Aging is a natural part of life, yet it has long been treated as something to be ashamed of. Luckily, many people are speaking up to change that. Candace Leslie Cima is a 76-year-old fashion and lifestyle influencer working to change the attitudes regarding aging for both her generation and the ones following hers.
衰老是生命中很自然的一部分，但长期以来却被视为一件羞耻的事情。幸运的是，许多人正在为改变这种状况而大声疾呼。坎迪斯·莱斯利·西玛是一位76岁的时尚和生活方式影响者，她致力于改变她这一代人和她的后代对衰老的态度。
Cima’s story as an influencer began at age 72, when she first got an Instagram (一款图片分享应用) account. Curious about what influencers were, she spent a lot of time on it, only to find that there weren’t that many voices in her age group. “I remember being on the checkout line at a supermarket and looking at the headlines on those magazines. They would always have headlines like ‘How to look your best at 20, 30, and 40.’ Never did they mention 50, 60, and 70,” she recalls in a video about her wish to understand the stigma around aging. She began to speak about what was mostly on her mind—aging and took many videos about her wearing all kinds of beautiful clothes.
西玛作为网红的故事始于72岁，当时她第一次拥有了一个Instagram账户。她对什么是网红很好奇，她花了很多时间在上面，却发现似乎没有人愿意为她这个年龄段代言。“我记得在超市排队结账时，看着那些杂志的标题。它们的标题总是‘如何在20岁、30岁和40岁时保持最佳状态’。‘他们从来没有提到50岁、60岁和70岁’，”她在一段视频中回忆道，她希望了解衰老带来的耻辱。她开始为她最关心的事情——衰老发言，并拍摄了许多她穿着各种漂亮衣服的视频。
In addition to her videos, Cima also has a blog where she speaks at length about aging and fashion. Cima explains that she wears a lot of sleeveless tops, and there is always someone who writes to her that women over 60 should not bare their arms. She has a whole article on her blog devoted to this sleeveless shirt style element, which is called Woman’s Right to Bare Arms.
除了她的视频，西玛还有一个博客，她在那里详细谈论衰老和时尚。西玛解释说，她经常穿无袖上衣，总有人写信给她，说60岁以上的女人不应该露胳膊。她的博客上有一篇文章专门讨论这种无袖衬衫的风格元素，叫做“女人裸露手臂的权利”。
