FASHION AND AGING

Image via Wikipedia



I know of no law that dictates you have to let go when you reach a certain age. Do you?

So why does one see so many older ladies look so terribly old? Why, if you have everything working for you, do you want to look like a wet old bag?

Pamela is one girl that is not aging well, and only because she isn't looking after herself.




I have posted this photo before, but it is an excellent example of Pamela not caring for herself. It beats me why one doesn't always wanna look one's best. Now I am not saying you have to dress up at home, (although I think I am spoiled, my wife always looks her best, even at home) but to appear in public like this? I think it is shocking.




A perfect example of a girl that goes out of her way to look after herself, Cindy Crawford. I have never seen her looking any less than her best. Will you believe me if I tell you that Pam and Cindy is just about the same age, one year difference to be exact, and Cindy is older. If you look at the pics you will never say that.



Another girl who looks after herself well, Michelle Pheiffer. And she is a '58 model, a decade older than both above girls. I see a stunning girl, who cares about herself.



Dana Delaney, a '56 model, still looking stunningly beautiful and sexy.


So what does the law say about getting old(er). Always dress to impress, there is no law against long hair, short sexy dresses, high heels, make up and great hair styles.

I have to say one thing in Pam's favor though, she still has the legs, even if the ID drops a mite. And she is not shy to flaunt them.


Before I forget, the MysteryMouth in my previous post, very few got her right, but those sexy legs belong to none other than Audrina Patridge.

Enjoy the weekend!

FASHION = CONFIDENCE = SEX APPEAL.

This morning I visited a site of a young lady, whom, I might add, is just sparkling with confidence and sex appeal. Now I could find no evidence on her site that she is a celebrity of any kind, except in her own life and home. Carrie of HowDoesSheDoitMom.com tells us in no uncertain terms that any girl can be sexy and beautiful. Now you folks who have been regular readers of my blog will know that that is exactly my argument. She inspired this post, needles to say...

What is it that makes a girl sexy? Not what she wears, but how she wears it. If a girl feels great, she has confidence, confidence is directly related to sex appeal. And everyone notices.

A girl whom I think is just oozing sex appeal, is Penny Lancaster, the very sexy and stunningly beautiful wife of old man Rod Steward. She is now pregnant with her second child, just by the way. Now this pic of her speaks for itself. Confident and kick ass sexy. Beautiful dress, lovely wild curly hair, sexy high heeled sandals, and red varnish on her toe nails, 10 out of 10. Sexy legs too!! !\_



The fact that her hubby is much shorter than Penny is also, thankfully, not stopping her from wearing heeled, in fashion shoes either. (it doesn't seem to bother him, and it wouldn't have bothered me either had I been shorter than my wife, lucky for me I am taller, because she goes no where in flats.)




When most women look at a celebrity, it is with envy and sometimes even blatant jealousy. (come on, admit it!) Why? Cos in your humble opinion the celebrity is well build, sexy, beautiful, or what ever praise you wants to swing in her direction. My opinion, one mostly sees a celebrity in a picture that has been altered, just so she can look fabulous. If you peel off the wall and all and war paint, and you will find wrinkles, stretchmarks, cellulite, flabby thighs, etc, etc. You will find that you more than likely, look better than she does when she opens her eyes first thing in the morning, and I can proof that to you.
Look at this pic of Cameron Diaz:



Does this prove my point? Is this what you look like first thing in the morning? Nah, I didn't think so.

Cindy Crawford has always been one of my favorites, and I have to add, she has loads of natural beauty, but looking at this pic of her on a day out, shopping or what ever, she looks pretty average to me, she might as well have been the girl living just down the street. Sorry Cindy, but even here she looks great.



What does that tell you? You can also look like that. I hear my wife complain, her thighs are too big, gun bags she calls them... or her boobs are too small, her hair is too straight... I can carry on, but most celebrities have the same complaints, only difference is, they have highly paid hair stylists that do their hair every day, they have time and money to go to gym every day, they have a bank balance to pay for plastic surgery and/or boob enlargements, and they have a professional photographer who can make them look fabulous in pictures.

