she sounds like she's unable to adjust her views even though the world around her has changed.

Just because inter-racial marriage wasn't approved of in 1934, doesn't mean that she needs to feel the same way about it now in 2006. The fact that she can't incorporate new values into her belief system shows a lack of intelligence of sorts. It's sad to see.

From the this and the other article that I've read about her, it sounds like she feels that her culture is being lost due to all of the new immigrants coming into France. It can be hard to accept changes, especially when they come late in life but it's really not something she can control. She would be better off accepting it.

Besides, just because Muslims slaughter sheep doesn't make them bad. What about all of those Frenchmen who make the duck, sausage, chicken, etc. that are very prominent in French cuisine? Should they be banned from France as well?

Anyway, she's an old lady. I hope she can live out the rest of her life in peace.

Deal with it folks, we are all going to be this old GOD willing, no amount of nip/tuck will cut away age. Her politics may have alienated her from most but that's what makes her beautiful in my eyes. I don't agree with all of her views but I will gladly stand up for her right to say them.

Hopefully it'll be a short life. F--- that old crow.

for real. i don't see where there's a problem. she's a senior citizen of rather advanced age and she has wrinkles. big woop.

now the fashionista side of me would have preferred that she had not worn such a dark lip color at that age (i loooove the color often referred to as "vamp", but after 40, we should restrict it to our nails ) with such smokey eye make up, it would have lightened up her face a little to go paler with the lips...maybe something in the peach-ish, light coral range...can't decide if it should have been matte or glossy, though...

Thanks for pointing that out. I was getting irritated about orgers feeling sorry for her.

I agree.

I don't see why people freak out about the age of 30, 40, 50, but I do fear being at the age when all of my organs don't function properly anymore. When I hit the age where I need assistance in something as simple as going to the bathroom, then I'm not sure I'd wanna live anymore.

Well...she is an old lady now. Different people age in different wayz aesthetically- regardless of how they were in their youths. It's a given. By the time i'm 75 whether or whether not im looking good for my age (though i've decided i will...at least in my mind ) that i'll have the gift of experiences, experiences and more experiences. I will have storiez to tell! A self-cultivated and evolved perspective of the world and its ways! And i'll take no bullshit from the young-ass generation damn it! And they will damn well love me for it!

i spent most every summer out in the sun on lakes and hay farms from the age 12 ... never using sunscreen cuz i am allergic to all of it

smoked for, we'll say over 18 yrs

and your opinion is ... that made me a hag by age 40 huh ?

ZombieKitten said:

Me aged 75: 'My child, does your mind wonder in church? It's okay you can tell me, you know in my time I used to actually have a few dirty thoughts here and there. Ahhh to err is human, to forgive divine.'

I just saw this

Shes still beautiful, just old. Shes not ugly! How old is she now?

Did she put on a lot of weight at some point? She looks like she has lots of extra skin

lilmissmissy said:

Right on!

Sad how people can't change and adapt. But then again, if the world changes it's views on me I'm not sure I'd change with it.

Mach said:

Perhaps you are an exception, however, there is no way that you can deny that smoking and sun exposure ages most people very prematurely.

JustErin said:

Im sure Mach has always taken very good care of her skin, with all these organic lotions and potions. That really makes a difference

Also, the sun just doesnt affect some people like it does others. Some are more inherently accustomed to it....

Were all different!

UncleGrandpa said:

i disagree. old or not there is a thing called respect for others. there is no way i'm gonna stand up for somebody like that. being set in one's ways is not equivelent to dementia. wrong is wrong no matter how you slice or dice it.

JustErin said:

Hell, I've always looked older.....my hair started to turn grey when I was 17, back then I was bothered by it but now it has become an asset.... Maybe I smoke to compensate my skin a bit.....

abierman said:

I started to go grey very early too...around 21.

But I have good skin and a great colourist (me).

JustErin said:

I understand a girl would do that, but me? Everyone I know would take a shit on me if my 'wings' be gone just like that!!!



(it's not that bad though!!!!)

My skin's alright though!

JustErin said:

I've just started with the grays about 2-4 years ago.
