She looks young from the nose down, but her eyes look old. And that's what gives her a freaky look. To make matters worse, her hair is too long and in serious need of an update. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line you can't buy taste. And taste is actually a crucial component of aging gracefully.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-80828277013497558742008-03-20T23:38:00.000-07:002008-03-20T23:38:00.000-07:00I totally get where all y'all are coming from. But...I totally get where all y'all are coming from. But so much of it is genetics and fitness. And some people just age better, by the standards of what our culture finds attractive. <BR/><BR/>My mother, who is 56, hit the genetic jackpot and has been a health nut her entire adult life. She's never had anything done, and her face/body could easily pass for a youthful early 40s. Her big foxtrot oscar to the establishment is that she stopped coloring her hair...great howls of protest from her friends...still a great cut, but now an elegant silver. The catch: She can get away with it because she looks so good doing it.<BR/><BR/>Others don't fare so well, whether because of genes or lifestyle choices. And if a facelift or an eyejob or whatever makes them feel better, I can't see the harm. To each her own :)pchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09283315335849825659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-86454510858241073472008-03-20T21:47:00.000-07:002008-03-20T21:47:00.000-07:00I think the "surprised" look developed as a defenc...I think the "surprised" look developed as a defence mechanism to counter the look on friends' faces when they see the post-op you. <BR/><BR/>I think aging naturally is sexy.

But, as you say, these ladies operate under a different play book and social pressure. <BR/><BR/>Another little dymanic I've noticed with this set is that after the age of 50 or so, many won't permit amature snapshots being taken of them at parties, functions or otherwise. A big no-no. It's professional photographers with consent, or nothing. Some go so far as to inquire about that before RSVPing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-43414857870162328322008-03-19T23:47:00.000-07:002008-03-19T23:47:00.000-07:00I'm gonna play devil's advocate. Because I sure as...I'm gonna play devil's advocate. Because I sure as hell wouldn't want to be an aging woman in NY or LA...it's brutal. Ladies who roll with certain crowds regard plastic surgery as a sort of Hobson's choice. It's what one does -- to them, it would be freakish <I>not</I> to "fix" the signs of aging. Sure, it's an alternate aesthetic. But when you're 70 there's no way you're gonna look 40, and they see what they get as preferable to the natural course of things. And since they get conditioned by what they see around them, they start to think it's normal anyhow. So I'm pretty sympathetic to the Priscilla Presleys and Veronica Hearsts on this count.pchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09283315335849825659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-85481941693581015772008-03-19T23:02:00.000-07:002008-03-19T23:02:00.000-07:00Laura's Bush,Oh, you are so right!
