Tomoko Horino's neighbours gossiped when she first went out to work in patriarchal 1960s Japan, but now, at age 100, the world's oldest beauty adviser is having the last laugh.

"It was a time when married women stayed home and only did housekeeping, but I had to work," Horino said, after officially being crowned by Guinness World Records.
