Not that I ever was 'a sex siren' but it was a relief to leave all that behind in my 20s! wink

I don' feel past it at all. I am knocking on the door of 60 .
When I was in my 40s I was so busy looking after children, parents, Mr Annika,running the house and working I didn't have time to be a sex siren !
Have I missed out I don't think so .I now enjoy life at a much steady pace and I wouldn't go back at all.
If we are happy with how we look what the hell has it got to do with any jumped up columnist from the Daily Mail

I've just seen a piece in the Mail online saying "60 the new 40? Don't kid yourself ladies" - basically saying that trying to be a sex siren in your 60s is downright deluded.

Since when did 40 somethings get classified as "sex sirens" in the first place? In my opinion you can look fantastic without trying to be mutton dressed as lamb whatever your age. Just because you have hit 60 doesn't mean you can't look great - or that you should continue to make the best f yourself. I do hate articles like this!
