I get no photos. What’s up?

Okay. I got it. Thanks. But I would just like to complain out loud about Goldie Hawn…or maybe I should be flattered. Either way, when I named my younger children Oliver and Kaitlin, I was feeling altogether original…until I heard that Goldie also had an Oliver and a Katie. Rats. And now, with a grandchild who’s middle name is Reider…(pronounced Ryder…) I’m totally flummoxed! Maybe we share the same “name fairy” or something. I don’t think I qualify for Gla-ma status, but I’m proud to say my eighth grandchild is due to arrive this fall. It’s a wonderful thing.

There is nothing wrong with still looking glam without overdoing it. Even if some of these women had plastic surgery, they made sure not to go overboard. My mom who was a beauty did have the bags under her eyes removed and nothing else. She remained beautiful for years after that until cancer took it’s toll—but on her hair, not her looks. People never believed her age.

If most of us had the good genes and financial resources of these ladies, there’d be nothing remarkable about them. If …

Picture any of these women without hair dye. It is obvious that the biggest change from our mothers generation to ours is the lack of gray hair. My mother was a beautiful Irish lady, but looked older than her years because she was prematurely gray. I say “better living through chemistry”

My son has just recently mentioned that he ‘hopes to have a child or two’ w/i the decade. [I’ll believe it when I see it…..he and his girlfriend live on separate continents.] And no one’s calling me grandma….Glam-ma…now that fits! In fact they can call me Glammy.

I enjoy being called “Oma”. I may not be a Glam-ma, but my husband and I were out to dinner with my mother and her friends, and one of them asked me if we were planning to have children. LOL! I have a 24 year old son and a 17 year old daughter.

Another hype on this obsession with age. Oh, looky here, she’s a grandmother, but she looks sooooo young! There was a time when grandmothers looked like grandmothers–– wonderful, wise, older looking women. Of course this was also at a time when mothers looked very different from their daughters––nowadays it’s hard to tell. Like my Nutmeg friend has said–– if it weren’t for the dye, the surgery, etc.–––but, hell, glamour is all, isn’t it? One wonders.

Oh, thanks for this! It’s great to see beautiful women in their 50’s and 60’s. I am avidly looking for models as I enter my 60’s.

It takes a lot of money, time and upkeep to keep looking that great. If you’ve got it, well, go for it.

Hey, you left out one of the most gorgeous grandmothers in the world…. Sophia Lauren. What were you thinking?!

I click on the names of the stars and … nothing. It says “read more” about whoever and the same story comes up. What’s up with that?
