AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

*runs off to the gym*

[fivver]

OMG! *grabs ice pick, stabs eyes*

[Annie Where-but-here]

Oh, my, gawd....my eyes.....not enough bleach in the world....

[daisymae]

I see a new 'Reality' Show in the offing.

[slyeyes]

OK, I definitely think you can be over 60 and sexy; but you need to at least do a sit up or hundred once in awhile.

And tone the triceps.

And quads.

Oh, for the love of god, get them a mu-mu; STAT!

[AmerInParis]

Oh come on. I think it's cool... and somehow sweet and reassuring, all at the same time.

Besides, last night I was rereading some book about guys that describes male vision and how it enables middle-aged men with big bellies and their butts hanging out to think they're still stud muffins.

I think it's time the "granny" crowd has some sexy fun.

[that byotch cg]

backs up ameri, all those women have supportive men who loved) and appreciated them. i think that's a wonderful story, and obviously someone out there likes the way they look. if anyone needs me, i'm headed out for truffles!

[Jeff Tompkin]

I have to disagree with the last two posts, especially the defense that "obviously someone out there likes the way they look."

Yeah, sort of how people "like the way William Hung sings."

People are just humoring them because they're old. It's the same principle that drives people to encourage Regis Philbin.

Dave, please, please, please next time post the Do Not Open At Work warning but change it to Do Not Open But I'm Posting It Anyway.

[AmerInParis]

Jeff, when you're in your 80s, I hope that for financial reasons, you are forced to take a job as an elderly Chippendale dancer, are interviewed and venture to the blog comments, which I hope will not give you a heart attack.
;-)))

*applauds Amer and cg*

[AmerInParis]

Yeah for cg and DeskDiva!

As a soon-to-be 50 y.o. woman on several types of medication that make it impossible to lose weight, and who lives in the mecca of slim, I have now decided to buy myself some sexy lingerie for my BD!

[NotSoShyJan]

Sure, they can do it. Fine with me. But did that article have to include photos? Please pass the bleach.

[AmerInParis]

I meant Yay!!! and YAY!!!

And possibly WAOAHHHH, which is the French versions -- although I may have left out a vowel or two, or put in too many Hs.

Hmmm... I think a U is definitely involved, but oh well.

Live long enough in a foreign country and one day you discover that you have gained the ability to speak two languages badly.

[AmerInParis]

I liked the photos. I can imagine them singing "come on baby, light my fire" while dancing provocatively.

How's that for an image for you? ;-)

[Siouxie]

*UGH*

*pours eye bleach over stunned eyeballs*

Sorry, this is wrong in SO many levels.

*goes back to being sick*

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

It is possible to be older and still hot.
It is possible to be a BBW.

Those pictured are just fugly. Age and size bieng irrelevant at this point.

[Annie Where-but-here]

That photo is not there to prove older can be sexy. It's there for shock value. It IS possible to be older and still hot. This is not one of those cases.

I'm one of those cases, but that's my business. ;)

[Dr. Bob]

Mom?!

[Siouxie, old and HOT]

Me too, Annie.

Damn those hot flashes.

[O the U(manity)]

Annie? Siouxie?

Y'all aren't OLD ... to me ... (not commentin' on HOTness ... merely on chronology, frum a different perspective ...)

Is that worng?

[Siouxie]

Awww, thanks O!

NOW, you can comment on the HOTness ;-)

[AmerInParis]

For me sexy and hot are two different things. Sexy is a state of mind -- you don't have to have the good looks. Cleopatra wasn't supposed to be great-looking, but she could attract the men.

One can be a designated "hottie" like Paris H. but not necessarily be sexy.

And one shouldn't have to have a hot body to somehow be "entitled" to wear sexy clothes. This is something I struggle with -- and lots of other women -- the feeling that because I'm not young and hot I can't have fun with sexy clothes (the kind one does wear in public, not just lingerie).

While the tabloid, I agree, was going for shock value, I still applaud the women for saying "to heck" with what everyone thinks.

IMHO ;-)

And, PS, the last couple of weeks have been absolutely rotten and I've just changed diabetes meds because the one that can help you control your diabetes AND lose weight ALSO makes me fall over. The new stuff works, but, of course, weight gain is a common side effect.

So I'm feeling a wee bit touchy about the weight thing.

[Cheesewiz]

Internet Ipecac.

[O the U(manity)]

Siouxie & Annie are HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT ... (IMHO) ...

[O the U(manity)]

No disrespect intended, becuz SIOUXIE TOLD ME TO SAY THAT!!!

[Merri Lee]

It's still better than this

[gjd]

Amer, you are my new favourite person!

[AmerInParis]

Thx, gjd (checks to see that there are no other amers around). I think I feel better! ;-)

[Recovering 24 Addict]

And now I am blind. Thanks Dave.

[DeskDiva]

Agreed with gjd. And with EVERYTHING you said, Amer. I get it because I'm definitely a BBW - have been all my life. I'd like to eliminate that first "B," but it's a long-haul process, even with treatment. (See my blog for a glimpse inside my head...if that's not too frightening to contemplate!)

[Scott]

To each his/her own, I say. And to be honest, I think these women are pretty hot...

[Jeff Meyerson]

“Who’d want to see a gran get her kit off?” I chuckled to my hubby, Charlie.

What Chris said up there, and Annie. Whatever turns you on is fine but why do I have to look at the pictures?

Siouxie, you're definitely hot.

*send fans to So.Fla.*

Amer, in general I agree with your comments but putting those pictures in the newspaper was done for the same reason Amer!can idol runs shows with horrible singers who think they're (not their) good - to make fun of them and provoke laughs.

[JimW]

MY EYES!!!!!!!

Couldn't there have been a warning?!

[Rosie]

I'm too sexy for my dentures
Too sexy for my wheelchair
too sexy for my diapers
Too sexy
Too sexy
YeeaaH

[Siouxie, feeling HOT HOT HOT]

Thank you, gentlemen ;-)

[Moon]

NOOOOOOOOOOO, they DON'T! Sheesh.
