You Can’t Run and You Can’t Hide May 12, 2009

I have this fear of looking old. I don’t mind getting older, I just don’t want to look OLD.

Aging is no respecter of persons. I know that.

But . . .

I think people fall into three aging categories:

70% look a lot older with time
20% look about the same with time
10% look like they haven’t aged a day (Some of my friends look downright AMAZING with age. I’m like 50% happy for them and 50% jealous!)

Last night, David and I watched “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” I was so distracted by the aged Julie Ormond who plays the daughter in the movie, I hardly noticed the ugly little baby!

This is Julie Ormond in 1995 when she played Sabrina:

This is her 14 years later . . .

SHE IS 44 YEARS OLD! (I think she looks WAY OLDER than that!)

Men are not immune to this either . . .

I’m upping my nightime facial routine and slathering on the 50 sunblock this summer! My sister Jenn is just as paranoid as I am about looking old. She’s concoting a night cream that will be nothing short of wonderous. I have high hopes that this “exixir” will stop me from aging!
