13311. Magoseph - 1/14/2005 11:56:41 PM Too much sun is not kind to women once they reach menopause, my mother always said to us girls. She added to illustrate her point-- look at at your great-aunt, the sun worshipper, how old she looks, how wrinkled, an old hag, that is what she has become. Well, since I thought then that my mother was Cassandra, I took her advice seriously. I have made many mistakes in my life, but I am happy to brag now, I don’t look like an old hag at all—Ask Judith if you don’t believe me. 13312. judithathome - 1/14/2005 11:59:40 PM You certainly don't! Magos has the most stunning complexion...and beautiful green eyes. 13313. thoughtful - 1/15/2005 12:14:38 AM My hubby's aunt was a sunworshipper despite her italian background and dark complexion, she turned into a prune at an early age...skin reminded me of an elephant's...thick and wrinkled.
There's a secy in my office who loves the beach and turns very dark brown every summer. She knows better, but does it anyway. I think she will rue these days.
13314. thoughtful - 1/15/2005 12:18:18 AM They have all these bizarre plastic surgery shows on now. I was watching one where this older woman was remarrying and she wanted to look beautiful for her wedding so she had a face lift. Face lift looked beautiful. From the chin up she looked like she was 35. Only problem is, from the neck down she looked like Edith Bunker, shape, posture and all. She literally looked like a photo shop cut and paste job. It was really pathetic, but I guess she was happy. 13315. wonkers2 - 1/15/2005 12:36:56 AM The worst combination for skin is sun, smoking and booze. Guaranteed to make you look like 60 when your're only 50 or 80 when you're 65. 13316. arkymalarky - 1/15/2005 1:16:12 AM Hey Sea!
It occurs to me that if I said that rather than typed it it might sound like "hayseed!" I'll have to remember that. 13317. PsychProf - 1/15/2005 1:38:15 AM Thoughtful...Orient beach? If so, did you disrobe? 13318. PsychProf - 1/15/2005 2:01:23 AM Actually, some of the people on that beach should be required to wear clothing. 13319. thoughtful - 1/15/2005 5:07:24 PM No pp, we didn't go to a nude beach. We stayed on the french side and I informed my husband that I wasn't a convertible...my top did NOT come down.
I know what you mean about beach goers. I'm stunned how people from other lands seem to posess no self-consciousness about how they look. Recent NYT article about obese Brazilians...apparently with all the sugar in their diet, it's becoming a real problem there. It included this pic of the beach in Rio. The girl from Ipanema, it's not!
 13320. wonkers2 - 1/15/2005 5:53:01 PM Ugh! 13321. Ronski - 1/15/2005 6:32:58 PM But you have to admire how little they have issues with their corpulence. 13322. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/15/2005 7:58:46 PM And Brazilian guys like booty!
13323. robertjayb - 1/15/2005 8:03:50 PM Tasteful as always, Wiz. Whereyabin? 13324. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/15/2005 8:13:23 PM I'm preparing for a traveling exhibition in Italy, Robert and a ton of work has been dumped in my lap - not much time for web play.
HERE'S A PREVIEW if you have a PDF reader. 13325. PelleNilsson - 1/15/2005 8:32:41 PM Beautiful stuff, Wiz. 13326. judithathome - 1/15/2005 8:44:02 PM Oh Wiz...how cool! Where will you be going? To Palladian country? ;-) 13327. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/15/2005 9:27:21 PM Thank you, Pelle.
No Judith, the south. So far the venues will be Ragusa (Sicily), possibly Palermo, Naples and Rome. Ironically, all those images were inspired in the north - which may put off many southerners. 13328. judithathome - 1/15/2005 9:36:11 PM Truck 'em up north...they would sell like hot...pizzas...up there. Beautifully done, by the way...makes me want to book a flight! 13329. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/15/2005 9:39:08 PM Thanks. I'm hoping we can spend more time there after my wife retires. 13330. wonkers2 - 1/15/2005 10:25:58 PM Welcome back, Wiz.
