Yes she looks great and would look beautiful with less than half the effort.

I think she's a terrific woman in lots of ways but turning 50 is not exactly news is it? You'd think the media would have something more important to report.

Yes, I agree Kiora. I know I shouldn't obsess but the wrinkles do seem to be gaining momentum at a rapid rate at the moment. My granddaughter seems to like them though. Calls them 'stripes' - like the Tiger who came to Tea? wink

Yea she looks great. I looked not exactly great but very good at 50. It's the last 10 years that's done the damage. blush

Doesn't she look great? People in the public eye are so carefully scrutinised as they age. Glad I only had my close family nearby for my 50th and not the international press identifying every wrinkle. Wish I'd done a bit more of a splurge though (if only for Kate Moss's bank account - do you think we could club together and do a Necker Island party!). 60th coming up so I suppose I could start planning for that. Does anybody have any particularly memorable birthday celebrations? wine Do you regret not making the most of your last 'big' birthday? My friend has wryly said that at this age it's best to celebrate the mid-decades too - just in case!
