I LOVE this! I am 47, soon to be 48. I too would never buy a damn wrinkle cream advertised by a twenty something "model."

I agree totally with you, the hair is like you might see in a sci-fi movie

Amen! I feel we are soul mates. Clothing/fashion was my line of work, mostly at the buying end. It has been frustrating and depressing to watch the downfall, women often being portrayed as teenaged prostitutes on the pages of Vogue and other fashion magazines. Cannot even look at them. Some normality and elegance is long overdue. As for good wine and violins, couldn't agree with you more.

Couldn't agree with you more. Practically, you took the words out of my mouth. We need to bring the fashion industry back to a human level. And elegance would not hurt.

There is nothing lovely about old skin, old age, old legs, or saggy arms, (that is why they are hiding under sleeves).---------I think it's great that a couple of designers had the gumption to use models that weren't 20-someting. It's time to get real. Maybe you think old skin, etc. is not nice to look at because brainless twits have told us that for so long. It's like mature women should disappear and not want to be attractive and fashionable. That is totally ignorant!!

Now when they start making and designing clothes for real women they will really accomplish someting. Real women do not look like they just escaped from a Nazi concentration camp! They are the majority and they are not size 0 to 2. If these designers had real talent, they would look at the real women of the world and design clothes that look good on curves. Maybe then real women would have better choices and there wouldn't be so many women's photos on the People of Wal Mart website who are squezzed into clothes designed for a bean pole!! Maybe if they had some decent role models and decent choices in clothes, they could develop some sense and dress better. As for you thinking old skin looks bad, hold on honey, cause you'll be there soon enough, or maybe you are already at 66. Do you feel no one wants to look at you because your skin is old and wrinkly
? And if you were a sun worshipper, you'll have it sooner and worse than those of us who aren't.

Come on designers, most of the women who have money to buy your usually overpriced clothes are us real women, and we are older than 20 by the time we get that money, so cough up the decent clothes that we are willing to cough up the money for! And I'm 57, so I know what I'm talking about, and I don't look that old yet. But I would like to dress in clothes that are designed for women, not those bean poles. They NEVER look good when made bigger and put on curves. And before you ask, I am not an obese slob. Just a practical real woman.

Diane sad that you feel this way. you most be very unhappy. I am 67 years old , I dance every day My gym have a class they call ZUMBA= GET ON IT' ask if your town have something like this .It is great. When I ask for the senior discount they usually denied it because I look younger than my age. Maybe because I feel very lucky with my life. I travel on my own and with Grand circle travel group
Please every morning look yourself on the mirror and repeat I FEEL AND LOOK GOOD: I will garanty you that in a month you will not see a saggy wrinkle old lady You will see a great person with lot of wisdom on you.
I agreed halter tops are not necesary but a nice red or black dress with an string of pearls, a good smile and head up look great. I am a volunter with the council of aging.Retired nurse/social worker. Good luck

I am so sorry that you don't see the beauty in yourself or other women aged sixty and above. Just as you were conditioned and taught that young skin, only, is beautiful and desirable, take the time to listen to what others are telling you: beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. Don't let others define beauty for you. Celebrate "you".

Diane, I'm a 62YO woman and I agree with you: much younger women ARE far more pleasant and attractive to look at in fashion. That's why top designers use them. Anyone who says they "prefer" granny-type models is saying so largely to be politically correct.
