DO the DEW or GROW OLD

It would seem that if you live in China, you love to party and you value your youth, you have to "do the Dew" to stay young!

This is what you're supposed to take away from Mountain Dew's Chinese ad campaign. The writing supposedly translates as follows:

19-year-old Rita didn't do the Dew.

GGO NEWS: JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT FEELS SHE SHOULD BE OLDER THAN SHE IS

Thanks to ChronoEclipse.

In a recent interview with Collider.com, Jennifer Love Hewitt, or Love as she's called by her friends, was quoted saying:

“I think I just became a grown-up in life. Sometimes I feel I’m supposed to be older than I am, and then I have these moments where I go, ‘Oh, but wait a minute, I really am just now supposed to be a grown-up. I’ve just been doing this a really long time’."

Older huh? My, my, miss Hewitt… be careful what you feel or say, else someone with the talent may age your face as I believe Youthdrain once did in this photo here.

GGO Birthday - ERIKA ELENIAK

I have to admit that Erika Eleniak was favorite of all the Baywatch women. I always imagined that she'd be fat by the time she hit middle-age but she's proven me wrong.

Erika took another step further into her forties today. She turns 41!!! She's holding up fairly well however, as you'll notice in the accompanying recent picture, Father Time has taken to her face and body with a fine tipped pencil.

Observe the lines creeping in beneath her beautiful blue eyes; the lips that are pruning with every ooh sound that emanates from her lovely mouth and the lines surfacing with every gentle squishing of her breasts. Sigh. Heaven.

AGE PROGRESSION REFINED

There aren't that many artists out there who show off their age progression skills on the Web. Of the few, there is one that shines and her experience and exceptional skill has been in demand for years. Her name is Dr. D'Lynn Waldron. I discovered her work a few years back and this is one work of hers that I keep coming back to.

If you find any age progressions of women that inspire you, please don't hesitate and send it along to me at timethumper@gmail.com. I'll post it and share with everyone else.

GGO Birthday - JOAN JETT

The hard-rockin, hard-livin' Joan Jett, ex-Runaway, turns an unbelievable 52 today. Is it just me that finds it hard to wrap their mind around the idea of women rockers are growing old? I've grown accustomed to seeing men rock stars grow old such as Mick Jagger and Robert Plant. JOAN JETT… FIFTY TWO!? Weird. She's still looking hot though.

LIFE'S TOO FAST

Intriguing. Wouldn't you say?

Osteoporosis Illustrated

For those of you who've never scoured the Web for interesting depictions of women aging, I share with you this great illustration from A.D.A.M. that shows how osteoporosis affects a woman's posture. I've always loved it and I can't wait until my "old" lady resembles this drawing someday.

Vanessa Hudgens Older Than She Appears?

Vanessa is actually 78 years old?

I came across an interesting little tidbit way back when about High School Musical star, Vanessa Hudgens. Apparently, she's so worried about aging that she's already using anti-wrinkle cream at the tender age of 21. I had posted about it before I never shared what she was quoted saying. I also found a new pic of her looking older.
     Earlier this year, she was quoted as saying:

“I’m already starting to use anti-aging. You might as well start sooner than later because products are really amazing these days. You might as well start now, put a little lotion on rather than having to get wrinkles. I think it’s smart to start soon, really. It’s a good beauty tip."

   Hmm… I'm thinking that maybe she's actually much older than she claims and that this is what she actually looks like. Maybe she's come across some kind of miracle cream and she's really 78 years old.

GGO Birthday - FAITH HILL

Audrey Faith Perry a.k.a. country/pop singer Faith Hill celebrates her 43rd birthday today and she's certainly looking it in these recent photos. Her cheeks are falling, the lines on her neck are becoming more evident and she's dressing frumpy. She'll most likely make a cute granny.

Aging Beauty Returns to V

Actress Jane Badler will be reprising her role as the venomous Diana, 27 years later, on the second season of the  revamped V series.
     She was the hottest thing about the original series and I'm certainly looking forward to seeing an older, wiser and indeed, judging by recent of pictures of her on the web, sexier Diana.
     I hope this leads to better things for her including a nude Playboy shoot (one can dream). She looks like she's still rockin' that body.
     The second season of V premieres on ABC in November but a specific date has yet to be announced.

GGO Birthday - JACQUELINE BISSET

She still has what it takes to make a man weak in the knees. The alluring Jacqueline Bisset turns 66. She may be old but those cheekbones have withstood the test of time. She came out of the tunnel of menopause intact and hasn't gained any excess weight as most women do.
     She is still stunning despite the many wrinkles on her face and Avon has taken notice. They recently signed her to be the spokeswoman for their ANEW anti-aging skin care line. Check out her photos from the marketing campaign. HOT!!!

