And Here's Your Proof....

To the left: my daughter, currently in the running for Boston's Sexiest (People) 2011 in StuffBoston ezine. (By the way, please visit http://stuffboston.com/supplements/2011/sexiest/hotnot/?a=725723 and give her a vote or two or two hundred, thanks) 

And here, we have one of last year's winners. She's 80. 


What? Oh yes. Apparently even among the young, "sexy" is not just about making strong men drool, but also about being attractive. Attractive=funny, vibrant, lively, charismatic, into living.....in other words, sexy.


A quote from the write-up in StuffBoston: "....fun-loving spirit and boundless energy keep her party-hopping with kids young enough to be her great-grandchildren." 


So....there's your proof. Sexy is forever, so long as
you stay connected to living. The ability to create excitement about something, to make people laugh, to make yourself laugh, to keep your bony ass in circulation instead of hugging the sofa; these are the things that make one attractive at any age.


So here's to the seniors of the future. They are:

• embarking on the final great adventure
• and living life to the fullest
• which is not necessarily proper or tasteful
• sometimes they party with younger people
• because all adults are the same age
• and they don't give a d*mn what anyone thinks

New definitions:

• "middle age": the time between 30 and 80. 1st half: careers, raising families. 2nd half: whatever you want.
• "mature": tough, strong, smart, and crafty, after having survived life's first stage
• "senior": free at last!
