Re: calendar/ A Gene in the Buff?

pam, shame on you.

you're repeating and, by implication, condoning all that madison avenue claptrap about the ugliness of aging and how we all need to line up and spend our money on tummy tucks and hair implants/transplants- and dye jobs and silicone implants.... and who knows what else to deny the natural beauty of the mature animal.

it just pisses me off no end that we are constantly bombarded with the notion that we all ought to look like under-fed 16-year-olds with too much eye makeup. so, hrummph!

It's safe to say that MOST people over 40, regardless of gender will likely look better clothed than 'nekkid' - IMO. I include myself in the clothed group for sure. One big advantage of being legally blind is that once the glasses come off, I can't see myself in the tub. It's a true blessing believe me!! And there are NO full length mirrors at Chez Evans.

LOL