GGO Birthday - AMY IRVING

The once hot-piece-of-ass ex-wife of Steven Spielberg, Amy Irving moves one year closer to the big six-O. She turns 57 today.
     Likely fighting the effects of menopause and looking somewhat wrinklier than she used to, Amy isn't quite as appealing as she used to be. I'd be more interested to see her show off her natural hair color which I suspect is a solid gray now (above and below). Yum.

A Month Without GGO???

We're BAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!
    Sorry my peeps! My internet was down and posting was made difficult over the last 30 or so days. But GGO is back and the admiring of aging women will go on once again.
    Here's a photo of a lovely older lady (to hold you over until my next post) who, most likely, was a hot, sassy, blonde, California girl in her glorified youth. Now she's probably trying to hold on to those days by posing nude, ignoring the fact that she's heavier, saggier and wrinklier. I think she's still sexy. Don't you?

Young Woman No Longer

I love to compare pictures of a woman in her youth to pictures of her at an older phase of her life. Here's one that I recently found. I'd say that she's about 55 in the recent photo and about 21 in the youthful image. Cute in her youth and still rather cute at middle-age. Agreed?

Holy Crap! HEATHER IS OLD!

Nuff said.

Lexicon of Aging Female Parts

Here's an interesting article that I quite enjoyed from the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail:

Obsession with aging female parts has created a new body lexicon

Ladies of a certain age, the best that can be said is, welcome. Congratulations are not necessarily in order. After all, who asks to find herself here, over the hump, in midlife? Who wanted to arrive in this territory, even though everyone knew it existed and could see others inhabiting it?
     Never mind. (Pause here for a sigh of reluctant acknowledgment. Or to mourn.) Few like it here much, especially in summer, the season for baring the body. Just to underscore the point, along comes August's Age Issue of Vogue, with women complaining about their no-longer-perfect bodies - from eyebrows gone haywire to shoulders with brown and red spots.
     Many women fight tooth and bicep to delay arrival to this place. Midlife makes them feel invisible to men and somehow diminished, despite their accomplishments. No wonder all those big, fancy cosmetics companies and plastic surgeons frame their age-defying pitches in the feminist language of "rights" and "choices." They understand that some women see youthful physical beauty as an expression of their power.
     But do not colour your thoughts along with your grey roots.
     Such is women's obsession with the tyranny of their aging bodies - some might even call it a body dysmorphic disorder - that they develop names for the various age-signifying bits that can seem as offensive as teenage behaviour, prompting a need for strict control (in this case intervention in the form of diet, exercise, cream, injection or scalpel).
     The names suggest annoyance, never love or fondness of the type men have for some of their parts.
     Which is unfortunate. Don't you love your teenager, despite his long, greasy hair?The cure, ladies, is to laugh. To wit, a list of the best names for the worst afflictions.

The Bitch Wrinkle:

Also known as Chapter Eleven (an appropriate illusion to bankruptcy, given the cost of Botox). It's that wrinkle - some have two parallel lines - between the eyebrows.

Bunny Lines: Sounds cute, but they are not. Small lines from the tear duct of the eye up the bridge of the nose.

Crow's Feet:

No explanation needed.


The Parentheses: Or Bracket. The lines on either side of the nose, running to edge of the lips. Why not stick with Deep Smile Folds, or DSF, for short? At least that name suggests you have been having fun.


Quilting Pattern: 

When wrinkles start to form in a horizontal pattern along with the vertical ones. Found primarily on the lower cheek.

Vampire Dinner Lips: 

We could call the lines around the lips by their quasi-medical term, perioral wrinkles. But that's not much fun. Better to follow Diana Athill's lead. In her recent memoir, Somewhere Towards the End, she wrote of the aging process with an admirable sense of humour. "One of my dearest old friends could never get it into her head that if, when doing herself up for a party, she slapped on a lot of scarlet lipstick, it would soon come off on her teeth and begin to run into the little wrinkles round the edge of her lips, making her look like a vampire disturbed in mid-dinner."


Ringed Tree Trunk: Also known as the Ropey Neck. We have Nora Ephron to thank for drawing our attention here. In her book, I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman, she observed, "You have to cut open a redwood tree to know how old it is, but you wouldn't have to if it had a neck."


