Inge van Lotringen's The better life, not younger... These oldies haven't lost their scent

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 17, 2023
INGE VAN LOTRINGEN: I'd like to believe that I'm a vivacious culture vulture. In reality, I'm a grumpy 50something who is stuck in a past where everything was, naturally, much better than it is now. I bark this at my younger colleagues every day, but not always in terms of music and perfume. Well, independent perfumery has created a number of winning scents in recent years, but I'm less impressed with the results of the major brands in fragrance (whether prestige or High Street), obsessed as these are with repeating winning formulas ad infinitum and, in a few cases, not daring to design and innovate freely.

BROWN, CRAIG BROWN: Why Bronte didn't give it much attention

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 3, 2022
CRAIG BROWN: Last week, I went to see Emily at our local cinema. It's based on a true tale,' like so many movies these days, about three Bronte sisters, all huddled together in their father's parsonage, on Haworth's windswept moors. I find myself distracted by the nagging need to know what is true and what is false in films that are billed as 'based on a true story.' 'Based on' has become a more popular term.' The plot is so good that I get caught up in it. But then something ludicrous happens, or something preposterous is said or done, and I start worrying about the film's legitimacy.

Edie Sedgwick's 91-year-old sister's latest book chronicles the Andy Warhol muse's tragic life

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 21, 2022
Alice Sedgwick Wohl (inset), 91, has written an unflinching late in life memoir about her sister's luxurious but brutal childhood on a ranch in Santa Barbara and her sister's descent into bulimia and opioid use, which began when she was 13 years old when her father was arrested because she caught him having sex in the family living room with another woman. Sedgwick had spent nine months in a mental hospital where she became pregnant for the first time and had an abortion before she headed to New York and began her brief career as a muse to Andy Warhol. Sedgwick died of a barbiturate overdose at the age of 28 in 1971. Wohl (the eldest of eight Sedgwick siblings) claims she was alienated from her famous sister for the majority of her life. The basis of her latest book, 'As It Turns Out: Thinking About Edie and Andy,' explores the enduring success of her younger sister, who she once regarded as a "vain, shallow, spoiled child doing silly, meaningless stuff.' "I suppose I missed it then,' she says. I missed it in part because I didn't see it.' "I can say for Andy Warhol-all that I didn't have the eyes to see," she says.

Give this town a medal: A visit to the winning Shropshire spot that inspired the modern Olympics

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 22, 2022
In the 1850s, Rob Crossan explores Much Wenlock, where local doctor William Penny Brookes established the Olympian Games, a tournament that featured athletics as well as greased pig catching. It's this event that inspired the modern Olympic Games that brought them forward. Rob prowls around Wenlock Priory, which was sacked by Henry VIII at the dissolution of the monasteries, walks under the trees of Wenlock Edge and stops for a'seemingly bottomless' cottage pie at the Gaskell Arms. 'The Olympian spirit appears to live on in this part of Shropshire every day, despite the fact that pub meal portions and strenuousness of the uphill walking along the Edge.'
