Crows feet are ridiculously sexy.

But not on women.

Women with wrinkles are ugly and should be chopped up and fed to cattle.

Crypt Keeper + Pimp Hat = unfierce

Mr. Poe, just because you prefer mummy republican men:

that's no excuse for being mean about women with wrinkles. So, please, don't reduce me to cattle food because I retain my eye crinkles.

I always imagine there being a certain "brittleness" in these night of living dead sex fiends in the city 50 is the new 20 women. Sort of like, during one night of intense physical passion and you'd hear a big "KRRRACKK" as the whole thing shatters on them due to lack of calcium and other nutrients.

Yes New York is filled with women who don't want to appear their real age. As a New Yorker I can tell you that isn't a bonus.

PopTart, I'd ask you to forgive me, but I am an asshole. And you should know that I would never chop you up and feed you to cattle.

I believe awfulplasticsurgery.com thinks Madonna has had cheek implants. Looking at that pic, I gotta agree.

@3 - Excuse me, I am neither a republican or a mummy, but I do apparently have crows feet. I haven't seen them myself, as they are only visible when my eyes are closed, but yes, they are sexy.

Blah blah blah women looks beauty blah blah.

Why do women obsess over beauty? Because our culture, and our media, obsess over their beauty, at the expense of giving a fair share of exposure to their accomplishments. I am way more interested in what women say, think, and do, than in how they meet society's ridiculous standards for looking good. Articles like this are trivial, and deserve much less attention than they get.

@8 Sorry! I was trying to distract Mr. Poe from cutting me up and feeding me to cattle. You are most definitely not a mummy. I think you are quite handsome and Mr. Poe is very lucky he gets to gaze at your sexy crow's feet.

Has anyone else noticed that Madonna has turned into Madeline Kahn?

Irena, you are so right when we are talking about Meryl Streep or Madeleine Albright. But this is Madonna, who has built her entire career on her sexual desirability, which I have to say as a red blooded male I find entirely gone at this point. Live by the sword, die by the sword. So to speak.

Madonna appears to have had that procedure which lifts the malar pad (which is the bit of fat that covers cheekbones in dewy youth but in age slips and becomes jowls). In her case they took too much and left her looking as though she has no back teeth, or is perpetually sucking on an invisible straw.

That photo of Madonna = gross. There is no amount of money in the world you could pay me to fuck that disgusting corpse. Guy Ritchie, I pity you. Gals with wrinkles, be happy you don't look like that.

"Sucking the invisible straw" heh, heh!!! Ain't invisible and it ain't no straw.

1) I love Madeline Kahn.

2) A friend once warned me: "After 40, women either turn into a cow or a goat."

I said, "I want to be a goat."

She said, "I want to be a cow."

Instead of talking about this "new class of women" as if they were mindless objects, why not talk to one and ask her what she has to say for herself? I imagine they make themselves look this or that way because they fucking can and they fucking want to and if they had needed you all to tell them what the ought to do, they'd have asked your opinions first. Shocker: they didn't ask you. Not everybody is a victim who needs you to enlighten them.

As an eyewitness, I can attest that PopTart is kind of hot.

@16,

I believe they're getting divorced.

Didn't women used to "ripen"? There's something about this look that's like the tomatoes at the grocery store in January, they look good, but something's not quite right.

I've recently noticed a whole slew of crinkly eye wrinkles on my face, and could not be happier about it.

They come from laughing, smiling, and living. You are a fucking jerk if you don't like to do those things.

The scars of life should be celebrated and respected, no matter what their form.

@ 24, amen, sister. Celebrities aside, there seems to be an emerging standard that for a woman over 40 to be competitive in the workplace or whatever, she must go under the knife to look good. These multi-thousands of dollar procedures aren't covered by insurance. Add this to the other expenses of 'looking good', and the fact we earn - whatsit - 70 cents on the dollar compared to men, and it's quite apparent that women in our so-called advanced society pay a premium that men do not.
Susan Sontag had a good bit about the lines on a woman's face being a result of her character and the life she lived, something to that effect.

Wait, who else thought Mr Poe's first comment meant he had a crow fetish?

11--maddy kahn? she looked alot better than that, even just before she died (check out "judy berlin" her last movie). current madonna reminds me more of willem dafoe.

A friend of mine had a sunken face from years of fighting AIDS. He got injections of something (I think it's called Resilin) and he looks great. Really, it worked wonders. He'll have to have it done every fews years but he looks much better.
