40
by electrochick @ Sunday, 18. May, 2008 - 20:41:56

Is it me?

It's just dawned on me, that at 40, I'm supposed to:

Have wrinkles – (deep-set or otherwise),
Have tired eyes that need a roll-on to correct them,
Dye my hair with dyes that hide 'even the grey',
Eat yoghurts that help my digestive system,
Require products that make even my skin supple,
and others that 'plump it up'.

All advertised mostly by 20 year-old models.

How stupid do they think we are?

Until today, I hadn't even looked to see if I had wrinkles around my eyes (it turns out I do).

Before I took any notice of those adverts I still thought of myself as young. It only just dawned on me that these adverts were aimed at me.

F**k them. I think I'll continue to ignore them :))

A curse on the advertisers :##

Phaaaaah!

Ditto from me!
I love the ones where they say stuff about their extensive research, "45% of 23 women surveyed would recommend our product to a friend" and all that
Such rubbish :crazy:

Lol I noticed that too.

It's not even as though the majority said it was any good!

Madness.

Adverts are all pure crap and are best ignored at all times ;)

I like you, have decided to ignore them! :)

There are too many myths about what happens when you grow older or when you turn 40 etc.. I don't feel like I'm in my 40's and I don't believe I look my age either. Yes, I do dye my hair to cover the greys. But I started to do that when I was in my 30's!! I'm actually looking forward to one day revealing my white hair - at the mo it's still too "salt & pepper".

You ignore them and go for it!

I have seen your true "boat race" and you look good. True you are five years younger than me, but being 40 is not so bad.

Wrinkles give character apparently. I like people with "smiley eyes" and so do many others.

Ignore those stupid adds, everyone should.

LOL!
Bloody mirror has confirmed the presence of lines under my eyes!

What do you reckon you would call a fear of epilators (sp) the very sight of one of them buggers makes me feel ill!

What do you reckon the worst pain you have ever felt was a result of? I mean actual sensory pain as oppose to emotional.

Hmmm let's see now............I think it's those epilators. Pulling the hairs out of the skin one at a time - Aaaaagh. Never, ever again. Oh and waxing obviously.

Anyway, how do you know what an epilator feels like?