Same Cameron Diaz, after the professionals who surrounds her on a daily basis, has done the necessary.



I can hear you say, "what does a man know?" You are forgetting something, we see you from the "other side", to me my wife is gorgeous, even if she doesn't believe me, and I am sure the guy in your life thinks the same of you.

I'd love to hear your opinion on this, tell us what you think, and if I left out something, feel free to add it in your comment. Maybe I can use it in a future post. It is true, I am a man, and I am also learning something new everyday.

Have a great day and a care free weekend.

FASHION: SEXY LEGS, OLDER CELEBS AND CELEBS ON THE RED CARPET.

I have checked back on Feedjit again, most of my "cold" visits from Google come from key phrases like 'older celebs', 'sexy legs' and 'celebs on the red carpet.'

Seeing that it seems to be very interesting and popular subjects to my readers, maybe we should dedicate this post to a mixture of the above.

This is a 2008 picture of Cameron Diaz on the red carpet, she hasn't changed much since then, and I have a special soft spot for her. She has sexy legs, well shaped calves, obviously complimented by the high heels and shortish dress. (No idea who the dude is, but who cares.) Not that young anymore, I guess she can qualify as an older celebrity also. (born in 1972)



Anna Lynne McCord on the red carpet, looking smoking hot. The curly hair, sexy dress, peep toe heels and red nail varnish earns her full score in my score sheet.



A stunning looking Cindy Crawford, ok, I know not on the red carpet, but an older celebrity (1966) who just doesn't seem to age at all. She has always been one of my favorites. Just love the blue dress and strappy high heeled sandals. Loads of sex appeal and confidence.



Another older celebrity, who in the days of T J Hooker became famous as a leggy female cop, and who I thought was the sexiest girl alive at the time, Heather Locklear. She turns 50 next year, and I would venture to say she is aging like a good red wine, only getting better with time. See for yourself, in this picture she is super hot and stunningly beautiful. Just love the hair and the eyes. (one can lose a whole herd of steers in those eyes)



A red carpet post without her would be mighty boring, my all time favorite, as you all know, Kate Beckinsale. Just love her hair and the smile. And even though it isn't really obvious in this picture, you can take my word for it, she has damn sexy legs.



True beauty, unequaled class, elegance and style, a flawless example to modern day celebrities, and a huge favorite of mine since I can remember, Sophia Loren. I guess she must be a great, great granny, born 1934, but still has what it takes to make a noisy gathering hush when she enters. What a lovely old lady.



Well, you tell me what you think and who you'd consider also qualify in this category. Obviously I cannot mention everyone I'd like to, as I would sit here for the whole day.

I think it is maybe also a great time to thank each and every visitor, readers, follower, and commenter on my blog. As you have no doubt noticed, I have reached 400 followers, and without you, my blog would be a mighty boring place.
I also want to thank everyone who left very kind and sweet comments and compliments on my 'holiday' post. Yes, I have a fabulous family, and without them, I would be nothing.

Hope your Sunday is filled with joy and your week great.

FASHION AND OLD(ER) WOMEN.

Interesting question for you! Is it ok for older women to dress fashionably. In other words, is it ok for them to wear short dresses, show cleavage, wear make up, high heels, color hair, dress sexy, etc, etc. Yes, I have heard many folks comment on a middle age or older woman, saying, she must act her age now, she is getting to old to wear short dresses, or wear her hair long, or wear high heeled boots with a mini, or bright colors... I then feel like telling them that they are just jealous, and when I know the person making the comment well enough, I normally tell them exactly that. Unfortunately it is mostly woman who make these kind of comments, sorry girls, but it is true, and then they are normally nothing to look at, not because they do not have potential, but because they just do not care to look attractive.

Take Cindy Crawford for example, she is in her mid forties, still sexy? For sure! Can she still wear short dresses, show cleavage? My opinion, nothing wrong with it. As long as she feels comfortable with it, why not? With beautiful legs like hers, definitely!



