I am 18 hours later posting this than I wanted, but here it is- Yesterday I received a wonderful anon on tumblr with a brilliant idea- Perhaps it's time for Carol fans to do something for ourselves and the wonderful Melissa McBride. I think something as simple as a campaign celebrating her beauty and addressing the stigma against women growing older (I can't believe I just had to type that) and/or having grey hair. "Grey is Great" is a bit cheesy, but I'm sure someone could come up with a great tag for social media outlets. It could start with Melissa (and any of us boasting grey hair) and move on to other women. Thoughts?
I think it is a wonderful idea and agreed to help set this up. My time, as an Administrator of the site, is very limited so I cannot take it on fill time. Many wonderful folks on tumblr also liked the ide and want to be involved and help.
So 1- If you have any interest in running this, please contact me via PM.
2- I am happy to promote this here, on the site social media and also link back to tumblr so non-site members can leap in and celebrate too.
3- Anyone have thoughts for a name?
4- Anyone have thoughts on how this would work, what some hastags would be and how to set up a social media campaign such as this?
Here is a link to my tumblr post- you can get a sense of how well the idea was received ny reading the notes on the post.

Thanks, ya'll! This is going to be a lot of fun and be a great way to celebrate grey hair, fight agism and remind others that older women can be as wonderful as the characters they play.

There are some articles/websites out there that feature women with grey hair, but I don't have them off the top of my head. They could be something to link to though and retweet, etc.
If I have some time later this week, I'd be willing to post. I'm teaching an extra class for the rest of the semester, and am swamped right now though.

Update- I posted on tumblr since neither the original Anon nor I can take on the leading this wonderful campaign right now. Any takers?

OK, @onedayyoujustchange, whom most of you know on tumblr, has agreed to lead this campaign, so I'll turn it over to her tomorrow. She will do a fantastic job, I feel confident.
