Tidbit from Maxim

Here's a little morsel from this year's June issue of Maxim Magazine. Pretty cool huh?

Just realized though... that's my girlfriend's age!!! Exactly! What does this mean?

New Art of Woman Aging

Friend of mine, who shall remain anonymous, created this image at my request. Isn't it awesome?

Fun Age Progression

I love seeing well-executed cartoon age progressions such as this one above by kungfumonkey posted on DeviantArt. Kungfumonkey has an awesome style and his keen observations on how a woman ages has allowed him to produce this fantastic illustration.

Cleavage Gettin' Old

I LOVE to see budding cleavage wrinkles such as those in this photo here. Don't you?

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.

FACE OF AGE by Stepan Kozlov

Here's a brilliantly executed series of photographs entitled Face of Age by photographer Stepan Kozlov. He juxtaposed young models with very similar older models to create a very effective age comparison. It looks as if half the face of each subject was zapped with an age-ray gun. I'm really impressed by his match-ups of young and old because they really do look like they are the same person at two different stages of life. He also has aged three men but who gives a shit about that. Right?

GGO Birthday - GWEN STEFANI

Happy 42nd birthday to Gwen Stefani! She may be the latest spokesmodel for L'Oréal Paris but Miss Gwen is fast approaching the age illustrated here by the talented Grumplebits from Worth1000.com. Who knows? Maybe she'll be the spokesmodel for L'Oréal Gériatrique when the time comes.

Chest Wrinkles... Why Not?

I was watching Dr. Oz yesterday with MY "old lady" and they had a small segment dealing with cleavage wrinkles. Now for those of you not too familiar with cleavage or chest wrinkles, they are usually caused by the squeezing together of a woman's two breasts as she sleeps on her side in the fetal position. It's also accelerated by the sun's UV rays. Ah, the sun, nature's youth-zapping weapon.

     Dr. Oz went on to say that you can prevent them by sleeping on your back and avoiding the sun's rays and that you can lessen their appearance by applying retinol creams at night and sunscreen during the day.
     I say, suck on it Dr. Oz. I love cleavage wrinkles. In fact, in the dark, I can touch them and follow them with my fingers using them as guides to her downward-pointing nipples and on those hot summer days, there's nothing like watching a bead of sweat trickle down one of those ravines from her supple neck right down to the ample, sagging mounds of her hot, mature feminitude.

What 30 Years Can Do

Here's an awesome Flickr find. This French lady loves and always has loved sunbathing in the nude and often enough, her husband posts her images for all to observe the splendor that she brings to the world.I wanted to show you a side-by-side comparison of the effects age has caused in 30 years. On the left you'll find her in her early 40s and on the right she is in her 70s. Isn't amazing how her posture has changed? How about how she's gained some weight? Or, my favorite change of all, how her breast has grown in size and now sags well below where it used to. She's extraordinary. Life is extraordinary. I love how a woman ages, it's beautiful. Wouldn't you agree?

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.

Fairy Tales Can Come True...

Snow White At 50 by *Bothellite on deviantART

I found this gem of an image. It's the envisioning by talented 3D artist, Bothelite on deviantART, of Snow White at 50 years of age. The artist was also thoughtful enough to include an interesting accompanying story. Dontcha just love the nip slip? I do.

Please take the time to leave Bothelite some great feedback. Maybe it'll encourage him to age other attractive fairy tale women.

High Fashion's High Toll on Amber Valetta's Beauty

Allow me to ask the following question: What if supermodel Amber Valetta had been born, way beyond yesterday, in the year 1899 and modeled throughout those years up to and including the year 2019?
     Would you be curious to see what she'd look like as she aged? Well, W Magazine and talented photographer Steven Klein did the imagining for us and came up with a brilliant "One for the Ages" photo shoot for the September 2011 issue.
     Amber is hot, without a doubt, and I'm convinced that, if she takes good care of herself, she'll age really well into her 60s and and possibly 80s. However, 120 years old? Judging by the photos, I'm not sure I'd want to hook up with her at that stage. Kinda creepy, if you ask me. Gotta admit though, my tastes have always leaned towards the more mature woman and the older I get, the older a woman I am interested in. So, based on that, when I'm 80 or 90, a 120-year-old woman may seem quite fetching to me.

