GGO Birthday – EVA LONGORIA

AS OF TODAY, actress Eva Longoria has both feet firmly set into her forties. The sassy brunette, who currently stars in Telenovela on NBC, turns 41 today. She has always been a ravishing beauty. Time will tell if that will still be the case in 30 years. What do you think? Are her best years behind her or are they yet to come?

GGO Birthday - KATE WINSLET

THE FABULOUSLY TALENTED Kate Winslet with whom I fell in love with 20 years ago in Heavenly Creatures turns a ripe 40 years of age today. If you ask me, she still has plenty for me to be in love with for at least the next 20 years.
     Be sure to check her out in the new Danny Boyle film, Steve Jobs.

GGO Birthday - SALMA HAYEK

I CANNOT BELIEVE that the ravishing Salma Hayek, with breasts that were meant to feed the world, is turning 48 today!
     I'll never forget the day I first laid eyes on them– um, I mean HER in 1995's Desperado. She took my breath away and she still does so today. I mean, look at her in the picture to the left. That was taken THIS YEAR at the Grown Ups 2 premiere. Hubba hubba!
     We haven't seen her breasts out in awhile. I think it's safe to assume that they are likely to be as well-preserved as the rest of her. Let's hope her girls make a return to the silver screen some time in the future. Heck, I think I'd still be interested in seeing them in 20 more years from now!
     For those of you who missed out on her handful of nude scenes, here's a screenshot of her nude scene in Frida (2002), doctored to restore Salma's beautiful eyebrows.

BACK TO THE NOW: Lea Thompson Living Through Her BTTF Age

IN A RECENT INTERVIEW with HuffPost Live, actress Lea Thompson addressed the fact that she is now the same age as her role in Back to the Future 2. " By the way, she happens to be turning 53 tomorrow!

     Here's the link: "Lea Thompson: I've Finally Aged Into My 'Back to the Future' Character".

     It's pretty cool to see how her face has aged in comparison to what the makeup artists envisioned for the movie. Click on the image to get a closer look at the numerous wrinkles on her face.

     Too bad that we have to wait another 25 years to see how Grandma Lorraine compares to Grandma Lea.

GGO Birthday - ALYSON HANNIGAN

THE CAST OF BUFFY is getting up there in age... Happy birthday to Alyson Hannigan who turns a ripe 40 today. Can you believe that? I know I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the concept that Willow is now middle-aged.
     A great big thank you to YD for doing me a solid and aging Alyson in Photoshop and giving us a preview of what she may look like in another 15 to 20 years from now.

SIDE BY SIDE - MERYL STREEP

BLESS THE PERSON who put together this side-by-side comparison of Meryl Streep on Tumblr. It serves as a great study on how a beautiful woman's face ages. The creases and folds that have developed fascinate me so much.
     The photo on the left was taken in 2013 and she is 64 years old. The one on the right was shot in 1979 when she was 30 years old, back when she had worked on Kramer vs. Kramer.

Peculiar but Intriguing

AS CERTAIN WOMEN AGE (men too) they can lose their teeth, given to poor higiene or even unfortunate genes. Well, here's a Tumblr site that visualizes big-name celebrity women without their chompers.
     A lot of these images are quite funny to look at including the one pictured here of Sofia Vergara. It kinda gives you a glimpse of what she will look like as a toothless old lady many years from now.
    So, I encourage you take a look at the rest of these toothless grins on the Actresses Without Teeth Tumblr blog.

Oh! Goddesses Can Age Too!

OKAY, MAYBE IT'S A LITTLE FAR-FETCHED FOR ME TO REFER TO KATIE HOLMES AS A GODDESS but there was a time when I thought that she was "all that." Looky here though! In a photo posted by the Huffington Post, she's sporting a few grey strands of hair!  Nice huh? Are they real? Possibly. Of course, she may be donning it for a film she's currently working on. Personally, I like to think that it's real. At 34, it's normal to have a few strands here and there. Most women dye it. I'm hoping she keeps them dye-free. She'll be looking like Grumplebits' age progressed image in no time.

JULIANNE MOORE BEACH BOUND

I LOVE REDHEADS. One of my favorite redheads in the world happens to be actress, Julianne Moore. I'm assuming that she's in the the throes of menopause given that she is 52 years old. I don't think it has slowed her down though. She looks awesome rockin' that black bikini top in Hawaii. Too bad that she's wearing shorts instead of a bikini bottom–I would have like to have seen a little more of her.

GGO Birthday - JANE FONDA

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE that sexy Barbarella has turned 75 today! Jane Fonda was quite the hottie when she was 31 years old. Forty-four years later and the "queen of the galaxy" looks like she's holdin' on to that fantastic physique. Just a few minor sags, liver spots and wrinkles here and there but ultimately she looks pretty good for someone facing the big 8-0 on the horizon. Happy birthday Jane and keep doin' those workouts. 

GGO Birthday - GWYNETH PALTROW

GWYNETH TURNS 40 TODAY!

All is great in the world. YAY!

Note: Thanks to B.O.B. for the nifty age progressed image of her.

