Message:   In praise of older women

From: Joe     Sent: 1 Feb. 2004     Message 1 of 2

This is a bit off-topic, but I can't help myself: I'd like to recommend a movie that is funny and touching, and features the (to me obvious) idea that older women are just as beautiful and sexy as younger women.

The movie is called "Calendar Girls" and stars Helen Mirren (58), Julie Walters (53) and several other actresses in their 50's. They get the idea to pose nude for a pin-up calendar in order to earn money for charity. (The story is less silly than I make it sound.) The movie touches on the prejudices in modern society that only young women are attractive and delivers a strong statement that older women are wonderful.

Here's a link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0337909/

By the way, you don't actually get to see the women posing nude, so don't see the movie if you're looking for that kind of turn-on. Instead, look at the pictures of Cindy and other mature women that you can find on this web site and many other places on the Internet.
