Gettin' It Post-50: Part II



Just saw The Queen and now have a girl-crush on Helen Mirren. She definitely belongs in the group of women over 50 who do it better than anyone. This movie and Helen provide a complex view (though my mum thinks it's romanticized) of Her Highness, especially during Diana's death. Helen acts her butt off and is subjected to the world's ugliest clothing. Did want to snatch those pearls off her neck, wear them and stomp on those large glasses. Somehow, Helen made it all look good.

oooh - Helen is truly delicious. (As are you!) Haven't seen it yet; saw "Marie Antionette" instead. Surprisingly pleased.

Have you started stalking Ms. Mirren yet?

Am stalking all the over 50 crowd since I'm headed there soon (okay, in ten years, but feels like tomorrow).
