AMHERST – Glitz and glamour flourished during the Fall Senior Fashion Show Tuesday night at the White Birches Retirement Residence, which is located on the Fox Ranch Road in Amherst.
“You’re never too old for fashion and the ladies really enjoy getting dressed up and showing off,” said Cathy Wilson, one of the organizers of the event. “They like to strut their stuff.”
Ten women in their 80s and 90s participated in the fashion show, which has been hosted by White Birches in both the spring and the fall for the past five years.
“One lady today, Marion Baxter, was asked if she liked being in the fashion show, and she said ‘I didn’t think I’d be in it this year because I thought maybe some of the younger ladies could be in it,’” said Wilson. “She was asked what she means by younger, and she said ‘maybe somebody in their 70s.' She’s in her 90s.”
The oldest participant is Minerva Boran.
“Minerva is 99, almost 100,” said Wilson. “She loves to dance and keeps quite active.”
Clothes for the fashion show are supplied by Jay Set in Amherst.
“Liz Damery is the manager and her and her girls are very helpful,” said Wilson. “Liz really takes her time helping the girls get ready.”
The fall fashion show is also attended by family.
“We do fall fashion show closer to Christmas because it gives people ideas what to buy for their family,” said Wilson. “They put the outfit on and their family often buys it for them."
The next fashion show will be in the spring.
“It’s an opportunity to put spotlight on them. They love it,” said Wilson.
