If you're lucky enough to have all your original hair and teeth at 60, and don't let yourself go to shit, this is easily doable. Here's me (53) at a costume party last weekend.
Lemmy: "No one can do this without money!!!"
Uh, no. A little luck and a lot of self-care is more like it.
You look how I expect 53 to look, well maintained not young. People are aging more slowly for sure. I look at pictures of my mom at my age and we don't look the same age.
But if you don't have money (for gym or weights, Retin-A, good sunscreen, a job that doesn't stress the fuck out of you) it really is more difficult. Stress is so aging, rich or not, but less stress is easier with money.
I agree, 45-55 looks similar but somehow 55-65 usually doesn't. It's a change like adolescence.
I do think Martha Stewart has the right approach to cosmetic work, what she does is what I'd do if my purse was bottomless, and I had to be in the public eye.
