Thanks to Jim Lynch, I found this picture of Jamie Lee Curtis, on the cover of the AARP magazine. Miss Curtis — actually the wife of Christopher Guest, the fifth Baron Haden-Guest, and therefore is styled Lady Haden-Guest — said that her husband who pointed out Jessica Tandy, gray-haired and clothed in a simple dress, as the most beautiful woman in a roomful of glammed-up celebrities.
Women really don’t have to try to look younger than they are — and think that they have to compete with twenty-somethings — for men to be interested in them. Of course, if advertisers didn’t push all of these products to persuade women older than thirty that they still have to compete with the twenty-somethings, our economy would surely collapse, but somehow, some way, I would have thought that feminism would have taught women that they don’t have to be mind-numbed robots and listen to that crap.
