dear jane fonda

Okay...I'm probably going to get alot of flack for my comments...because, well...criticizing someone who looks this great at age 74 is commensurate with calling Mother Teresa a tart (of which I would never do because the woman was so amazing). However...while everyone else has been 'oooo-ing' and 'ahhhhh-ing' over JF's recent red carpet appearances at Cannes, I must admit I've been grimacing like the time I popped into my mouth what I thought was a bacon wrapped water chestnut and it ended up being a chicken liver....blech!


I know...you all probably think I'm nuts, but here's the deal. The older you get (and trust me, I speak from experience)...the more you need to simplify...everything...from what you eat to what you wear to how you apply your makeup. Twenty has come and gone like spit through a whistle and although your skin is now wrinkled and pooling around your ankles, it's still your skin and you've got to get comfortable in it. So...Janie dear...

...dial down the eye liner, send your hair back to the 1980's, quit wearing head-to-toe sequins and for heaven's sake, throw out every metallic eye shadow and lipstick you own.

All that said, I hope I look half as good as you in twenty years. Miss Bea
