OK, so here I am, at the end of the day in this video, and I look worn. But I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about that stupid skirt I put on today that looked great on the model in the catalog but somehow, something got lost when I put it on. Is it me? Or is it the fact that I get this strange idea that if I buy that skirt I'll look like the babe in the catalog. False advertising, I scream! Put someone in there who looks like me. Someone whose photograph screams, "Yes, I've lived a long time. No, it hasn't been easy. Yes, sometimes I forget to floss. No, that isn't a pimple on my face, it's the laugh line that is becoming a laugh cavern. Yes, I want to look good. No, I don't want to look old. Yes, that's right, because I like to be fashionable. And how can I look fashionable at this age?"
Anyway, my point is that the catalogs with women 40+ have clothes that look like something my aunt or my great-aunt would wear. And they all look too big and too frumpy even though yes, they are colorful and they have business blazers but they are boxy and broad. So I am on a quest to find some things that women our age can REALLY wear without giving in to that freaking societal mantra that yells, "Look your age." Sheesh. What does that mean anyway? Look your age? Act my age, yes - which I am working on. Look my age? NEVER!!!! Stay tuned....and I have to say that the only reason I am posting this extremely disgusting video of myself is because it made me laugh at the end when I couldn't figure out whether I was turning it off or not...
