Why does a photo of an older woman daring to feel sexy so unsettling to all these same-aged dudes? When I did photos like these as a teen, I sometimes got shamed by women, but never the men. This is a most interesting social experience. The only thing that’s changed is my age.

As a young model exposing my body, it was because of someone else’s approval and celebration of it. I didn’t know enough to have an understanding of consequences. Hence, objectification. Now, when I expose my body, it it with my full knowledge and consent. Hence, celebration.

When a young model posts her photos - she’s doing her job. When an older model does - she’s “desperate, thirsty and needs validation”. Care to clue me in? (Since this is Twitter - I know you will😁)

Athletes vs models. Both start young - end young Make a lot of money Used physically for entertainment and to sell products. When aged out of their careers, if they cling on - one gets applauded as heroic, and the other shamed as pathetic. One is mostly male - one mostly female

When you’re deemed “beautiful” , your shell is celebrated. That sort of beauty is like a sequined dress. It instantly draws attention. Real beauty is a dress made of quality fabric and careful stitching, and it will last forever. #innerbeauty

Is an older woman displaying her body seen as false advertising ? We no longer can breed - we should no longer be seductive? If so, we women accept that female bodies are in existence to only please men and carry their seed. Our pleasure and desires are irrelevant.

“You’re still beautiful”. Meant as a compliment, but achieves the opposite. With the word “still” attached, the compliment carries incredulity- “you shouldn’t be but ‘still’ are.” I believe age is coming into ones true beauty and character, and should be celebrated, not erased.

I thank you for the compliments- but! I’m afraid my post about the plastic surgeon’s suggestions completely missed my point. It had nothing to do with what I think I look like, and everything to do with the perversity of people who suggest that an older woman’s face is “wrong”

Have you ever heard the term “Jolie laide ?” French for “pretty and ugly.” A woman who is unconventionally attractive. She wear her “flaws” with confidence, that’s what makes her attractive. I was envious of this confidence until recently. I acquired it through age.
