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.

FASHION AND BLOGGING, AWARDS AND GIVEAWAYS!

I have no idea why, but it's not at all difficult to write a post, but I always battle to find a suitable heading. So now you know if my heading sounds like... you know what, it's because I couldn't come up with anything better....like this one....

Two good things happened to me this week. First of all, I won a giveaway, first time in my life, and obviously I thought someone was yanking my chain when I first saw these words in the e mail in my inbox: "You are the WINNER mr Charming" Now with all the bollie stuff you get via e mail, I at first thought, yea right! Then I saw this particular mail was from the lovely Dena of Pretty Little Things, so I reconsidered and continued reading the whole mail, and I realized that I was in fact the winner of a lovely necklace. (I do not think I quite qualify for the title, Mr Charming, but if Dena thinks I do, who am I to argue the point.) The giveaway was hosted by the very talented Sarah of Silk & Velours Blog.
Thanks to both these ladies for, first allowing me to enter the competition, and secondly, letting me win the prize, you are both so sweet and kind! Please folks, visit their sites and support them, they are both lovely ladies, with fabulous sites!

The second good thing that happened to me, I got an award, and this award was passed on to me by Lady V of A little Bit of Vic Blog.



Now I am not sure if you have ever been to her site, if not, you are missing out on a lot, she is a treat. Now be careful, you do not wanna be in her bad books, she's got a mighty sharp tongue, (do not tell her I said that) but she has a heart of gold. (you can tell her I said that.) Thanks Vic for passing this award on to me, I really appreciate your kind words.

Now there are some rules to this award, but as Lady V said, rules can be broken, (uhhhm, she didn't put it quite like that) and seeing that she has already broken them, I am going to break those she hasn't broken yet.

I have to mention six things I mastered. Now it would honestly have been easier for me to mention things I do not master, or have not mastered yet, but here goes,
I, lately, well more accurately, for the last 17 odd years, mastered road rage, I used to be terrible, and have thrown idiots' car keys away for driving like their names say, idiots, and endangering other people's lives.
I have mastered patience when I fool around in the garage, doing woodwork, or any other repair jobs in and around the house, well ok, sort of mastered it. I am still working on that one, but have made remarkable progress.... really, I have! Just don't ask my wife, she will not agree with me.
I have, also sort of, mastered blogging, a tough one this used to be, and I used to really get mighty uptight (that's putting it extremely mildly) when I couldn't get pictures uploaded, or what ever. Nowadays blogging is a breeze...except getting a heading for my posts....
I have mastered, or I think I have just about mastered my own finances, after almost 40 years of battling as an employee, or small business owner ... believe me, there is only one relatively easy way of being financially free, invest in property... take my word for that... and take note, I said relatively easy! Nothing is easy, so whenever someone tells you something is easy, tell him to...p.... go away... and no, I am not financially free yet, and will not be for the next 10 years, but at least there is light at the end of the tunnel.
What else is there, hell, I can honestly not think of anything else... (ok, and my memory is also not what it used to be, but that is something I do not care to master anymore, some things are better left forgotten, specially at my age) so please forgive me, that is it, I have mastered very little, but I have achieved quite a lot, and I think that is the important part.

Now here is where I am going to break the rules some more, I am not going to forward this award, if any of you folks out there feel like telling us what you have mastered, please do so and take this award, you are welcome, we would love to hear.

Thanks again Vic, for thinking of me, see, you have a heart of gold.... when you put your mind to it....haha.... I know, I am on thin ice here! Please guys and girls, treat yourself, Vic is anxious to entertain you on her blog, and I can promise you, it is quite an experience!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

ABANDONED BABY.

Abandoned baby at Walmart - this is hilarious, I thought I have to shared it with you, I know it has nothing to do with fashion, well maybe it has after all, this is how you should not dress you baby!



I hope you enjoyed this.....

FASHION ON THE RED CARPET: MARISA MILLER.

Marisa Miller, quite evident after my last post, a very popular girl, and in my opinion, also a very beautiful and sexy young lady.

Born Marisa Lee Bertetta on 6 August, 1978, she used to be a very shy, quiet and reserved girl who only at age of 16 was discovered, and from there shot up to stardom as a model and celebrity.

Can you believe that she used to be a shy little girl, who considered herself a tomboy, and who used to wear large t - shirts just so she could hide her body. Now you tell me, why on earth would anyone with a body like hers, be shy, or wanna hide it.

Dressed to the latest fashion, showing lovely, mile long, beautiful legs, complimented by a figure hugging dress and a beautiful pair of high heeled, peep toe shoes. I would say a picture of absolute femininity and beauty.



What? This girls a tomboy? Well she has grown into a very beautiful, shapely and sexy young lady, turning heads where ever she goes, and maybe also the cause of more than one accident.



In her case, in all honesty, I do not consider her legs her biggest asset, coz to me they are a mite thin, but that is me, to millions of people out there, they are perfect. My taste, I like a tad bit more calve. What I would say in her favor is that she always dresses so she puts emphasis on her legs, and she mostly wear heels so the calves would appear to be better shaped than they really are.

And this picture is a perfect example of that. Those peep toe heels put some shape in those calves.



She however is drop dead gorgeous, and of course, I love her almost wild and curly hair. A smokin', steamin' hot Marisa, can you believe she used to be shy, quiet and reserved?



Well, aren't you just glad she grew up to be a gorgeous, feminine young lady. Well, maybe not that young anymore, she is 31 already, but young when you reach my age...haha...



Fashion at it's best, proof of perfect femininity and sex appeal, true beauty, elegance and style. And look at the hair, just perrrrfect.



As usual, I would love your opinion.

Hope your weekend is just great!

FASHION, MORE CELEBS ON THE RED CARPET.

It would seem that going into fashion sense of celebs is drawing quite a response of readers, which I really do appreciate. So I am going to stick with it for a post of two.

To open the ball, a lovely girl, Victoria Silvstedt, wearing a lovely halterneck pink dress and very sexy, high heeled sandals. A truly beautiful picture of a stunning lady. (I am sorry, this is becoming a nasty habit, but I have no idea where she fits in the celeb picture)



A girl whom I think has quite beautiful legs, although I doubt they would look that good without the help of a pair of heels, Traci Lords. Is it just me or does she look mighty unhappy?



A young lady I have a soft spot for, Minka Kelly, fashionable and feminine.



Marisa Miller, looking lovely and fresh, soft, feminine and dressed to the newest fashion. What I love about Marisa, and no it isn't her long legs as in my opinion they are a mite thin, sorry Marisa, but her hair always look so beautiful, and of course she is drop dead gorgeous.



Please let me know what you folks think, I'd love to know.
Have a fashionable day.
