We have this HUGE 4th of July parade in my town and there was this petite bleach blonde with waist length overbleached curly hair, 5 inch heeled sandals, teeeeeny itty bitty denim shorts and an American flag halter, just strutting her stuff. Granted she looked okay for at least 60, but PUHLEEEZ. My kids were with me. My teenage sons said, "Mom, did you see that. That is so totally gross! She is like, "OLD!"
Of course I said, now you guys just be quiet. She's obviously having some fun. Then my 10-year-old girl said, "Mama, what is the matter with the skin on her arms?" I had to laugh to myself about the sagging arm skin, but I just said, "Now you just shush and watch the parade." Way toooo funny.
I was behind a woman at the grocery store one day. She was decked out in super tight low rider jeans and a belly shirt. She had "cornrow" braids in her hair with tons of beads and a nice tan. I thought, "okay, whatever." That woman turned around and I almost fainted. She had to be at least 50. I almost said, "What in the h...l are you trying to prove. Her face was sooooooooo wrinkled, it just scared the daylights out of me.
I'm almost 50. I've stayed out of the sun for 15 years. Sure I have a few wrinkles, a lot of white hairs and I still fit into the same size Levis that I did in high school, but jeeeez louise. When you're getting older, just deal with it. Make yourself look nice, but stop trying to look 20.