GGO Birthday - ROSE McGOWAN

I've always considered Rose McGowan to be one of the most beautiful women around but lately I feel like she's been toying with nature. Like in this photo, doesn't she seem that her face has been pulled? A little nip here... hmmm... a little tuck there... collagen here, maybe? I certainly don't think she's ever needed it. Today, Rose turns 39. T-minus one year before she's FORTEEEEE! Maybe she's getting insecure. Damn, I was so looking forward to watching her age gracefully, "sans-plastique." Maybe I'm wrong, but the odds of a female Hollywood celebrity not going under the knife as she grows older are very slim nowadays.

I guess that we'll never get to see her look like she does in this age progression by Grumplebits of Worth1000.com (below):

 Happy birthday Rose.

AGING QUOTES: Kate Beckinsale

WHEN ASKED by Allure Magazine how she feels about aging,  Kate Beckinsale (who celebrates her 39th birthday tomorrow) had the following to say:

"What is it about a woman being in her late 30s that brings out the 'Oh, my gosh, are you worried?' questions? Worried? What about? Thirty-eight, 39, 40, 50! Great! Still alive! It's more of the thing of being embarrassing to somebody. I haven’t been embarrassing before. I can't dance at a party where there are teenagers without clearing the dance floor. Those are the things that make me go, 'Fuck, I'm old. . . .' When you're a parent, everyone leaves."

Gee, I don't think Kate could ever embarrass me on the dance floor–I've got two left feet... always have. Besides, she'll always be a hottie.

GGO Birthday - SOFIA VERGARA

ONE OF TODAY'S most sexual women on TV celebrates her 40th birthday AND announces her engagement. Yowza! Modern Family's Sofia Vergara certainly looks incredible for her age. Let's hope the beautiful latina siren ages as well into her 70s as is illustrated here by Diego U.

AGING ON FILM: Julia Roberts in Mirror Mirror

HAVE YOU ever wondered what Julia Roberts will look like 35 years from now? Well, look no further. Thanks to the recent theater release of Mirror Mirror, you can see her as an old crone on a twenty-two-foot-tall movie screen near you. Our dear Julia is currently starring as the Evil Queen opposite Lily Collins' Snow White character and in a scene where she transforms into an old lady, she appears to be around 80 years old through the skillful application of some great prosthetics and makeup.

WTF? Rose McGowan Old Before Her Time?

LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR...
I LOVE ROSE McGOWAN!
It pains me to say that she may have succumbed to the pressures of being a Hollywood star and got herself "Botoxified." It is an activity that I am totally against. Does her face not look stiff and frozen here? Aargh! What have you done Rose? I believe that it acts as a disservice to you. If anything, it refocuses attention to the parts of you that ARE aging such as your lids, your bags and sags (as illustrated). And is that collagen I see in your lips? Keep 'em natural! Keep everything natural. Let nature run its course! That's what I say. You are prematurely aging yourself. Everyone knows that I love and appreciate the older woman as well as the younger woman but I could have waited at least another 10 years to see you like this. You're stil beautiful and you're still on my "to do" list but please, don't touch that face! Or that body! BTW, your breasts look spectacularly supple.

Michelle Pfeiffer's Face

I have seen and met many-a-50-something-woman in my lifetime. And, for the most part, they've been of the portly and haggard variety. So, to see a 53-year-old Michelle Pfeiffer rock it out at the Elle 18th Annual "Women in Hollywood" event, still looking phenomenal, makes me hopeful for my own lady-love.
    However, take a close look at her face (click and enlarge this photo) she is indeed "aging" with the rest of the world and most likely experiencing menopause. Look at how many fine wrinkles her face contains. She's definitely 53 BUT she's still got it going on.

GGO Birthday - BRIGITTE BARDOT

Happy birthday to sex kitten Brigitte Bardot. She turns 77 today. You look at her photos from her youth and it's hard to believe that a fine specimen like herself has reached the age of 77. Mostly, it's hard to believe that she's developed as many wrinkles as she has and all that saggy, lined skin beneath her chin. Wow! Okay, many of you will think of me as a masochist to know that  I'd still be willing to see her strike a sexy pose in some skimpy lingerie, looking as she does today.

GGO News: No Face Work for Pamela Anderson

Baywatch alum, Pam Anderson was recently quoted as saying that she's not planning on ever getting any plastic surgery done in her future. She said, "It’s a personal choice. I think it was much more popular in the 80s. People are doing injections and Botox now, which I’m not really interested in. Everyone is telling me I should but I don’t care! I want to see what I look like when I get old."
     If that's the case, she should take a look at this Worth1000 artist's vision of her. IMHO, she'll be lucky if she ages as well as the Pam Anderson in the picture.

GGO News: Ricci's Fear of Showing Scary Old-Face

It seems that Christina Ricci is the oldest member of the cast of ABC's Pan Am and is afraid of coming off as looking old and scary on HD TV. The 31-year-old actress was quoted as saying as much by The Telegraph:

Telegraph.co.uk: Christina Ricci Defines vintage


Please excuse my poor attempt at aging someone with Photoshop. Chester and Youthdrain were both unavailable and so I did the best that I could.