How about Joan Collins? She is mid 70's, and she must be one of the most beautiful ladies of all times. Now what would you say, is she supposed to still dress according to the latest fashion, short skirts, cleavage, heels, etc. Looking at this pic, I honestly cannot see why not. Can you?



And Sophia Loren, also mid 70's, is she allowed to still dress sexy? Again, as long as she feel comfortable with it, why not. In this pic she looks smoking hot, a beautiful revealing red dress and high heeled sandals. A true picture of sex appeal, of an almost 80 year old dame.... I see nothing wrong with it.



I honestly believe, if a girl's got it, she's allowed to flaunt it. Do not understand me wrong, I am not saying trashy flaunting, if you get my drift, I mean within limits, like Cindy is demonstrating in this picture. She looks sexy, yet classy, elegant and beautiful.



Jenna Dewan demonstrates a younger version of fashionable, sexy and elegant dressing. Love the slip in that dress! And she looks stunning.



Now my opinion on this subject is, first of all, when is someone considered too old to dress fashionably or sexy? 40, 50? 60? 70? I believe, age is but a number and cannot really be defined until you consider yourself "too old." I would never stop my wife from dressing sexy when she gets older, fortunately I am much older than her, so before she reaches the age of "too old" I will not be around anymore... meaning when she reaches 90....lol...I'll be dead and gone....long gone.

So what is your opinion on this subject, are older ladies like Joan Collins or Sophia for instance, too old to dress in short skirts or heels? Or color their hair? When is someone too old to dress sexy? I'd love to hear what you think.

Have a wonderful week and take care.

BEING FEMININE?! (100TH POST)

Why do boys like girls? Maybe I should rephrase that, why do most boys like girls? Now each has the right to his or her own opinion, but my opinion is, I fancy girls coz they do not look like me, or other men. I like my girls to be feminine and soft. Even if she is not an oil painting, or stunningly beautiful, as long as she is feminine.

I mean, why would I want a girl that looks like a man, that's mighty boring.

So what makes for a feminine woman?

Let's take a look see at Cindy Crawford in this pic. Start off with long, great looking hair, make up applied to perfection, blush, mascara, lipstick, and maybe some eye shadow... Of course a sexy smile will add some pizazz to the picture.



Diane Kruger, again, colorful lipstick, sexy, shortish dress, flaunting long, sexy legs, and thin strapped, high, stiletto heeled sandals. Nails, both finger and toe nails, painted a lovely color. Now you tell me that is not feminine....and sexy....



Rachel McAdams got quite a few thumbs up on my last post, so I thought I'd use another pic of her. I think she looks so lovely here. Love the curl in her hair. Doesn't she look very feminine? What I especially like about her is the innocent look.



New girl here, Dana Delany, looking mighty feminine! And she is not young anymore....



Of course, sexy stockings and specially fishnets will add to the total femininity, not to mention to sex appeal.



I of course think pink is a true bonus when it concerns femininity. Petra Nemcova, (looking smoking hot) one of my favorites, dressed in pink. If however I had my way, I would have added some nail varnish, but my wife tells me, I cannot always have my way.... wonder why not....



So what you think, how do you see femininity? Are the girls I picked feminine? What would you add, or do different?

Nothing says femininity like stunning and luxurious jewelry. After
all, diamonds are a girl's best friend. If you're looking for
something to accompany any outfit, hop online to find fashionable and
affordable jewelry. Check out every thing from custom necklaces and
bracelets, to loose diamonds.

SOME OLD SOME NEW.

It is Friday, as most of you must have noticed by now, and I thought it wise to do a quick post. You will find some new faces and legs, and some old faces and legs. If you do not find your favorites in today's post, please visit often, or make a suggestion, and I'll see what I can do.

Angelina Jolie, favored by most, looking lovely, wearing a stunning dress and sexy high heeled, peep toe shoes.



Marisa Miller, first times on the blog, looking mighty sexy in her short dress and high heeled peep toe shoes.