Gludgeons: Otherwise known as Dewlaps. The little bulge of skin where the arm meets the torso. Vogue named the body part in their August 2008 Age-less Issue.

Bingo Wings: Or Dinner Lady Arms. Even Madonna, a super-fit 50-year-old pop star, was revealed to have them - the flabby undercarriage of the upper arms - when she waved to fans earlier this month.

Alluvial Fan: Pattern of lines formed on upper chest. They drain into the cleavage. Some midlife women refrain from sleeping on their sides to prevent their formation.

Crepey Cleavage: 

Not worth displaying with the same confidence the area once inspired.

The Shelf or Bosom: A formidable prow of a ship with which a matron can sail into a room.

Saddlebags: Carried on the outer part of the thighs at the top. Can lead to a state of being known as The Waist-less Wide-bottom.

Cellulite: Well, duh.

Menopot: Also known as The Pooch.

Old Lady Butt: 

Or Saggy Booty. Also afflicts old men (as evidenced with Jack Nicholson in Something's Gotta Give). Can be seen on the young, too: Celebrity watchers have outed Jessica Simpson and Lindsay Lohan as having Diaper Booty. (Yes, the droopy butt has several names.)

Suitcase Knees:

They are padded and bulky. Skinny, exercise enthusiasts develop Shar-Pei Knees: wrinkled folds that droop.

GGO Birthday - ROSANNA ARQUETTE

Those of you not familiar with today's birthday girl, Rosanna Arquette, should know that she was quite the heartbreaker in her day. She managed to cast a spell on tons of musicians. Even inspiring the band Toto to write their hit song Rosanna. The aging hottie turns 51 today. Maybe she'll inspire the world's first GILF songs sometime in the near future!

Ten Years Later

Here's an awesome example of how a woman's body changes in ten years. This is what the author of the photo wrote about it on his Flickr page:

"Both pictures were taken at the Terra Cotta Inn nudist resort in Palm Springs on May 2nd. One in 2000, the other in 2010. Spot the differences?"

Hell, I'll spot the differences! A double chin is developing. Her breasts hang noticeably lower (and are pierced). Her tummy is slightly distended with folds forming around her belly button. Lines and wrinkles around her neck and cleavage and some sag around the armpits. Incredible! Simply incredible. Don't you think? Did I miss anything? Leave a comment and let us know. :-)

GGO Birthday - GERI HALLIWELL

Time's got nothing on Ginger Spice. It's Geri Halliwell's birthday today and she's just 2 years shy of the big four-O, turning 38.
     Gotta say, she's in the best shape she's ever been and still quite fetching. Will the same be said of her ten years from now?

GGO Birthday - LONI ANDERSON

WKRP in Cincinatti's smart, blonde, bombshell Loni Anderson turns 65 today!!! Ready for retirement, baby!
     She was quite the phenom in her day and she still looks good but I wonder what her face would have looked like without all that cosmetic surgery. To get a better visual in your mind's eye, just take a look at the lines on her neck and cleavage.
     I also wonder how that swimsuit fits these days.
     Happy birthday Loni!

If It Ain't Broke... Don't Break It!

Why do the beautiful women of the world insist on fighting Father Time?
     I mean, in my opinion, if a woman is beautiful in her youth then, if she takes great care of herself, she will grow to be a beautiful older woman too (no matter how many wrinkles and sags she acquires). Look at Jane Seymour, Lynda Carter, Susan Sarandon and Helen Mirren; four gorgeous older women who have seemingly not tampered with their faces and still manage to look gorgeous.
     Lara Flynn Boyle (40) on the other hand is far from being considered ancient just yet and she has already managed to make a mess of her pretty looks with plastic surgery. I found this tidbit on the LaneyGossip.com gossip blog. If you'd like to see more of the recent pictures of Lara and to read Laney's insight on the matter, click here.

GGO News: Supermodel Dares to Go Gray - Catholic Online

I'm not usually one to visit religion-based sites, but one in particular, Catholic Online, happened to post an item about supermodel Kristen McMenamy. She's 45 and she's been posing for photos lately with her hair au naturel. She has forgone using dyes and she's kickin' it cougar-style.
     Observe how she has changed in the last 23 years. Yowza! She's still pretty hot, if you ask me.
     You can read the article here.

Angelina Revisited

A little while back I posted a news item on how Angelina Jolie was quoted saying that she likes "getting older." With it, I posted an age-progressed image of her face. Just recently, I found another well-done age progression but this one also ages her body. I don't read Spanish but I believe it comes from a Bolivian tabloid paper/
     Not bad huh? I think Angelina will age fairly well. Look at those saggy titties.

