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...
Just some random old photos. I’ve posted so many of them for #tbt I’m running out of them. Anyway, a little walk down memory Lane. The first two photos were taken around 2010. The others are just random pulls. Not too long ago… But it seems so far away. Thanks for stopping by! #oldphoto #memorylane #throwbackthursday
Not gonna lie, online dating today can be scary. Any dating today can be scary truth be told. But like the lottery you gotta be in it to win it! Actually, a lot of couples I meet today many of them met online.
Of course, like anything we have to be very careful. But it’s possible. Just putting it out there. Keep Hope alive. Love Didn’t Expire at 50, and love is possible at any age!

Garden metaphors and parables are widely used in scripture, and no wonder because they mirror life in many ways. I love this verse: “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9
Life can be wearying and we all get “Tied”😩 Don’t give up Fam! Keep going! Beauty is on the other side! #womanoffaith#faithwalk #keepgoing #godisreal
On this day 4 years ago we tied the knot. The original plan was just to go to city hall, but my granddaughter insisted that I have a real wedding because she wanted to be the flower girl and had several dresses picked out. She proceeded to shop for dresses and drove everyone crazy for weeks sending photos almost every day. I’m so glad she did because we ended up inviting our children and grandchildren and it was a memorable event with beautiful Sedona as the spectacular backdrop. Thanks to our wonderful families for showing up and thanks for taking the wonderful photos since the photographer didn’t make it!
Anyhoo-here we are 4 years later and it truly feels like yesterday. We are truly Blessed and want to encourage folks that Love Doesn’t Expire at 50. Our love story started when we were 60.
With our 4th anniversary coming up tomorrow, we’ve been meaning to post a few videos all week, but time got away from us. So we just did an impromptu quick candid video here and I’m gonna split it up into a few different videos so I hope you enjoy it. We are living proof that Love is possible at any age. Thanks for being here.
Love Didn’t Expire at 50!!! Stay tuned for more.

Instagram said it won’t share this video with new audiences because it’s over 3 minutes long-but we can fight the Power ! Share it with your friends and let them know we are living proof that Love is possible at any age.
Now this is a PSA for all ages actually…just some things that I’ve been thinking about, but I’m talking to myself too!!
We can have gorgeous clothes , and look Fly, But…
Waistline: I’ve always kept a pretty small waistline using waist trainers, etc. for years-but as I approach 70….yeah I said it-70… It’s increasingly difficult to keep that svelte, tight waist going. But I’m not giving up! There is a big difference in appearance when you have a trim waistline, not to mention visceral fat around the waist is detrimental to health and wellness especially as we age.
Posture: something else I catch myself slumping when I’m sitting down and slouching when I’m walking, I caught myself in the mirror as I walked by a couple of times and corrected it.
Walking: I know the joints aren’t cooperating as they once did, but you can catch yourself and train yourself to have more pep in your step.
Bra: Y’all, I’m not gonna lie. Everything is sagging, but I am doing some weight training to combat all of it. But we can all use a better fitting bra, which helps for more useful appearance.
Face: Facial expressions- sour face or smile? Pro tip: Yes, smiling triggers a chemical reaction in the brain that releases endorphins, along with dopamine and serotonin. This process is part of the facial feedback loop, where the physical act of moving facial muscles sends signals back to the brain to lift your mood and lower stress.
There are so many things that we can change about ourselves. I know some of them are habits that are deeply embedded, but it’s still not too late. Anyway, just a few little tips if you’re wanting to look and maybe feel a little peppier. And like I said this is for everyone, even you young folks. If you start now you’ll be ahead of the game..
What are your thoughts? Do you have any other tips for enhancing a more youthful appearance?
Do you even care? 😅
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
#TBT to when we were just two grown folks trying to figure out if this thing might actually work. We met later in life. We lived in different states. We dated long distance for four years. And neither one of us knew exactly where the story was going. But here we are. Our anniversary is coming up next week, and looking back at these old photos has me thinking about everything I learned about dating, love, disappointment, starting over—and what I thought I knew at 50 that I definitely know better now. Let me just say this: Love didn’t expire at 50. More on that soon. #TBT #LoveAfter50 #DatingAfter50 #LoveLaterInLife Love Is Possible at any age. Get my Free download. Comment “Free”below.
#TBT and a little walk down memory lane… Same kids. Same back view. A whole lot more height. In 2020, I snapped that first photo of them from behind when they were still my little ones. Fast-forward to now and somehow those same “little” kids are taller than I am! When did THAT happen? They just spent two weeks summering with us in Arizona, as they always do, and we had so much fun. And looking back at our Brooklyn stoop photos from then and now really got me. The stoop is still there, the Brooklyn memories are still there…but these babies just keep growing up on me. That’s the funny thing about time. While you’re busy living it, laughing, traveling, making memories and enjoying the summers, those little legs get longer, those babies get taller…and suddenly you’re looking UP at them. Same kids. Different view. A whole lot of memories in between. #ThenAndNow #BrooklynMemories#GrandmaLife#flygrannybk

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.”
