You have to be humble in this life. One day you are young and hot and everything that everyone wants. Then the years pass and you get older and there are fewer opportunities and you try to right against Mother Nature.
You should be happy with who you are. What you have grown up to be.Time passes. Be humble on the way up because you are going to meet the same people on the way down.
Oh and stay away from bee's. Especially those salt water bees.
I wish someone had told Heather Locklear that. Poor kid.

That's Heather Locklear? Did she go through the windshield?
I think she was ridden hard and put away wet.
So to speak.
I don't get the facial augmentation thing, especially when young or younger women destroy their looks with bad lifts, puffy lips and cheekbones, and the perpetually surprised look of having been Botoxed.
Beautiful women age beautifully and should run away from plastic surgeons.
Wow. I didn't recognize her.
And that's a wonderful perspective, Michael_H.
No that is not Heather Locklear. Unpossible!
Sorry but it is. See what happens if you spend too much time in the water?

That poor thing. hideous.
The thing that kills me about Locklear is that she kept her looks for so, so long, especially for a fair-skinned person.
There are women who get better looking as they get older, too. It's a myth that it's just men.

Well, two things: She is 47. What do you mean (I'm just curious) by "she kept her looks for so, so long"?
And if you google that image and go to the article, this photo is sort of the oddball. I don't like what she has done to her face, but she still looks fantastic overall.
I hate the botox crap. I understand why women panic and do it, though. Every little wrinkle in showbiz is pointed out, and women are not appreciated as they age unless they look perfect by having no wrinkles.
I think happy women age well. Just my hunch. I think that age adds depth to many. Makes faces more interesting, too. For instance, I personally love the way Helen Mirren looks. She looks happy to me, too. She often looks like she has a fantastic secret that keeps her that way, too.
I'm suspecting we need look no farther than that little David Spade scalawag.

Well, first I do have to admit that it seems really long because she was on those shampoo commercials when I was a kid (L'oreal?)--but I think she was, like, 16.
But even so, I mean that at 40, she looked when I saw her like she hadn't aged at all in 20-25 years. I realize there are all kinds of tricks to that, but still...I thought there had to be a portrait of her somewhere, getting older.
She was married to Tommy Lee, fercryingoutloud: That's got to take a toll on you.
But also: I mean she held out on the plastic surgery till this point. (Though I guess that's not actually true, since she got implants, apparently?)
She had a great run of looking youthful but rather than growing old gracefully she's opted for #12-looks-just-like-me.
Over the holidays, I met up at a party with an acquaintance from long ago who had been a not-unattractive girl and she'd had everything done. It was the next day before I remembered her, who she actually was.
She looked familiar of course: She looked like everyone else who does that sort of thing.
And it's not like there aren't examples of women looking great at older ages. Catherine Keener will be 50 this year, Helen Mirren is 64, and in Mrs. Henderson Presents, Dame Judi positively smolders and she was 71 at the time.
As I've noted, I never noticed Diane Lane till she got a few wrinkles. And I know a lot of non-famous women who have aged well, too.
One of the keys seems to be not trying so hard to look super-young.
And I understand the panic, too, but good looks should be seen as a bonus, not a lifetime pass. Women who are sexy manage to radiate it even after the bloom is off the rose.
Thanks, blake. I knew you'd have a good answer for that. And it is true, Heather looked fantastic - not just very attractive for a long time. I'm sad that she went this route.
One of the things that is difficult for an actress as well is all of that makeup. It's hard on the skin. So again, I feel badly for anyone in that industry dealing with aging and the need to look young.
Great perspective on aging and still being sexy and attractive. No, not youthful looking. But that's OK. It really is.
I have always been attracted - even as a very young woman, to faces with character, and you don't find that in the bloom of youth.
