...Embracing the Silver Strands Thanks to Anne Kreamer and TIME for the article on whether women should color their hair [Sept. 10]. I'm 57 and started dyeing my hair in my mid-30s. When I turned 50, I decided that since I'd been a grandma from age 39, it was time I looked like one. Coloring your hair is a pain in the arse, as the Irish say.

Today I am 51, long divorced, gray-haired and chunky, but I'm still very sexually active. Boomers need to realize that if we fulfill our life expectancy, we will be gray much longer than we were brunet, blond or auburn. Embrace the silver. People will choose to be around you if you are adventurous and love life. You can't buy that...
Long before going green was an international pastime, when the only corporate responsibility was to the bottom line, a small store opened in Brighton, England, selling homemade moisturizers and hair-care products packaged in plastic urine-sample jars.
