A sentence like that is often spoken in reference to famous women over 50. If you are a woman (or man), famous or not, does it annoy you when someone says that? What if a fifty-something person looks good without that qualifier? Can’t someone just look good regardless of age?
I recently met a fairly famous fifty-four-year-old who looks good. Period! Without qualification or reservation. Remember the Mandrell sisters of music and TV fame, especially in the 1980s? This is Louise Mandrell, the middle sister.
She visited one of my radio shows recently to talk up a Christmas season show she is putting on in Nashville this year.
And she looks good. Great, in fact! Age has nothing to do with it.
By the way, she is also talented, friendly and fun.

Yes, she looks great, regardless of her age. But then, so do most fifty year-olds. The problem is the cultural perception that once you reach fifty, you're "over the hill". We need to change that idea! I publish Goldivas, an internet magazine for women over 50 - http://www.goldivas.com/ - check it out, maybe we can exchange links.
Amen!! Good looking is good looking, no matter what the age!

Rita - I agree we need to change that perception! FYI, I'll be happy to exchange links.
Velvet - Yes!
Shelby - Thanks for the visit. I'll post the Mandrells link too. Louise is great!
