Femmes over 50 see off Frances pretty young things
FORGET about yesterdays sirens. The anorexic catwalk models and sultry young actresses once feted as icons of beauty are being replaced as Frances feminine idols by women in their fifties and sixties.
The French have long been associated with a fascination for the superior vintage but are taking that obsession to new extremes with a series of magazine spreads and advertising campaigns featuring women over 50 in seductive poses and without many or in some cases any clothes on.
Ségolãne Royal, the glamor-ous 53-year-old Socialist presidential candidate, may have set the tone last summer when she was photographed on a beach in her bikini, but she has been outdone by Arielle Dombasle, the actress, chanteuse and general sex kitten.
Her marriage to Bernard-Henri Lévy, Frances most famous living philosopher, gives her a fig leaf of respectability, but last weeks Paris Match featured her wearing nothing but silvery knickers under the headline Arielle Dombasle naked.
She was hailed on a recent tour of America to promote her new record as a Gallic fusion of Edith Piaf and Brigitte Bardot, but at home she was being celebrated less for her perfect pitch than her plastique parfaite. Not bad for a woman of 53.

Cougarvill'e.
She looks great, but obviously has had a facelift or two. She's got that "pulled" look. That said, she's in great shape, aka skinny.
He's even starting to resemble Teddy Kennedy.
Well, good greif! She's 72 years old! 'Pulled' look or not, I'd say that plastic surgeon is a credit to his profession!
if ever there was a Bill Clinton topic...

My God! She has made some plastic surgeon awfully rich with all that facial work. But I don't think there's anything wrong with that at all. Her hair is gorgeous--that thickness and length are very unusual for a woman in her fifties.
