do it one day. Tony said I can start with the kids wall!!😲😂 That’s about right!!🧗🏽♂️ If you’re in the area, check this place out!!!
This song was so fitting…( swipe left for more sun kissed photos) I was wondering why I was feeling so blue and down these last few days, but I remembered that I get the winter blues also known as S.A.D, it’s really a thing… It’s been cloudy, gloomy, and cold here in Arizona y’all! Aside from a little reprieve in Florida,I stayed bundled up here in the house as long as I could. But suddenly today the sun is shining and it is warmer. I feel alive again. It’s a metaphor for the seasons of life; the winter,spring, summers, and falls of life. It’s comforting to know that the dark seasons or the cold doesn’t last forever.
So if you’re in a season of waiting, of longing, of enduring—hold on. The dawn always follows the night. Your time to shine, to feel the warmth of hope and renewal, is on its way.
🌿 “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” — Psalm 30:5 🌞
It was a bittersweet trip to Florida visiting my big brother Tony, who is bedridden from a stroke, and my sister-in-law who is showing signs of dementia, all under the care of my wonderful niece, Rasheeda @rasheeda.io I got to experience firsthand her life as a caregiver, and I was glad to be there as their new home was blessed at the housewarming. In all that she is juggling, she found the time to invite us to a Yankees’s Spring Training Event in Tampa. She is a Fordham U alum, so we got to steal away for a few hours to enjoy the event with her. I was mostly in the moment, and didn’t get to create much content. Sometimes it’s that way. No regrets.
My niece is so amazing and beautiful. They are so blessed to have her care for them. May the Lord bless her GREATLY for honoring them in this way. We should all be so lucky!
Deuteronomy 5:16 Says “‘Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.”
May it always go well with her, dear Lord🙏🏽 #familyiseverything#mifamilia #floridalife#tampa#caregiverlife
Hello, my name is… Adelina a/k/a Fly Granny Bk I thought I’d reintroduce myself because it’s been a while and I have some new followers. I’m a baby boomer, child of the 60’s and the 70’s and I love the 80s. I’m Bi-racial, Black and Filipina-Blasian, or Afro-Asian, way before Tiger Woods made it famous. I’m an eternal Brooklynite now living in Arizona. I reinvented myself after decades as a designer in NY, and embraced social media in 2019. I have 2 amazing sons, a daughter-in-love, and two amazing grandchildren. I found love again and remarried in 2022 at the age of 65. It’s never too late to find love or to start over.
This is your cue to Spring forward and follow your dreams.

More 70s… I think I took more photos in the 1970s than any other decade, up until now, that is. It was such a creative time in vintage NYC for everyone it seems-musicians, artists, photographers all got their groove on. Being immersed in a creative environment at art school provided me with the wonderful opportunity to be both photographed and drawn by my fellow students. I can’t remember who took these! All great memories. #tbt#throwbackthursday #blasian#blackandfilipino #vintagephotos #brooklyngirl#vintage70sfashion #newyorkcitygirl

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.”
