[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]Now wondering if the blazer I have on today is an emotional support blazer.

I have a very stark memory of being home on maternity leave in the early aughts and seeing a TV add (this was before DVRs so I had to watch the ads) for Boflex or something with this ripped woman in a tiny string bikini, and at the end of the ad she said "And I'm a grandmother!"  And with my post-partum body, I thought to myself --- this is a sign of the end-of-days.

[/b]Seriously, our grandparents just did not have this pressure to look great after menopause.  They were expected to look good, meaning appropriately put together (clean, nice jewelry, actual shoes, probably a dress that is ironed, etc.) but no one expected them to look bang-able, unless they were Sophia Loren.  [b]On the one hand, I'm glad no one expects me to wear heels and pantyhose.  On the other hand, I'm really sick of caring about my meno-pot and my crows feet.  [/quote]

This. I actually envy that people were allowed to just naturally look old. Think about how many septuagenarians are now feeling the pressure to hit the gym after Dolly’s halftime performance. [/quote]
