I completely agree with the disappointment in using 13 year old girls in fashion campaigns. Sorry guys, if your clothing is made for pre-pubescent bodies I'll be spending my hard-earned cash elsewhere.

Plenty of marketers KNOW that the money is in the older demographic...see ads for investments and Viagra, etc.<br /><br />I know when I first began blogging that "agism" bothered me more than it does now and frankly, while I read MANY blogs by younger women, I certainly don't envy any of them.

Our energy contributes to the acceptance of the 'Crone' as a positive image to be embraced in our culture. I am 68 years old and am excited about closing in on 70.

People stay "younger," longer, and so many women are redefining what it means to be over 40. The world can't help but notice. (And by the way: love the colors in that skirt!

Excellent post and very well written.<br />I am very close to 60 and that is a scary and exciting prospect. I am not ashamed of my age at all and do not mind if someone knows my age. It's been a journey getting here and I am looking forward to what the future brings. <br />When I saw the first picture in your post I thought oh that skirt would look so pretty swirling!

I had a younger mom come meet with me last week to convince me that the high school newspaper needed to cover an event she was in charge of...she kept throwing her credentials at me...in person and in email. It really annoyed me, but looking back, I think it is her insecurities. But the whole time I felt like she was attempting to one up me....why are women so competitive??? I don't know whether to feel flattered by her antics or frustrated?
