I can't help thinking we might be getting a bit thin-skinned about all this.
Come on, now, colleagues: what matter what the media types say?
Any way I think it's important to conform to perceived demographic
stereotypes. It makes for a more comfortable world.
As a librarian of 28 years' experience (in various fields from National
Library to medical library to public library) I unashamedly aspire to the
"look" beloved of Joe Public. I wear an old jacket, shapeless trousers, and
scuffed shoes. It's trusted. I drive my Honda Civic very carefully, adhering
conscientiously to the speed limit, whilst puffing cotentedly on a well-worn
briar; the window ajar, and a cap (flat-hat) on my head for warmth. People
smile as I drive by. I, in return, experience the warm glow of satisfaction
at having brought some little joy into people's lives.
Which is more than might be said, perhaps,  for Trinny & Susannah.
Woe betide the day when library staff exchange their comfortable,
approachable image for the supercilious aridity of "fashionable"

I don't think Jodie Foster is as grey and balding as I've gone!
