GGO Birthday - CHARISMA CARPENTER

Charisma through the years.
Gorgeous actress Charisma Carpenter, best known for her role as Cordelia Chase on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, is turning 40 today! Wow!
     The signs of her age are evident though which isn't surprising since she's always been a huge fan of tanning. IMHO, she already looks 5 years older than she is. At this rate, she'll be looking like a granny in no time.
     I just hope that she'll be posing for Playboy again in another ten years - it'll be interesting to see how she holds up.

The signs of Charisma's aging process.

More Mom & Daughter Fun

In trying to find more mother and daughter images, I chanced upon this set here by a photographer (Ulric Collette) on Flickr. He calls this concept, "genetic portraits" where  her blends in half the face of the mother and half of the daughter. It's an incredible result that resembles age progression.
In the first pic, the mother (age 56) is compared to the younger daughter (age 23). While in the second image, the older daughter (age 29) is compared to the mother.

Daughter & Mom

I love comparing faces in photos of mothers and daughters. Especially when they are dressed similarly as in this picture from Flickr.

In many cases, you can see how the daughter will eventually age to look like the mother. Effectively, you're looking at an age progression image without the aid of Photoshop or some hi-tech software package.

I'm constantly comparing my woman's features to those of her mother and even grandmother. I'm awaiting with great anticipation the day that my woman will be old too. In the meantime, I'll close my eyes and use my imagination.
