Stupid Vanity

As I look into the mirror, I know that I have earned every wrinkle. My life hasn't been a lot of fun, and I am ready for God to let me come home.

I just started with the evening primrose oil ;) I always admired the more older distinguished look..But' as I get there ... I'm with you, yet life is truly a blessing still .At times I know when I was younger, I did not know the things I do now ;) Wisdom with the yrs gracefully ... hehe!

Mmmmmmm ...... Double edged compliment, said with best intentions but I'm a woman so ill twist it to my advantage! No. RL looks when young where great! I got a lot of attention (and I was a jeans and t-shirt girl). Think I was just lucky! Though I felt uncomfortable with it at times! Those were the days,eh!



Thank you for your compliment about recent times photo.:)



I don't know what you mean about button fronted dresses! *innocently twirls strand of hair*

Well I have to say in all honesty that you look more attractive in your 5 years ago pictures than you do in the older ones.



And those 80s fashions - I shall refrain from comment - but certainly not Fashions finest hours although button fronted dresses do have certain advantages!

Thank you for all lovely compliments!



And in most cases, it is the reverse for men - they DO improve with age!



*leaves room for private strop and huff!*



All Ok now! 'smiles brightly.



And many thanks for invitation to join your circle. I happily accept! :)

My Lady, My Muse. I believe you have always glided, for the grass doesn't even bend when you pass over it. I just know that with your big grin shining you are radiating your beauty even more so and brightening the world around you. And that's just as it should be. You were made to make the world a more wonderful place and you do your job exceedingly well.

I've stopped walking around but am now "strutting" *big grin*



Actually, no. As I am a Lady, I am gliding through doors "sideways" *even bigger grin*



And your still wonderful ........ not everyday a girl gets to be a "muse". It appeals to my artistic temperament!

And I responded that every poet has a muse, and I could have no more inspiring muse than my Lady Liquidgold.

Just left a message on your whiteboard saying you have a "poet's soul" and you have! xx

They are written in sincerity. You have such tremendous beauty that starts from deep inside of you and cant help but radiate from you. Embrace the lines, I doubt they are even noticeable to anyone else. Don't ever shut down displaying your beauty. The world needs all the beauty it can get and you have so much to share!!!



You are forever in my heart beautiful Lady. *catching your kiss and holding it dear to my heart*

My Gallant Knight again! I love you!!!!! :)



Human platypus! LMAO xxx



I certainly know that with an attractive character and personality a person becomes more attractive and also that this works in reverse.



Your right that a lot of teenagers have a "generic" look to them. I have always appreciated and been drawn to individuality and uniqueness - and that includes when I was much younger. I didn't exactly "go with the flow!"



And those are lovely words you have written - I know you have sent them with genuine sincerity and I think you are wonderful for that. *blows kiss*

The older I get the more beauty I find in age and aging. I think the character that life adds through the years makes someone more attractive and fascinating. Oh sure there are advantages to being in your 20s again, but have you noticed that everybody kind of looks a like at that age? It isn't until you get some distance from those years that people truly become individuals and more unique. Of course that is coming from someone so unique I describe myself as a human platypus. But I know you are only getting more stunning with each passing day. I've seen your pictures posted on EP and I think you are getting more beautiful (and you still look like you are in your early 20s even in your latest pictures.)

lol. i don't know what you look like but i'm sure you're very attractive :) what gets me are the health issues more than anything: changes in eyesight, the metabolism that has all but shut off, the aches and pains that i'm on a first name basis with now. i could go on and on but you get the picture lol

Hey there Jerrica! Bummer isn't it!



Think Dorian Gray had right idea - maybe I should try putting my portrait in attic. No wait - just chuck all photo albums up there. That might do the trick! LOL



And bloody health issues .... :(



Just popping across to check your story out! :)

i see nothing wrong with this story being posted in this group and i can definitely relate to what you say about the health issues that accompany getting older. that thought inspired me to write a story yesterday about getting older, how i can't see the benefits of it.

We're not talking 'basin bowl' haircut here,are we?!! LOL



Had one of those when I was twelve. *winces and shudders at memory*



Crop. Recent. Implies much longer locks?



I have long hair and even with bed hair, will try and keep tresses "as long" as can get away with it! :D

It was a while before I did post pictures for the same concerns - recognition. But the odds are so great against it that I thought what the hell ,,,,, and as you mentioned, I make use of the privacy settings ....



'you silver Tongue charmer' you!! I like that trait in a man!



Thank you for the compliment - appreciated :)

At least you have the courage to post your pics at all! I guess I'm too concerned someone will recognize me, which is silly, I know. I don't know anyone who's mentioned to me that they've discovered EP, and privacy settings can certainly be adjusted so that only friends can see my pics.



FWIW, your portraits are lovely indeed. You're bound to still be quite a looker, I'm sure. NOT that that matters... :-)

can relate....

There are others on this particular forum suffering from real depression so just want to say that I apologise for putting this particular story here.
