   Holly, I’d like you to meet Michelle Pfeiffer. She just turned 50 and is better-looking than you’ll EVER be. Any questions?

   How about Nicole Kidman? She’s 42 and often referred to as the most beautiful woman in the world.

   Holly, it’s most likely been SOOOoooo long, she could have forgot, and felt hard-pressed for an answer ! ??? ! (The mind _is_ the second thing to “go” … I forget what’s FIRST!)

   (And Sophia Loren, far and away, is “#1” in THIS “Old-Guy’s” book! She’s 60+ and can STILL turn heads a mile away! - Well, SOME things are WORTH remembering…)

   I think she just crossed the “TMI” (too much information)…. :)

   Based on Holly’s (and a lot of teenagers) attitude and ignorance, they should be infertile until age 25. Compared to an immature brat, a middle aged people are all supermodels.

   They’ve mostly already done their reproduction earlier, Holly (of course, given your concept of “middle age” this explanation will only confoozle you).

   Give her time. When I was very young I used to think anyone who was 25 was really old. The closer I got to that age myself, the younger they seemed. Now 25 is far in the past.

   Antonio Banderas - 48
   Johnny Depp - 46

   Last time I checked they still had plenty of fangirls drooling over them.

    And for a very good reason!

    I’d feel like turning Holly over my knee for that comment but I’d have to restrain my anger and tell her that her day’s coming. I might even get this statement in writing to present to her on her 40th birthday if I lived so long.

    When I was about Holly’s age I told my mother when she got REALLY old I was gonna put her in an old folks home so I could travel the world. She asked how old was REALLY old and said 30 without missing a beat!

    Fastforward on my 30th birthday my mother calls me and asked has my daughter started look for homes for me yet! Kids just don’t have any clue about age but the best thing is reminding them of the bleeep they say!

    Sarge - Sophia will be 75 in a couple of months… And she is a looker. Of course Barbara Eden will be 75 a month earlier and she can still turn heads.

    Diplomacy is not exactly Holly’s strong suit, is it?

    My lady friend is a 40 year old grandmother.
    I tell her she’s the hottest grandma I’ve ever seen.

    Come on, people - it doesn’t matter what you think now, it’s what you USED to think. When we were young teenagers, we ALL thought 30 was ancient and your life would be practically over (lilithfair remembers very well). You were wise, mature and adult at 13, just as you are now? Yeah, right. And you guys thought grandmothers and 60 YO women were hot when you were 13? Of course you did - lol.

    Just last month, our 19 year old son made some comment that we were “too old for that stuff” - referring to marital relations. I just burst out laughing, then went to bed with my hubby and proved we weren’t too old yet. (Of course, I didn’t provide proof to our son!)

    when I was a teenager, it wasn’t my idea, the thirties was considered middle-aged by everybody. Dying at 50 was normal.

    If anyone has ever heard of a book written at that time, called “In Praise of Older Women”? The author came up with a really shocking idea (shocking in those days) - that women in their thirties (that’s who he meant by “older women”) were actually still interested in sex and still capable of attracting men!

    So it’s not only the ignorance of teenagers; times have changed. Doesn’t Val owe it to Holly to educate her a bit? It’s not really fair to penalize someone for ignorance. Holly was asking for information, after all, and I don’t think she meant to be nasty.

    When I was a teenager I realized that I would be fifty when the millennium changed – I thought I would be too old and senile to celebrate it!

    When it happened, I found I’d been right! :O(

    Makes me wonder how old was lilithfair’s mother when lilithfair was Holly’s age.