You can read an interview about the shoot on the Forbes Web site:
FORBES: Amber Valletta On Aging Beautifully, Why Digital Photography Has 'Taken Away Our Humanness'

Anchorwoman Gone Old - ANNA FORD

I dare you to take a look at this beautiful specimen of a human being and tell me that you wouldn't want to "tap that ass."
     Anna Ford is a retired British journalist who worked as a news anchor for the BBC for many years. She was and still is a strikingly beautiful woman.
     In 2006, she retired from broadcasting and within a year of that she stopped dying her hair. It seemed like she had gone from brown to grey overnight.
     She will be soon turning 68 and if I had to make a list of 68-year-old women whom I would love to see naked and share a few intimate moments with, she would be at the top of my list. Phhht! I'm biting my fist just thinking about it.

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.

Back from Vacation

Sorry people. I was on vacation for the last week and I didn't have a chance to update the blog over the past 8 days. Sure enough, I'll continue posting as of later on today. Anybody get to admire a lovely aging lady over the course of the last week? I invite you to share your experience by leaving a comment.

Playmate Gone Old - ANGELA DORIAN

It's hard to believe that a Playboy Playmate of the Year would wind up serving a 9-year jail sentence for attempting to kill her husband. Even harder to believe is that the beguiling beauty to the left somehow morphed into the 66-year-old crone to the right.
     It's true! Victoria Rathgeb a.k.a. Victoria Vetri a.k.a. Angela Dorian a.k.a. Miss September 1967 a.k.a. Playboy Playmate of the Year 1968 is guilty on both above counts. She was sentenced just a couple of days ago for Attempted Manslaughter. Crazeee! She should serve some extra time for Poor Physical Self-Preservation.

Here's the headline from Radar Online:
RADAR ONLINE: Ex-Playboy Playmate Guilty of Attempted Manslaughter of Husband, Jailed for 9 Years

REFLECTIONS

Here are three photos from a series called "Reflections" by photographer Tom Hussey. They feature mature women with their younger selves reflected in the mirror. I think that it's so well done.

END OF SUMMER BIKINI REVIEW - Day Three

Pictures speak a thousand words and here, in this instance, this picture speaks a thousands bits of cellulite. The once slender and sexy supermodel Stephanie Seymour is now a 43-year-old MILF and back in March she was photographed at her favorite beach haunt, St. Barts flaunting her ivory white skin, looking older thanks to the slight but ever-so-present globs of fat scattered all over her body.
     I remember back in college, my best bud lusted over Stephanie, if he could have seen what the future held for her, he may have not been so ga-ga over her.
     Back then, I was more of a Christy Turlington kind of guy but you know what? I'll take a topless, tubby Stephanie Seymour any day, like in the photo below:

   

70 Years Separates Them Series

Here's an interesting photo project analyzing the differences in visual storytelling between two models, 70 years apart in age, in the exact same scenes. It's pretty cool. You could also pretend that it's the same woman but in different stages of her life. There are 15 photos in total an you can find them here:
70 YEARS SEPARATES THEM

Also, the older model happens to be the photographer's mother. Be sure to check out another photo series in which she is featured as an elderly super heroine:
SUPER MAMIKA

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.

END OF SUMMER BIKINI REVIEW - Day Two

     Janice Dickinson... what can I say? Sometimes she turns me on like no one else and at other times she looks like Steven Tyler got a sex change.
     This summer (July 4, 2011) she hit Malibu Beach with her svelte figure and showed off every inch of tight but wrinkly skin and every, well-defined muscle on her 56-year-old body in a red/orange two-piece.
     I've said it before, she looks phenomenal for her age but she can be obnoxious as hell. She's hot and yet she's not.

     If you've never heard of Janice before, she was once a hot, highly sought-after model. In fact, she's boasted that she's "the world's first ever supermodel." If you'd like to see what she looked like in her heyday, check out this old post from the Fading Beauties blog:

Fading Beauties: Aged Like a Great Cheddar...

END OF SUMMER BIKINI REVIEW - Day One

     So, another summer has gone by and a bevy of aging women got to hit the beach in their bikinis. Among them were celebrities once considered to exude sex appeal, now it's questionable. Fortunately for us, someone had a camera handy and now I get to share these sightings with you.

