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!
Here is the link.

I'm fat,wrinkly, arthritic, crotchety,don't wear makeup very often!
But guess what!
I don't care what people think!
I think that I'm still quite intelligent,also people seem to think I have a GSOH!
So, I'll carry on as I am smile

jeni that's the style. Like you, I'm happy in my own skin...which seems to fit where it should...and where it doesn't, is no business of anyone other than my husband and me. grin