Heather Graham, fairly new, but has featured before, nonetheless, looking extremely sexy in lovely white dress and very sexy, gold colored, high heeled sandals. Don't know about you, but in my opinion, she is a truly beautiful young lady.



Can you guess who this is??



If you guessed Cindy Crawford, you are of course correct! It is such a lovely pic of Cindy, casually dressed, but still very beautiful. (one of my favorite ladies)

Never featured before, but worth her weight in gold, stylish and elegant, still looking great for her age. (must be in her early 60's if I am not mistaken)Lovely Michelle Pheiffer.



Rachel Hunter, looking stunning in a mighty beautiful red dress, and an extremely sexy pair of high stiletto heeled sandals. I have featured her before, but she didn't look as good as in this photograph.



Another Rachel, this time Rachel McAdams, complete innocent beauty in my opinion. Really well shaped legs, complimented by the Pigalles she is wearing.



Well I guess my weekend is about to start, have a wonderful weekend, and let us know what you folks think of my choices.

IF THE SHOE FITS….BUY IT!

A while ago one of my readers left a comment on my blog, she loves high heels but they are sometimes painful to wear, and if I had any advice. Now me being a male, it is quite a tall order. So I did a little research of my own.
Here is an example of a bad fitting pair of shoes, just take a look at the cramped looking feet and toes.



Those feet up there belong to Marisa Tomei, now take a closer look at the three small toes, don't you think they are just battling their asses off to fit into those shoes? Now maybe she just hides it well, but I'll bet my bottom dollar she cannot wait to rip those shoes off her feet.



Take a look at the example above here, do you think Brittany Snow feels comfortable in these shoes? Just zoom in and take a closer look at those poor toes, there is just not enough space in there for all those toes man, they are crowded in there, why do you think she has stuff jammed in the back at the heels? Because those shoes fit well? No my girl, it is because those shoes hurt like hell, even from where I am sitting they do. So, bottom line is, wrong shoes, wrong choice, lots of pain, no gain.

From what I can gather, shoes that are painful to wear either don’t fit well or they are not made well. So where do you go from here? Whenever you buy new shoes, do not buy them first thing in the morning, later in the day your feet become slightly swollen and if a shoe fits well then, it should always be a good fit. Another thing, if a shoe, for whatever reason doesn’t feel well when you first fit it, it will never fit better later on, so do not buy it.
Some experience my wife had, two different pairs of shoes of the same size and same manufacturer may not fit the same, so if you really are just dying to buy a certain pair of shoes and they do not fit 100%, ask the saleslady to bring you another pair of the same size and manufacturer, just in case there is a difference in fit. It is possible!
Also keep in mind, a number seven shoe with one manufacturer may not be exactly the same size as a number seven of another manufacturer, they do differ. So if a size you fit doesn’t fit properly, try a size bigger or smaller, whatever the case may be.

Take a look at another example.



I do not care what you tell me, but these shoes of Charlize are too big for her, unless she has a piece of elastic band at the back of her heel, these shoes are going to flop-flop behind her when she walks, either that or her toes will have to work overtime when she walks in order for her to keep those shoes on her feet.

So, when you shop for shoes, fit lots of pairs to make sure you get the pair that fits you 100% like Kim is doing down here.



My advice, before you buy, fit them properly, late in the day, take your time, walk in them, walk fast, walk slow, even dance in them, hell, they have to fit you well enough to be able to walk in them for a whole day. Then, if they don't fit, don't buy them. If for some reason they hurt you later, return them and swap them for a pair that does fit. The same goes for strappy sandals, a big culprit, if they hurt, they don't fit well, return them, swap 'em for another pair that doesn't hurt.


Take a look at Cindy Crawford's feet, this is what happens to your big toes if you make a habit of wearing ill fitting shoes!! And I am sure you have seen worse, so be careful!



The good news is, if you wear a shoe that really fits well, your feet and legs will look like Pam's here and everyone will think you look sexy!



I do hope this post was at least a little helpful, if anyone of you ladies, or gents for that matter, can add some advice, please feel free to leave a comment. Hope to hear from you soon!