     Observe one Katie Holmes on Miami Beach on June 18, 2011: she's as thin as ever and only 32 years old but click on the photo to enlarge and you will notice how one of life's stages has wreaked havoc on her stomach. It seems pregnancy was not too kind and even with 5 years to recover, the skin of her stomach is all stretched out and lined with wrinkles. It's as if someone zapped her tummy with an age-ray gun. It'll be awhile before the rest of her catches up with that (maybe 20 years).

PRETTY GIRL 2 PRETTY GRANNY

Thank the powers that be for the existence of Photoshop and the talented people out there whose vision and art skills allow us all to peer into the future! Here's a prime example of what I'm talking about. Maxbee, a talented member of the Worth1000 community, created this bute of a self-portrait, envisioning herself 50 years down the line. Brilliant work!!! Pretty girl makes for a pretty old lady.

GGO BIRTHDAY - CARLA GUGINO

Any man or lesbian who is a fan of HBO's Entourage or who has seen Sin City,  has no doubt been left quivering in a pool of their own sexual juices after watching the sultry beauty named Carla Gugino steal the scene.
     She is captivatingly gorgeous and only gets more beautiful with age. Today she joined the big FOUR-O club. It won't be long before she'll be bearing resemblance to the aged version of her character from 2009's Watchmen (pictured here top left).
     Happy birthday Carla!

SUPER-OLD-HEROINE FILE#00001: SHANNA

Here's a feature that I'll do from time to time where I'll post age progression artwork of comic book heroines.
     Here, wyattx of DeviantArt, inspired by the art of super-talented Frank Cho, has created his own rendering of sexy Shanna only, he's aged her at least 50 years. A phenomenon he likes to refer to as "ungrowth." Nice work wyattx.
     You can see more of his work in his DeviantArt profile: http://wyattx.deviantart.com. Where you'll also find the following Wonder Woman "ungrowth:"

ART GONE OLD - THE WORKS OF TIP TOLAND

"Milk for the Butter Thief"
2008

    Believe it or not, what you see above is a sculpture! It's true! If you appreciate the aging of the female form, as I do, then you'll appreciate the art of Tip Toland. She's primarily a sculptor and her subjects tend to lean towards the human body and how it ages. Her work has progressed steadily over the years becoming a lot more realistic with every new piece.

     Here, I've compiled the works that caught MY eye and I'm sure will get your attention too. You can tell there's passion there and that she has a love affair with the human condition and its effects on the female body over time. You can see more of her work here.

"The Whistlers"

GGO BIRTHDAY - RACHEL BILSON

Thanks to Chester for the fabulous image

Okay, I admit she's far from showing any obvious signs of age but Rachel, today, is officially halfway to 60. And I believe that she'll make a sexy 60. Don't you think?

GGO NEWS: KATE WINSLET REJECTS PLASTIC SURGERY

I've always loved Kate Winslet. She's my kind of woman and her recent statements have re-enforced that for me. She's a huge advocate for women aging without the help of plastic surgery.

She, Rachel Weisz (another of my favorites) and Emma Thompson have banded together to form the British Anti-Plastic Surgery League to fight for pride, wrinkles and the right to age gracefully.

She was quoted as saying that such practices "go against my morals."

You can read more about it at The Guardian.

GGO BIRTHDAY - CATHY ST. GEORGE

It's time that I got back to work on this blog, wouldn't you say? I'm back! Sorry for the long hiatus folks. Life throws us curveballs sometimes and it's hard to make contact after that. I'm still rather busy but I'll do my best to post often enough. Now, let's get down to business.

I'm a big fan of Playboy and I have my own list of favorite Playmates. Among them is the smart and beautiful Cathy St. George, Miss August 1982. She's an actress, a model and a very talented make-up artist. You have to admit she's aged quite nicely since her first Playboy appearance. Since then, she's posed naked several times online. The last time, I believe, was in 2003 at the ripe age of 49. I'm not aware of anything new since then. Today, Cathy turns 57, that's 3 years shy of 60 for those of you who are mathematically challenged. She looks awesome, don't you think? Menopause is having an effect - notice how her neck is wrinkling up and she's developing a turkey wattle? She wears it very well though. Hope she never gets any work done on that precious face of hers. I sure would love to see her shed her clothes again. Happy birthday Cathy!
