Hagsters was founded by a serial entrepreneur with a background in psychology to challenge the negative stereotypes associated with aging women.

Hagsters offers a stereotype collection featuring words that are often associated with aging females, and a unique collection of clothing that honors each decade of life, starting from the age of 50 all the way up to the supercentenarian (110 years+).

By using humor, graphics, and fashion, Hagsters aims to revolutionize the way we view aging, inspiring women to embrace the journey with confidence and grace.

Rosalee Rester, the visionary behind Hagsters, explains, "My mission is to fight against gendered ageism by redefining negative stereotypical language around older women. I want to reclaim ownership of these words, like a hag, old bat, and crone, and show that aging women are dynamic and have worth that is defined by their age."

Hagsters welcomes all women, whether they identify as a hag, an old bat, a witch, a matron, or a crone, to join the movement and celebrate their unique beauty and strength. Embrace the journey of aging with Hagsters, where every stage of life is honored and cherished.

Hamilton says tension with Ferrari teammate Leclerc 'squashed'

SAO PAULO, Brazil — Lewis Hamilton said he and his Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc had "squashed" the tension between them that followed their first lap tangle in Mexico. He said they had resolved to work together for the team in Sunday's Sao Paulo Grand Prix. The seven-time champion spoke after qualifying 11th in Saturday's rain-hit qualifying at Interlagos where he will start Sunday's race from the back of the grid after taking a penalty for using two new engines. When asked if his relationship with Leclerc was improved after team boss Fred Vasseur held clear the air talks with them on Thursday evening, Hamilton said: "Fred hasn't cleared the air. It was me and Charles. "We sat and we spoke, we squashed it. And we're moving on. We still have a huge amount of respect for each other. "I'm glad we had a chat and now we move on. We've been getting along just fine, as normal. "Sometimes in those certain scenarios, it just takes having a conversation. "There's been no demands from either side. It's just been both of us giving our points in areas we can do better and support each other. "I'm hoping to have better races now, moving forward." His comments came amid much discussion of Ferrari's need to introduce "rules of engagement" for their drivers, a notion resisted by Vasseur. Of his qualifying, he said: "I love qualifying and getting to drive in the rain – and this is such an amazing track to race in all conditions, but in the wet particularly. "It was really a bit of a practice for me in case it is wet again tomorrow." Leclerc, who had returned to Monaco after Mexico for the birth of his daughter, qualified fourth but will start 14th due to serving a 10-place penalty for taking a new engine. He agreed he and Hamilton had sorted out their problems. "When we speak, things are much better straightaway," he said. "Of course, there is some tension. We want to finish ahead of each other and sometimes we are not going to do things right, but it's OK to disagree sometimes on the way you see things. "But discussing things helps a whole lot."

Messi's Miami cling to second spot on dramatic final MLS day

Messi's Miami cling to second spot on dramatic final MLS day

MIAMI, United States — Lionel Messi's Inter Miami clung on for second place in the Eastern Conference with a wasteful 3-3 draw against Charlotte on the final day of the MLS regular season Saturday. The Argentine superstar set up the first two goals at Miami's Nu Stadium, both from corners, to procure the reigning champions home-field advantage in at least their opening two rounds of the playoffs. Ian Fray, Luis Suarez and Rodrigo De Paul racked up three first-half strikes for Inter Miami before Liel Abada's brace soon after the break sparked a comeback sealed by Rodolfo Aloko's late strike in a game characterized by awful defending at both ends. A single point proved enough. Miami finished the regular season second on 60, as third-place New England Revolution failed to take advantage with a surprise 1-0 loss at Orlando, finishing on 58. Messi's men will now face the Columbus Crew to begin the playoffs. Runaway leaders Nashville broke the all-time MLS points record with a whopping 77 after beating Cincinnati 2-0. Though he did not get on the scoresheet himself Saturday, Messi's 26 goals this season are still almost certain to seal his second straight golden boot award. Petar Musa, whose FC Dallas were in action later Saturday, would need to score five to prevent Messi becoming the first player to win back-to-back MLS Golden Boots. Charlotte had an early goal ruled out in the Miami clash for handball against Idan Toklomati, who set up Abada after intercepting Casemiro's weak defensive header back to the goalkeeper. In the 14th minute, Messi's corner fell unexpectedly to Charlotte's Luca de la Torre, who spooned it up for Fray to open the scoring for Miami. Another Messi corner in the 33rd minute found Suarez wide open at the near post. The Uruguayan glanced in his header for 2-0, with Messi picking up the assist. De Paul made it three before halftime, given time and space by Charlotte's defense to slam a long-range shot low to the goalkeeper's right and into the side netting. Early in the second half Abada pulled back a goal for the visitors, blasting home substitute Tyger Smalls' sharp cut-back pass from Ashley Westwood's incisive aerial through ball. Minutes later, Messi uncharacteristically steered wide a straightforward header from the edge of the six-yard box. Abada bagged a second in the 55th minute, stunning a crowd that had been in party mood moments earlier, with a first-time finish after a one-two with Pep Biel who played a smart backheel return pass. In the 90th minute, Aloko bagged the equalizer, responding first to the ball as Smalls' shot ricocheted off the post. A visibly frustrated Messi hit the post in stoppage time before Aloko came inches from bagging an unlikely winner with a thunderous shot into the outside netting. Elsewhere on 'Decision Day', with all 30 MLS teams in action, the Western Conference champion Vancouver Whitecaps beat Canadian rivals Montreal 2-0 to seal the second overall seed. That means Vancouver would be the home team if there should be a rematch of last year's MLS Cup final against Inter Miami. Columbus took advantage of in-form Cincinnati's stumble with a last-gasp 4-3 win at Chicago to finish seventh and avoid the wild card round.
