Ignore foot pain. Ignore back pain." I'm willing to try the braless thing, though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/etiquette-tips-for-women-who-insist-on-aging#post-1692822 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 11:22:36 +0000 Helen11 1692822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh yeah.

I remember tanning &amp; how dark I got. I was brown like shoe leather. I only did that for one summer, though. Bring tan was prized at my high school. I quit tanning that darkly, and quit completely after finding out about skin cancer. Also, about that time, a friend of my mom's died of skin cancer. It even got in her eyes. It was sad and awful - something I'll never forget, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/etiquette-tips-for-women-who-insist-on-aging#post-1692633 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 21:32:59 +0000 deb 1692633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/etiquette-tips-for-women-who-insist-on-aging#post-1692630 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 21:11:15 +0000 Style Fan 1692630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very funny.&nbsp; I am out to buy all the Spanx in town. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/etiquette-tips-for-women-who-insist-on-aging#post-1692629 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 21:10:26 +0000 Jenn 1692629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sally</b>, you can win if you're male. &nbsp;Or Dame Judi Dench. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/etiquette-tips-for-women-who-insist-on-aging#post-1692621 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 20:45:48 +0000 Sal 1692621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you win? &nbsp;<br />It is a cleverly written article:)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/etiquette-tips-for-women-who-insist-on-aging#post-1692618 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 20:33:44 +0000 shedev 1692618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/etiquette-tips-for-women-who-insist-on-aging#post-1692586 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 19:06:47 +0000 Jenn 1692586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too,&nbsp;<b>Lisa</b>.

Self &nbsp;tanning, tanning booths, etc. were also not invented yet,&nbsp; AND we did not know that all this sun tanning was going to cause permanent skin damage.&nbsp; </p> <p>A lot of these anti aging things on the market today may slow down some things, but for the most part they are only ways to grab your money, or some of us are way past the stage for any of it to make a worthwhile advantage.&nbsp; The one that really gets me is this creepy skin stuff-it is a big rip off.&nbsp;Just as well use super glue! &nbsp;Someone needs to tell young people us oldies do not look this way because we want to--we have no choice.</p> <p>Face lifts, and the like do work, but aside from being costly, they also do not last forever.&nbsp; Most celeberities get touch ups and re dos every few years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/etiquette-tips-for-women-who-insist-on-aging#post-1692542 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 17:02:34 +0000 Elizabeth P 1692542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/etiquette-tips-for-women-who-insist-on-aging#post-1692528 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 16:43:26 +0000 Jenn 1692528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This made me laugh today.
