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"
2005

"Marilyn"
2005

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.
