Who Dis?

DAMN! She used to be kinda cute. She did the whole "big eyes" thing in her day. A woman has to really, really good looking when young and then keep working at it to stay attractive after 60 or so.

That's a shame. @jolly has a thing for her, you know.

Yep, I find her very attractive.

Guys, that's an almost 66 year-old woman with no makeup, wearing baggy clothes and making a grocery run. And I don't think she's had any work done.

BTW, a side story from somebody who dated her in her prime...

She made him feel tall, and he can't even remember it.

I agree. She is a pretty lady.

Bad thing about being a celebrity. People dont allow you to age "gracefully". So a lot of them try to do all kinds of plastic surgery, etc. but as wise people on this forum have said - "time is undefeated"

"OMG!! Look how XXX looks now!!" Well, she (or he, though I think guys have an easier time with aging) looks like a person her age looks.

I think I remember reading about a famous old time US actress who basically became a hermit when she was 30 something because she didn't want people to see her age.

It doesn’t take that much effort, just good genes. My bride for example looks maybe 50 at 67. 60 year old women are a hell of a lot hotter than in previous generations.

Well, you have to admit, redheads and blondes do tend to age well.

Don’t think I ever listened to the Bangles.

Good band. Produced some very good songs, my favorite being a cover of Simon and Garfunkel's Hazy Shade of Winter.

Always modeled on Beatles type harmony, they could actually deliver a very good live performance, without all the autotune and lip-synching so prevalent today. Their early stuff is much less pop than what the label molded them into.

Speaking of live stuff... I'd love to see a return to really good bands that can lay it down without all the digital manipulation. The little imperfections are what often really makes the music.

It's why live albums were seldom the equal of the studio tracks. There are exceptions. Notable ones are Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore, Zeppelin's live version of Rock N Roll, Frampton Comes Alive,

[Jolly]

The Eagles and Chicago could lay it down live, for certain.
