No, not the decade — although I yearn for its simplicity and wish we could get it back — but I’m talking here about women of half-century vintage.
Whilst skimming the Daily Mail the other day — shuddup, I do it so you don’t have to — I was suddenly struck by how many seriously-hot women in that age group were featured in that particular day’s paper. So in the interests of keeping my Loyal Readers up to date on matters such as these, what follows is a very brief pictorial, in no specific order. Remember that this was one day’s harvest (August 15, 2023), so to speak, and all are pics taken very recently.
Rollergirl (Heather Graham, 52)
Jennifer Garner, 51
Jennifer Lopez, 54
Former Olympian Gabby Logan, 50
Spice Girl Geri Horner, 51
Lisa Faulkner, 52
Amanda Holden, 52
Sophia Vergara, 51
Lisa Snowdon, 51
And yes, I know that these are all “barely” [sic] semi-centenarians. So here are a couple who aren’t:
Shania Twain, 57
Salma Hayek, 56
(not a studio- or posed pic, and she still looks magnificent)
What a day at the Mail… [sigh]
Kim. Great line up sir.
I don’t drink, but I’m a firm believer in the saying “women are like wine, finer with age”.
I’ve always liked women older than me since I was a teenager. I’m late 30’s now.
Rachael Ray, Jacqueline Obradors and Jennifer Tilly have always been top favorites of mine.
My wife (ahem) is in that age group. Yesterday she had a friend she’s known since grade school come by for a visit. Not to say too much, but the friend easily looked 15 years older with way more mileage, if you catch my drift. Thing is, I saw her about 10 years ago and she wasn’t that bad. My wife? Looked almost young enough to be her daughter!
Me? I’m gray, old, fat and tired. I just got lucky in the wife category.
Every time I read the name “Heather Graham” I’m reminded of the song from Da Vinci’s Notebook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ujq-Bm-x8M
As for the lineup, yes, they’ve all aged well. Money does wonderful things, and women who care about their appearances and have a lot of it can fight the good fight for quite a while.
That said, for most, they’re more likely to age like milk than like wine. Sad, but true.
I just woke up to the realization that my son turned 50 this spring. I’m another victim of the old age bus. Still its nice to see that the children are doing well.
