We'll see how I feel when the colored part gets cut off! I haven't worn make-up for years, because I resent being told that men look fine "as is", but that women need to slather expensive slop all over their faces before they go out into public. I'm too tired to get up early enough to do that!<br />And don't get me started on the older man/younger woman thing! How about the jolly fat man with younger, slim and very hot wife, that we see in the media all the time? You can tell who is still calling the shots at the TV stations and the movie studios! The only sexually aggressive women allowed are either comedy relief, or demons in disguise, because everyone knows "real women" aren't like that!

Somehow people have begun to think a wrinkle is bad and grey hair is some age related leprosy. <br /><br />I don't dye my hair, and my skin care is home made soap and water and pure cocoa butter, that's it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14732990670104875171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-14917915895824753202011-09-13T13:33:30.680-07:002011-09-13T13:33:30.680-07:00wow the page is great i like the colors and the b...wow the page is great i like the colors and the book some thing i want to read i like the witch blonde like me cook good luck with the book and the other on the page so cooldesitheblondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146001799371317795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-51750601753538470272011-09-13T13:19:03.342-07:002011-09-13T13:19:03.342-07:00Linking Connery with a younger woman as in one of ...Linking Connery with a younger woman as in one of my favorites "The Medicine Man" are considered a normal relationship yet when an older woman is paired with a younger man it the show is about how the relationship is wrong and is usually comedic.

But I love saying I've never had any work dine (other than highlights).

Of course, that stopped when the number of anniversaries exceeded 21. Now I just say it's a blessing to grow old since some people don't get the option. That said, I still dye my hair. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502244442937088842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-30894385153478695012011-09-13T10:33:56.662-07:002011-09-13T10:33:56.662-07:00Your story sounds great!

I couldn't remember if I was 34, 35, or 36! So I told him, 'However old you're going to be at the end of the month, that's how old I'll be next month.' (He's a month older than I am.) I'd been telling everyone '29' for so long, I'd forgotten myself! <br /><br />Maybe it's the fact I've been blessed with good skin, but I just don't worry about it. And I think it has a lot to do with the way people have been raised. My mom only wears lipstick, and I only remember a couple of times when I refused to leave the house until my makeup was on. But after a while, it didn't matter anymore. My friends are my friends REGARDLESS if I'm made up or not. My BFF? Totally different story. She's not comfortable in her own skin (yet), but her mother raised her to never leave the house without 'her face on'. So in college, we clashed a bit, and I poked fun of that attitude in one of my upcoming books:) And yes, we still love each other!Kenzie Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06160523410013966070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-14723841317260996692011-09-13T09:39:58.824-07:002011-09-13T09:39:58.824-07:00So funny!
