CAREFUL! Sexy Silver Senior unleashed!
Photo: Beate Pilgreen Old, Old, Old! There's always a lot of talk about old age combined with the word Sex-Appeal - or rather - that supposed lack of it - as if the two can't be together on the same page - or in life for that matter. If you are actually old, or as the more polite version goes, "older" (to which I always say" "older than what?"), there comes a point of enormous, happiness-inducing acceptance of that fact, that simply makes you smile wickedly and with a certain triumph. You nod your head in acknowledgement, without a shred of embarrassment or despair. "Yep, that's me", you say to the critical onlookers who always have something completely superfluous and uninspiring to blabber as if anybody has asked them - "any problems? If yes, get the f#ck out of my face and my life!" The very idea of having to look "hot" and "sexy" around the clock ist really boring and tiresome f or me. S...
I love Project Runway....However, I keep getting pissed when they refer to something that is not cool or sweet as grandma clothing. I am a grandma and I don't like to wear "grandma" clothing in their sense of the word. So annoying.
ReplyDeleteHi Theresa. I know! That's exactly the point. I have a strong sense of self and loads of confidence : -) - I was sure they'll pick me - because they need people like me.

If I were more "famous" on FB and Instagram - fans could write to PR and complain.....
DeleteTell me the first thing I can do to help you start the Revolution. In the meantime be good to yourself.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the Revolution, how can I participate?
ReplyDeleteHi there - whatever your name is. :-) You, we all start (or keep on doing it) to be in the forefront and open our mouths and having an opinion which should be shared. I still believe in protests. Wherever I go I change the (often boring) conversation into something topical and often yes, "political". I always manage to engage at least 2, 3 people in meaningful conversations, so they see that older women are real and have something to say. I would say: work on your conversations skills and my best weapon: HUMOR, funny one liners, CHARME and Irony. All dispensed with charm. There you have it. And then come the clothes....that's Lesson 2....
