Some Beauties

I was strolling back happily in the late Saturday afternoon, listening to the birds arguing to each other from the tall palm trees close by, enjoying the tranquility after the rain, and every now and then, watching the cloudy sky, slightly anxiously of whether the next pouring from on high would catch me...
when suddenly I saw her, a Brigitte Bardot of the early 1960s, walking towards me.
The wind was gently playing with her long blond hair. In her pale blue jeans and a casual jeans jacket, the lady was tall, slim, attractive and quite carefree.
We came closer and closer to each other, then she headed South, I went North... 'Ships passing each other in the night' - almost! 
Know what I found out when I was very close to the beautiful lady?
The gorgeous lady must be in her late 60s, from the sagging of the skin on her neck and face. Regardless, she still looked very beautiful.
Some people are just lucky don't you think, in preserving their beauty that long. 
Once, I met a similar beauty but shorter (about 5 feet tall, or 1.5m), and who turned out to be much older. The striking about that case was, the lady still sported long fake eyelashes which were a bit too heavy for her wrinkly face. I felt so sad that time, thinking of my own aging.
Am I too catty in describing these cases?

She's definitely beautiful for her age, she definitely took care of herself.

Bardot does not look that good today, but she is in her 80's. Something difficult to imagine when you see her movies is that she has amblyopia (she sees only from 1 eye) since birth.
It is true that some people are aging better than others. I do not think that it is only because they took care of themselves, the nature also plays a role here.

Yes you do sound a little bit "catty" I love the fact that women age gracefully and naturally today. I applaud them. Many celebrities have plastic surgery, use botox and all sorts of things to look younger than they are. I think that is sad. Someone who ages gracefully and can still wear minis, and heavy eye shadow and a bikini is alright with me.

A bit sad isn't! I saw my old classmates' pic on Facebook, even the prettiest ones have begun to fade.

I don't know? I think you are just describing what time does to us. However, some people do better than others.

I was just reading about a lady an actress from the Latin American Soaps and she looks really great for 52 years old but the comments from the people were quite out of place.
She does look really good and I don´t envy her.
I can admire someone like that.
She works out every day and uses a lot of cosmetic creams but what the heck she looks good.
Us girls have to cope with so many hormonal changes as I was trying to tell someone the other day I wonder we get to be looking so good at our age too.
Sadly to do all that special stuff you have to have pots of money that does really help.

I am shocked sometimes by the concept they have of themselves specially women.
They follow all those diets and things that might do more harm than good.
La Bardot has always been beautiful, Gina Lollobrigida, and Sophia Loren too.
One who seems to have taken the aging thing well is Diana Rigg she lets them take photos of her and not afraid to be who she is.

@lovinangelsinstead21 Just checked Diana Rigg, she was beautiful wasn't she. With age, her beauty just changes to another type, that's all.

@YrNemo In fairness, that old lady knows how to groom herself, and looks beautiful even at that age, but most beautiful during her teenage life... She deserves to be exalted with that.

imdb has her height wrong then 
. I was surprised seeing that, since I know that 1.66m is not that tall, yet I saw her in posters & movies with significant height for a lady.
Thanks for that, let hope imdb was wrong about other people's particulars too (like Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who played Harry Potter was not that tall. Last time I checked, they quoted him as 1.7m, this time, only 1.65m, ouch!)1 person likes this

One said, 'that's it, nice weather from now on, no more rain, halleluiah!' The other one chuckled, 'you twit, can't you see the black cloud over there?' The first one shrieked, 'How dare you, I am not a twit!'. The grandma bird cleared her throat, 'tweet or twit, who care! just be quiet!'
I only managed to hear that much...

@poehere On my bucket list! One Tahiti to visit (We did plan to go there a couple of years ago, but the plan changed. The in-law was supposed to meet up with us there for 3 weeks. In the end, they couldn't make it, so we went to see them in Toronto instead.

Thanks for that, I was a bit worried in case I got misunderstood. I so admire ladies who preserve their beauty that long. It is almost like a competition to see who wins the game.

You are right. Someone pointed out to me that if a person lived a happy life, she would be likely blossom with time and vice versa. (perhaps it applied to men too?)

I do not know whether I look younger than my age but some have said so.
Some do look younger but others much older.
I, sometimes, take a guess when I meet someone whether that person is younger or older than me.
Nowadays I meet mostly younger people unlike when I was younger! siva

It is difficult to guess some people's age once they pass a certain mark, say, 40. Say, I met a chap whose look was a bit like one of my older siblings. So I happily chatted to him like chatted to an older person, only to find out that he was 15 yrs younger than me. I was so shocked that time and swore to myself since that I should never ever play that game of guessing again.

No I don't think you're catty. The first lady soujnds beautiful, and I hope I will be able to age well. The second lady with big eyelashes - well, sometimes I wonder that too - when I see an older person trying to wear "young" clothes or make up. Sometimes it works and sometimes it just doesn't.

Perhaps by observing them, I try to get some tips to make myself look better?
