LOL! Actually, I turned 40 last year and I went out and bought a great pair of red shoes...with really pointy toes. I LOVE them.

And I've been collaring/highlighting my hair since I was about 23. Quite frankly, I couldn't tell you what color my real hair was if my life depended on it...not even my hairdresser knows!

LOL!

That's the way to keep the "mirror mom" at bay...;)

My [actual] mom carps at me continually for not properly "looking my age".
She wants me to get an old-lady buzz-cut and start wearing "mature" pants and blouses like hers.

[oh...and I'm supppoded to "gain about 20 pounds", too]

No way....LOL!
