I'm 46 years old. Last week, my best girlfriend got married and I was the Matron of Honor at her wedding. Tonight, she sent my her pictures, online. I am shocked at the way my skin looks. The pictures that were taken further away were great...up close...another story. Take care of your skin, girlfriends..it'll come back to haunt you!

I accept the aging of my looks as having gone from "cute" to handsome (I'm 32). One day I'll look "distinguished".

I'm glad I never spent much time out in the sun beyond short vacations.

I swear digital cameras accentuate the blotches. I look at myself in a digital pix or videotape, and I run, screaming*, to the nearest mirror. Where I'm reassured that yes, I do look OK. So I wouldn't worry about that too much. :-)

*OK, so that was a bit of dramatic overstatement.
