<P>At 50 you looked 40. At 60 you looked 35. Sixty-two saw you frolicking in the 
surf in a high-cut bikini. Sixty-four saw you finally cashing in your frozen 
eggs and giving birth to twins. Your 65th birthday was a riot of canapés and 
young lovers. By midnight you were deep in a conversation about Gurkhas; by dawn 
you were deep in a too-hot hot-tub, swatting away invitations to stand for 
parliament. There was a period, moons ago, when you felt invisible, but then the 
millennium broke and suddenly you were allowed into Topshop. You learned about 
belting at the waist and how to work a Westwood basque. You learned what MILF 
stood for. You learned that, with kind lighting, you were comfortable posing 
nude for a charity calendar, and that your grey pound was holding up nicely 
against the dollar. You learned that age, dear, is nothing but a number of 
small, non-invasive treatments.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7FFAAE6E-8E1F-446B-AEF4-D394C91AE4E5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
