I’ve recently read two stories about Dame Helen Mirren that have made me feel a whole lot better about being a “Mature Woman”. The first story was all about her daring to wear a bikini at age 62, and how she looked in said bikini. I think the bikini was very stylish, and she looked positively marvelous in it for a woman of any age. She also gets major brownie points from BB for being daring enough to wear that stylish little bikini.

Among other things, the second story talked about how men felt about a 62 year old woman wearing, and looking great in a bikini. That second story also contained a quote from Joan Collins that totally cracked me up. When the still brilliantly witty, 75 year old Joan Collins as was asked if the age difference between her and her younger husband bothered her, she replied, “If he dies, he dies.” Kudos to Joan for that reply!

It’s comforting to know it is still possible to look sexy at 60, and beyond. It’s good to know men are expanding their horizons concerning women’s ages and sexiness. Sexiness to me, whether it be in men or women, has always been as much about attitude and personality, as physical appearance. I also think we get too hung up on the, “Will someone years younger than me, or years younger than the person in the picture, still find me, him, or her, sexy?” Yes, it’s great that some younger men can still find women 50 and beyond sexy. But when you get right down to it, so what? The real question is, Do you think you’re sexy?

I don’t care how beautiful or handsome a person is, if that person doesn’t think he or she is sexy, then it is going to make it damn hard for others to find him or her sexy once they get past his or her stunning looks. I personally tend to think of myself as more of a funny girl, than a sexy girl. But, I also have enough sense in my little blonde head to know that lots of people find humor very sexy. So by being a funny golden girl, I am also still a sexy girl in the eyes of some. Of course, still having a great pair of legs at age 50 doesn’t hurt either. At least I can always re-cross my legs if the man I’m trying to impress doesn’t like my sense of humor.
