And I've made a decision which may or may not impact on it - I refuse to hide my experience and my age, as if it's something I should be ashamed of. I'm alive. I know lots of people who've never been lucky enough to get to this stage in their life. And I'm not gonna hide it for anybody.

It's everywhere, constant criticism of women's appearance in magazines and online. It's not easy to navigate.
Shirley Manson
