I'm 54 and thought I was looking pretty good in the chin/neck department until one night when I was leaning over my husband and he remarked, "Your neck looks like a chicken's." He swears he never uttered such a thing, but, believe me, he did. :-)Prill Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586202626442746356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592639442830566983.post-60395059205467860682009-03-03T15:57:00.000-05:002009-03-03T15:57:00.000-05:00Diana - My motto - lie flat on your back so everyt...Diana - My motto - lie flat on your back so everything sags away from your face not down towards your feet, lol!<BR/><BR/>And thanks for your comments and joining the SATURDAY SOAPBOX meme for Boomer Power!<BR/><BR/>I appreciated your comments on the inaugural post: <A HREF="http://popartdiva.blogspot.com/2009/03/soapbox-saturday-wasting-our-elders.html" REL="nofollow">Are We Wasting the Resources of our Elders?</A> and look forward to your insights and contributions!<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.popartdiva.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">PopArtDiva™</A>, crusading for Power to the Boomers!Pop Art Diva Enterpriseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03656961325856447179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592639442830566983.post-32656170592625366882009-02-26T11:56:00.000-05:002009-02-26T11:56:00.000-05:00Oooh, ooh, me!

I'm with you there Ladies. <BR/> The bad thing is when you<BR/>have children late in life. First you deal with being the older MOM or worse yet mistaken for Grandma. Then you move in to the phase where I am. My middle son is getting married next month and I can't find a turtleneck evening dress in the "mother of the groom" section. I mean-- Yikes--how can they possible expect me to wear that strapless thing? What's left of my boobs certainly won't peek up above the dress and the double chin, wrinkles on the neck and aging skin is not exactly what I want to put on display. So what<BR/>do you do? Maybe I could go as <BR/>one of those mysterious shawl wrapped gypsy women? Then again--probably not! <BR/>KatrinaKatrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04073573682040136848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592639442830566983.post-69857632521802376212009-02-26T09:21:00.000-05:002009-02-26T09:21:00.000-05:00Yes, and we all must watch out for low flying bird...Yes, and we all must watch out for low flying birdies who "deposit" mid-flight over our up-titled heads! <BR/><BR/>Pffht!<BR/><BR/>So glad to know I'm not alone and that the world over women are encouraging each other to "Chin up!"<BR/><BR/>d.d.Diana Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06177915857090560626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592639442830566983.post-61661124718545570932009-02-26T07:10:00.000-05:002009-02-26T07:10:00.000-05:00I'd only be okay holding my head back far enough t...I'd only be okay holding my head back far enough to make my chin(s) disappear if I don't walk in the rain.

I think it comes from being in a critique group where nearly every person is years younger than I am. Anyway, I've also found it helpful to pose ever so coquettishly with your hand just caressing your chin. Gently though, or you'll end up exaggerating droopy jowls. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592639442830566983.post-68355519962835774282009-02-25T16:06:00.000-05:002009-02-25T16:06:00.000-05:00Regan, I cannot imagine you EVER having that probl...Regan, I cannot imagine you EVER having that problem! <BR/><BR/>And, Mary, well, I was kind today and didn't post your picture from yesterday's taping.<BR/><BR/>Oh, good grief.
