Designer disguised as older woman in 1984

This is Pat Moore. She is 31 dressed as an older woman. She took to the streets across the country to learn the lessons of aging. She was mugged in New York City, stoned in Clearwater, Florida and shunned most everywhere else. She went shopping in her disguise and couldn't reach the food on the top shelf with her special eyedrops. She couldn't read the small print on the labels. Pat Moore endured three years of insults, kindness and frustration. She discovered an attitude toward the elderly that permeates most facets of American society. The motivation was born out of pure frustration watching what was happening in New York City, which is the capital of engineering and design in this country and realizing that we were deliberately designing *** Darwinian society. The survival of the fittest. Pat Moore is trying to change that attitude by advising firms on product designs that won't keep anybody from using them. She will relate her experiences as an older American to the Governor's conference on Aging Tomorrow in Lincoln from the Capitol Bureau for news watch 75. I'm Karen. I had good days and bad days. I was shown love and friendship I was shown cruelty and hatred. I was mugged twice. I was beaten by *** youth gang. I fell in love, Pat Moore designs, consumer products. She wanted to know first hand whether consumer products are made with the elderly in mine and how the rest of us treat old people. So she spent almost four years assuming the role of an 85 year old woman. What she found is that the rest of us don't pay much attention to the elderly. And we don't like to think about the reality that we too will grow old. We go through life with all sorts of resistance and avoidance. You know that we picture nothing but young spelled blondes and commercials and ads. And somehow we're taught that anyone over 35 is no longer considered good. That was the first thing I realized when I became the older woman was that I was dismissed as *** person and then as *** consumer as well, my needs weren't met by society. Shared some of her experiences today with this Louisville audience. She told how she prepared for her role and the experiences of spending some 20 hours *** day as an old woman, she wore latex on her face to give her wrinkles and wrapped her legs in bandages. She was beaten by *** street gang in Harlem and the mental and physical scars are still with her. I still wake in the middle of the night screaming from the nightmare of the beating. Uh I, I don't have much recall about that, but she tells me this is still the case I have spinal neuritis from beating uh damage in my wrist which precludes my using two fingers on my left hand. Um I have some facial cancer and Moore has written of her experiences in *** book to be published next year, Bill Francis 32 Live 온라인 바카라 게임.
