No worries about wrinkles here, they grow on you...

The Tin Man doesn't have to worry about wrinkles and flab, just rusting. Oh, my!
I look the same as I did 15 years ago if you just don't get too close to me...lolthe loss of perfect vision is kind to oldies - you spend less time in front of the mirror and don't notice the wrinkles anyway. Whats more, who cares? because everyone else accepts you as you are. Its only self that has a memory of what we used to be.
The story goes... At a concert, the (late) Jazz musician George Melly was talking to Mick Jagger. When he commented on Mick's wrinkles, Mick said, "They're laughter lines".
George Melly replied , "Mick, nothing's that funny".
So agree, think those are my "wisdom lines"...lol. Hopefully vanity has morphed into understanding.Nope. I've earned every one of them along with my gray hair.
This is true. Black skin doesn’t age nearly as quickly as white.Wrinkles don't bother me because at 72 I don't have any. We have a saying Mike..."Black don't crack". LOL Met an 80 year old man the other day at the senior center...beautiful, chocolate brown skin and not a wrinkle on his face. Melanin is our friend.![]()
So maybe the Victorians had the right idea, they never satThis is true. Black skin doesn’t age nearly as quickly as white.
I figured I’ve earned my grey hair and my laugh lines show that I laugh lots which I do so I’m ok with them.
Nahhhh. I think they also ate arsenic to get them that pale ‘coffin dead’ look too. No thanks.So maybe the Victorians had the right idea, they never sat
out in the sun, or sun bathed, they kept coverred up at all
timesand the ladies of the period were said to be "Alabaster
White", I think that that means "China or Porcelain White"
So if we stay out off the sun we don't need these creams.
Mike.
I'm so glad I have never enjoyed sunbathing, as if you take my chest in isolation, the whole area is still firm and young-looking. Pity I can't say the same for the rest of me.I love older lady boob wrinkles. Once found a still warm portion of meat ball sandwich in one and a 1963 New York subway guide under the other.![]()
