Talk about a good way to go.
      According to Today.com, Zelda Kaplan, a 95-year-old style icon and party girl passed away at the Joanna Mastroianni Fashion Show Wednesday in New York. The socialite posed for pictures in the front row of the fashion show just minutes before slumping forward in her seat. She was taken to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead, after attempting to revive her several times. Kaplan was a regular in the city’s fashion and club scene, often partying with celebrities 70 plus years younger.
      Kaplan lived a fun-filled life, rubbing elbows with designers and celebrities alike. She had an incredible journey from housewife to fashionista that is recorded in a 2003 documentary titled “Her Name is Zelda.” She is an example of a life lived passionately, full of fun and fashion. She died peacefully in style, doing what she loved and being who she wanted to be, and may we all be so lucky.
