I was never much good at them even when I was younger because I've got a thick waist, even when the rest of me is quite slim, and so dresses are the worst thing I can wear.

We were still listening to the Goon Show and Billie Cotton Band Show on the radio in the 50's. If I remember correctly top tunes we "I see the moon and the moon sees me" and Eddy Calvert's "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White".

Try 1964 as your heyday! Why don't fashion houses make great clothes (not covered in sequins)for 50+? All they'd have to do is bring the necklines up a bit to cover the wrinkly skin, but, above all, make sleeves a touch longer to hide the batwings.<br />Anyway, though I agree with you about chasing after younger men, I've a thought for you - or rather a question. Do old ladies fantasize? Yes. Do old ladies fantasize about old men? No. Draw your own conclusions.

I like knowing that all that monthly stuff is behind me anyway (sorry if that's TMI, gents...!) I think knowing being interested in current pop culture is something you either are or aren't, no need to force it, but I tend to take note of things my nieces say, and my friends in their 20s - it's useful for novels, anyway - my oldest characters are in their early 40s but I write mostly about people in their 30s. And please, please, never think you have to say 'lol'.... <br /><br />Ditto re thanks for RTs, and give my love to Cromer and Norwich!

The only difference being that, since I'm the oldest mother of a 7 year-old in East Anglia (lol) I necessarily spend much of my time doing/thinking about/speaking about things that 20 and 30 year-olds do! Keeps me young. Or makes me old with worry - not sure which.<br /><br />By the way, thanks for all your RTs on Twitter - much appreciated!Margaret Johnsonhttp://www.margarekjohnson.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-29522894859985461062013-03-06T01:15:31.141-08:002013-03-06T01:15:31.141-08:00Hah!

In mine I tend to wear that wide-eyed, startled-rabbit look. I think it had something to do with having to wait those few uncertain seconds for the flashlight to go off between takes (didn't we get three photos on a strip?). I always wanted to blink at the wrong moment.
