Quoted from the science of
aging:“…being thin is what ages you most.”
Un-Censored and I get quite
grumpy about the whole 'anti-aging' mantra. We become extremely testy when told
that women must 'fight' ageing, as if
it is some rampaging mob armed with pitchforks. We think that women with
wrinkles instead of stretched, worked-on, wind-tunnel faces, are beautiful. On the other hand, we see no reason to
develop any more lines than necessary. So we are going to keep on eating.
Studies confirm what many women
have known for a long time and what the magnificent Catherine Deneuve enforced
years ago; that after a certain age women have to choose between their face and
their derrière. (The genteel Daily Telegraph translated this as choosing
between face and body, presumably because too many of their gentle readers
might drop their Frank Cooper's Oxford at the mere mention of a lady's bottom.)
So hurrah for science! Hurrah for a generous appetite. Hurrah for
all of our munificent derrières.

BOTTOMS UP!
"Hurrah for all of our munificent derrières."
I second that.
Age puzzles me. I thought it was a quiet time. My seventies were interesting and fairly serene, but my eighties were passionate. And my nineties . . . Oh my!
At age 20, we worry about what others think of us.
At 40, we don't care what they think of us.
At 60, we discover they haven't been thinking about us at all.
Carry on Ms Edna!
You want it.
You missed it.
You followed it.
You begged for it.
You hoped for it.
You can't live without it.
You tried to be calm.
Your sanity was questioned.
REAL women, where are they?
I believe the second half of one's life is meant to be better than the first half.
The first half is finding out how you do it.
And the second half is enjoying it.
Enjoy Ms Edna!
In old age there is a coming into flower -
Our body wanes
Our mind waxes
Never retire.
Michelangelo was carving the Rondanini just before he died at 89.
Verdi finished his opera Falstaff at 80.
And Goya aged 80 scrawled on a drawing, "I am still learning."
I drink to that.