Warehouse 13 - TV Age Progression

Syfy Channel aired an episode of Warehouse 13 titled Age Before Beauty this week, in which several runway models end up missing or dead after having their youth stolen from them.
As with any good AP-themed show, a beautiful, female, main character gets involved. In this case, beautiful U.S. Secret Service agent Myka goes undercover as an up and coming model. She eventually is subjected to the same aging effects that the dead or missing models had been.
     I pasted together some of the key moments from the episode; moments that I particularly enjoyed. The make-up wasn't half bad IMHO.
     Myka is portrayed by the beautiful Joanne Kelly. I think I'm in love with her. Anyway, I strongly urge you to watch this episode if you are interested in age progression.

GGO Birthday - LISA KUDROW

Look who's turning 47!!!

Friends star, Lisa Kudrow, is nearing old lady status as she experiences menopause in her middle years. See in the picture how she's developed numerous lines around the eyes, on the forehead and it seems, most noticeably, on her neck! She's also got a double chin and pruning lips. She has GOT TO BE GRAY under those blonde locks. Don't you think?

GGO Birthday - ALEXANDRA PAUL

Can you believe that Baywatch's Alexandra Paul is middle-aged? WOW! She still looks amazing. I'd say, even better than ever. She turns 47 today as her pubes go a little gray and her ass hangs slightly lower.

Carmen Electra’s Hot Aging Body - Hollywood Tuna

My favorite "hot babes" site, Hollywood Tuna, posted recent pics of Carmen Electra showing off her wrinkly arm flab. She looks good but should a 38-year-old already have arm flab?

Check out the rest of the pics at Hollywood Tuna.

WTBT #3

In this installment of Will This Become That?, we take a look at Sarah Michelle Gellar. You know how they say that if you want to see how a woman will age, just take a look at her mother? Well, take a look at Sarah's mother. Things do not bode well for our dear Sarah. They look a hell of a lot like each other face-wise. Body-wise? We love Sarah. She's beautiful but that can fade. Let's just hope that Freddie didn't marry her based on looks alone. Poor Sarah.

Something for Our Japanese Friends

We have a lot of fans from Japan so I thought I'd commission an age-progressed drawing from YouthDrain of a manga character. I'm not sure who this "cat girl" is but YouthDrain aged her for us to middle-age and then to old age. I love his work. Don't you love it too?

Gray Hair Revealed!!!

J.Lo a.k.a. GrayLo

Every so often, I plan to post a doctored photo of a celebrity who we know or suspect is hiding a head of white or gray under a coat of dye.

Today, we tackle Jennifer Lopez who celebrated a birthday 3 days ago. J.Lo turned 41 on the weekend and we know that she's hiding a salt-and-pepper doo under that coat of brown paint. We were first clued in on the fact when shots of her from the 2006 NCLR Alma Awards appeared on the web showing off some obviously gray roots.

What do we think she looks like sans dye-job? Look no further but here, folks! It's amazing how much a gray head of hair will age a woman's looks. Don't you think? Hmm... one wonders if the carpet matches the drapes.

Never Too Old for Boudoir

My girlfriend is insecure about her body. Sure she could maybe lose a couple of kilos but I still love her and I still think she's very sexy as she is right now. I like to think that, as the years go by and she matures, she'll grow more confident and won't be so shy about her body. Hopefully, it will lead to her scheduling a session with a photographer 30 years from now and she'll surprise me with some sexy boudoir photos.

    In searching the net for some new and interesting pics, I stumbled upon the work of a photographer named Mike Lester who specializes in boudoir photography of mature women. Here are some examples of his work:

Check out the rest of Mike's work here.

GGO Birthday - HELEN MIRREN

If I'm going to be honest, I have to say that today's featured birthday girl is arguably the sexiest and most beautiful  65-year-old actress in the world. I defy you to name another 65-year-old actress who has more raw sexual vibe and is better preserved than the talented Helen Mirren.
     She gives me a boner every time I see her naked in a movie (which is practically every film she's appeared in to date).
    Okay, she's getting older and, as you can see from the beach pics from last year, her cellulite is fairly obvious these days but she's still sexy, especially for her age. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing her act nude when she's 75! "Down boy!" (I'm talkin' into my crotch).

Hudgens Uses Anti-wrinkle Cream - WENN.COM

Odd piece of news about Vanessa Hudgens from last week. Hmm, so if she weren't to use the anti-wrinkle cream, would she look like this?
