Full Disclosure

I am actually 49 but turning 50 next month. I have to admit it has been freaking me out. I was cool. I was a punk rocker in the 80's. I have always looked a good 10 years younger than my age. Until now. Suddenly I tell people my age and they believe me!!! It's horrible!

Early 1980's



Obviously I loved that outfit. ha ha.

Below is me at almost 40.


I am at the tail end of the Baby Boomers so I know I'm not the only one going through this. I am on a personal mission to make 50 my bitch. Ha ha. I would apologize for my language but, no. That is part of the privilege of getting older. I can stop worrying so much about what everyone thinks. I have earned that. (whew. That felt good, actually)

Here I am now. This is a professional headshot so keep that in mind. It's not retouched though. I had to stick my neck way out so I didn't have a double chin. It hurt kind of.


By the way, that is my real haircolor. I stopped dying it and let the premature gray (white) grow out. Letting the gray hang out is a noticeable trend that I'll talk about later. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts and concerns regarding this time of life regardless of your age or sex. I personally refuse to become a little old lady. I'm on a mission to stay hot and I'm not talking about menopause.
