This article reminds me of a recent conversation with my son, who is forever complaining about me being on YLF.

Getting ready to look at an apartment, I was putting on a sparkly necklace and pulling my hair back. I explained that I didn't want to look like a "dumpy old lady", so was raising the gaze from my pot belly, and told him about the first time the power of fashion was really clear to me--a job interview while he was in utero. Obviously, they couldn't legally refuse to hire me for being pregnant, but just as obviously, that happens all the time and can't be proved. So a friend with theater experience and a deep closet dressed me in navy pants, a butter yellow peplum top, and sparkly earrings, and told me to pull my hair up. When I arrived to start the job a couple months later, my boss about fell over when I told him who I was. Kiddo was stunned "that's so...scientific".

So Grace Jones obviously is looking great. Looking closer though, and using what I've learned, I see some clever dressing going on as well. No matter how toned our legs are, after a certain age, our knees just don't look the same, so otk boots. She's thin, but not curvy. The cut of the bodysuit elongates her legs and might accentuate the butt she does have. The belt accentuates the waist, which makes her chest look bigger.

Like I said on yesterday's post, being able to pick things like this apart always make me feel like I'm learning a secret code. And yes, I'd be glad to have her starting point, now or at her age.
