I dunno, she looks pretty well preserved for someone who's almost 70 (even if she's had some work done), but somehow, there's just something that strikes me as being wrong.

But then, I'm closer to 60 than I am to 50, and maybe I'm just jealous.

69 is the number of measures in the piece I started working on today. I always count out the measures in my pieces and put numbers at the first measure of each line, and I notice that a lot of pieces I play are in the 60-70 measure range, and more pieces than I would have thought have an odd number of measures (as opposed to an even number.)

Maybe this is her secret:

She's certainly in decent shape for near-70.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

I think we'll get more comfortable seeing women's and men's skin and bodies appearing youthful into their 50s, 60s, 70s. IMO, there's nothing wrong with this. Exercise, nutrition, rest, and medical intervention help.

She's had so many facelifts that those little pointy things in her bra started out as toenails.

She's had so many facelifts that those little pointy things in her bra started out as toenails.

A woman goes to a plastic surgeon to get some work done. She says to the surgeon, "What can you do for me?"

The surgeon says, "Well, you have bags under your eyes, I can fix those, and you have crow's feet by your eyes. I can tighten the skin up."

disclaimer-this is tasteless

The woman asks for a price, and the surgeon gives her one. She says she
can afford more than that, what else can he do?

"Well," says the surgeon, "your forehead is a little wrinkly, I can pull that tight. Also, your jowls droop down. I can fix that, also."

Again, the woman asks for a price, and says that she can afford more than the surgeon says, and asks what else he can do.

The surgeon says, "Well, for $1200, I can give you the full treatment, from the neck up. You have a double chin, and I can fix that for you. Also, your neck and throat are a little baggy. I can pull all that tight for you.

And, as an extra, I will put a small screw in the back of your neck, under your hair. When you start to get more wrinkles, you can come in, and I will tighten the screw a bit, and tighten your skin right up."

The woman agrees, and has the work done. She looks beautiful. 8 months later, the woman calls the surgeon on the phone.

"Doctor! I have a problem! I have these huge bags under my eyes! I have never had bags like this before! I need to come in and have you fix this!"

The surgeon says to her, "Lady, those aren't bags, those are your boobs.

She says, "Well that explains the goatee."

Someone who hasn't aged well:

Melanie Griffith
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

George --

I read your quote and I've been thinking about Jane.

[disclaimer] I hope to look as good as she does at her age. [/disclaimer]

Could it be that what strikes you as feeling "wrong" is that, for as great as she looks, she seems to be dressing and acting like a hot young thing? Not that there is anything wrong with being a hot young thing, but she has failed at defining herself as a hot older woman. She looks instead like she's desparately chasing her youthful self?

:shrug: R2

(for the record, I've seen her on Larry King and the Colbert Report recently. The above picture is more flattering than when she's on TV. On TV is when she seems more desparate to have everyone think she's still sexy).

I'm reminded of Grace Slick.

Quote:
 
Grace Slick says she can't remember a lot of things, which is perhaps no surprise given how much she drank and drugged herself into oblivion during her reign as a rock-and-roll queen. But she knows who she is today: "I'm a 67-year-old fat, white-haired, liver-spotted woman."

Of her body, she says, "It's all lumpy stuff with lines."

That's the functional definition of "celebrity."
If people aren't fascinated by your every move, you're not a celebrity.
