“Consciousness is the prize of life,” declares Lita Albuquerque in our Closets series. The environmental artist, sculptor, painter, mother-of-two, and coolest 68-year-old in the cosmos tells all about her own renegade mother, her All Saints uniform, as well as how she turned the absence of her father into the foundation for her site-specific, internationally-acclaimed art in Egypt, the North Pole, and all across the globe.

More cool 68 year-olds, please (or 58, 78, 88...) Mainstream media has no space for mature women, and as a result we miss out on all the beautiful things they have to offer: their charm, experience, eloquence, sexiness, independent thinking... Please bring more women like Lita to this channel, pretty please. They make me feel so inspired and look forward to my older years.

I was thinking the same thing. I want to see more older women with wisdom. I think that why I still think about my Great Grandmother. She been gone 35 years. And my Grandmother who has been gone for 5 years. I have been looking for someone that I can sit and listen to.

What an in-depth woman.. I’m going to be 68 this year as well and I can tell you this.. you develop such self confidence, knowledge from life’s experience and you really love yourself and you don’t care what anyone thinks of you.. that time has come and gone. My dad once told me: life is your best education… so true!
