Geat News for us oldies !

Many if us (well Whispers for a start) have been on the receiving end of claims those labelled Baby Boomers ( born after WW2) have had the best of times and should be gracefully moving aside for younger generations.

But we are still in demand (hopefully) as the successful Sydney based Australian brand Blue Illusion today launches their new Star Super Model- the 95 year old Iris Apfel to launch their  Ageless Style brand of accessories. 
When Whispers worked in New York we regularly spotted Iris on the social circuit. She really has had that ageless and unique look for going on 40 years now. This should be wonderful news for the Elle McPhersons ( 52 years old) of the world let alone whippersnappers like Miranda Kerr who is a a mere 33 years old. And what  a boost for us here at Whispers with your correspondent sharing the same birth date as Ms Apfel (different decade). Watch Iris talk on style below.

Baby Boomers Turn Away Now

Not long ago he left for Los Angeles to pursue a career  and he has succeeded. Oddly, he's hardly known in his home country Australia but that's all about to change. Maybe this weekend.

14 year old Cody Simpson is back in town and today he will be at the Westfield shopping centre in Miranda at 3.30pm where he will sing. Get there early and take ear-plugs-we predict mega crowds and  screaming teen girls. On Sunday he will in Melbourne.

Cody was discovered by the usual route these days-YouTube. He comes from the Gold Coast in Queensland and he was a junior swimming champ before he took to the airwaves. He can sing, dance, write songs, play guitar-all the usual stuff and he has a really interesting charisma. This kid is going to be around for a long time.

Here is Cody performing the song I'm Yours :
