Nicknamed the “first lady of graffiti”, Lady Pink’s work is known for its celebration of women. The Ecuadorian-American artist was one of the first women active on the New York graffiti scene at the end of the 1970s and early 1980s, earning her a lead role in the seminal hip hop film, Wild Style, in 1983. While still at high school Pink began exhibiting in art galleries and by the age of 21 she had her first solo show. More recently she has designed a perfume bottle for Lancôme and turned her signature designs into a clothing range. Pink’s latest project is to create a 33 foot long mural on the walls of one of the new World Trade Center buildings, built to replace those destroyed by terrorist attacks on September 11 2001. The artist’s creation for this particular space will be based on her Unity Tree design, because she says, “The world has never been the same, but what we can celebrate is all the peacefulness and happiness that we enjoy in New York City with all the nations and nationalities living together”. New York reporter Tara Gadomski joins Lady Pink over the course of a week to witness her new painting come to life.
This week's episode sparks conversation on the term "anti-aging" with filmmaker and director, Tara Gadomski. Tara wrote and directed this short film, which employs dark humor to get across the point that aging is something that none of us have any control over. We discuss the beauty industry's marketing messages, and how they use dangerous terms like "flaws" or "corrections" for aging skin. We had a great time discussing the film, the actors and why Tara felt compelled to create this film. Tara gives a synopsis of this short, ten-minute film which is really a great conversation starter about how we view the aging process. You can catch "Signs of Aging" on Vimeo here. Or on Amazon Prime here. To connect with Tara and read more about the film, find the press kit here.
Anti-aging - who needs it? Surely, striving to master or embrace the aging process is better than trying to defy it? It is a philosophy we at Live Long and Master Aging share with Tara Gadomski, writer, filmmaker and director of a new short film, Signs of Aging. The story explores, through dark humor, the methods used to sell so-called anti-aging products to older women. A powerful message emerges about the appreciation of life over vanity. In this LLAMA podcast interview, with Peter Bowes, Tara explains her distaste for what she calls the shaming of older people, who’re beginning to show their age. In this interview we cover:“Shaming” older people and why the term anti-aging should be outlawed. Why some people are made to feel like “lesser human beings ” because they don’t comply with a certain beauty standard.Flaws, imperfections, fixes and corrections. Letting go as you get older.Embracing and mastering aging rather than trying to defy the process. Telling stories with the benefit of ageing wisdom.A story about a fictional saleswoman trying to sell ‘anti-aging’ beauty products to older women.The myth of there being “biology to it" - suggesting women are more attractive in their child-bearing years.Spoiler alert - we reveal the powerful plot line that exposes the hypocrisy of ‘forever young’ messages in cosmetics advertising.
