How Old ARE You?

I have to admit that I'm tired of being ANY age at all. I think that after a certain age you no longer have an age, and you can do whatever the hell you want. A lot of times I hear my mom on my shoulder saying things like: "don't you think you're a little too old to be wearing that?" or "After this age a woman should no longer have long hair." and "My word cover up your arms and legs those things shouldn't be seen anymore."

Well I'm here to say I am ageless. If anyone asks me how old I am anymore I'm going to say I'm ageless. I can't abide to the rules of what I can and cannot wear, present myself in an appropriate manner based on society's definition. I'm 50, ride a scooter, wear sleeveless tops and dresses, skirts, lots of color, clothes that aren't lose (because I think I look fat in lose clothing), I don't wear makeup that often anymore, I wear high heels, etc. All because that is part of who I am! I don't wear the stuff I do or ride a scooter because I want to appear younger, or older, or whatever but I do it because I want to; plane and simple. I don't give a rat's ass when I take my motorcycle helmet off and people are shocked to see a granny underneath. I don't care! I don't care if I wear a dress that is cool, comfy, and possibly viewed as provocative because I like it, I like the way it looks on me, and I want to be who I am, and express myself accordingly through my clothing etc.

My motto: If You Don't Like What You See Look Away!

Seriously!

I'm sure you've all seen those ads for lengthening eyelashes stuff, and if you haven't; well you don't watch much TV, and good for you. TV is my vice of choice, and I LOVE watching it. It takes my mind off of getting old.

Anyway they show a woman who's attractive, and she's bitching about not having enough lashes after 40. Wha, wha, what? Are you kidding me? That's what she's worried about? She's not worried about starvation in the US, her financial prognosis for when she retires, the failing US school system, the US political system being bought and sold to the highest bidder, her parents who are not looking as healthy as they could and may need to come and live with her, her liver going bad because she drank too much in college? No, she's worried about not having enough lashes.

Now, if you re-watch the the link I've put in the first line; listen to all the side effects you could have. NowTHOSE are some real worries. The color of your Iris can turn brown, and will most likely be permanent (good bye big blues), you can have eye pressure problems, redness, and itchy eyes etc. Yup, I'll do me some of that eyelash stuff. I'll look perpetually tired, feel like I have allergies all the time but by damn I'll have long full lashes, and all the money I could have put into a good cause be damned!
