That's exactly where I went. Except now I need to go listen to some Talking Heads to cleanse my aural palate from I Love the Way You Lie, which has been in my head for 3 days since I stupidly watched a Rhianna video show on Fuse this weekend. After one on Drake and before Nicki Minaj. Time to get a life.

OK this was awesome fun. I knew it would be kind of platonic w/him. He seems like he would be awkward with the sex.

...and one who is doing it right on many levels is the beautiful Bonnie Raitt. I have the silver thing in front like she does (only my hair is dark brown) and I get no end of compliments on it. She is my role model in sexy, confident, 50+ rock n rolling. www.bonnieraitt.com

Yay, let it keep coming in, it's beautiful! For support on "the transition" come check out www.cafe-gray.com

This is stupid, of course they can! It's all in how you wear it, confidence, and taking good care of it. A good cut and good color (real or not) and the right attitude is all you need. I attended a gathering in NYC right before the storm of "Silver Sisters" — women who have or are letting their hair go silver. Many…

OK if your Dad is like George Clooney... well let's just say I'd like to meet your dad (apologies to your mom or his spouse). I'd be all over that.

I know, she is awesome, my idea of aging sexily and gracefully. I bow to her and seek to emulate her hotness as I am 50-something (actually I always felt that way).

Absolutely! I was NOT told by my parents that I was beautiful as a child (I was seeking praise for the physical), and it was scarring. I spent the better part of my life working to both prove my parents wrong and get praise and attention for being beautiful. Actually now, my dad will tell me how beautiful I am, and it…

I'm not sure I understand your message entirely... but definitely have the spirit of it. Glad you're pointing out that blue nail polish is NOT a just a new now thing. When I was a young teen in the early '70s it was huge then, I remember buying a bottle of it for a queen bee girl whose attention I was trying to gain…

good tip! I'm all about the drugstore brands these days, esp. for nail polish. Not only for the cost factor. I'm a bit of a tomboy and don't do my nails a lot, so never like to spend much time/$ on them. And it's a fun color to boot.

Everybody is different of course — one good guideline is to go after each meal, or at least 2X/day. Want to keep things flowing through. More water, more fiber can help. I find soaked chia seeds to be great.

I feel kind of bad for her, and was always kind of impressed that she didn't totally spill the dirt on the whole affair. Yes, at the time I thought, "Who raised this girl that she would do this?" because I think she got in over her head (sorry about that) when she crazily decided she was going to go after him; but…

Thank you, your coverage was completely hilarious while being informative. I've had similar misadventures on business trips and I feel your pain.

Yes, word, this. I'm not too far behind you, at 51. These past few years, I feel as though I've been reborn and I am so excited about the changes and possibilities coming up for me. It's extraordinary to have the perspective of looking back (especially when I interact w/people in their 20s-30s) and the power and…

So sorry you lost both parents, that way. Agreed, in women heart attacks are a silent swift killer. My mom died of one as well...hadn't been feeling great for some weeks before, didn't complain (was in poor health to begin with, another story). Had a massive heart attack and in 2 hours it was game over. Big shock. …

I agree w/CJL, he's aged really well, and naturally. He wears his years and sex appeal well, like Susan Sarandon and Helen Mirren. To me he also still manages to look like a "regular guy", albeit an exceptionally gorgeous and well-cared-for one. And, from what I see around me, there are not a lot of men his/my age…

Thank you! (the Sunday Times will have to wait this weekend...)

I am equal opportunity! Exploring more BDSM. I am GGG and very open minded, although I can't entirely wrap my head around fantasy animal/mummy/zombie porn and that ilk. Thanks for asking...

OK, that was one of the funniest things I've ever read. You made my afternoon.

I've enjoyed 50 Shades for its own sake, actually found it kind of hot and fun, but the writing really, really upset me. I'm reading the descriptions of these other titles and while my appetite is whetted for more, like you I can't handle more bad writing. Most of these sound too cheesy for words.
