How do you plan to age? Glamorous or natural?

PictureDame Joan Collins - en.wikipedia.org
A veteran star told a reporter she turned down a huge sum of money to appear in a reality television show a few years ago. Well. I don't blame her. Who wants to show wrinkles and all to a gaping audience?

Dame Joan Collins is maintaining her glamorous image despite her declining age. And the appearance she turned down: I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!, which she said was not her cup of tea.

She spoke to a reporter at at Selfridges in central London while signing copies of her latest book,
​The St Tropez Lonely Hearts Club, which she dedicated to her sister, Jackie, who died of breast cancer in September aged 77.


As a celebrity ages, it takes her a huge amount of time and effort to look good enough to be photographed and interviewed. Heck! I should know.

Or maybe not.

I'm rarely seen in public because I find it difficult to walk. When I go out, which I'm planning to do soon on my weekly Health Walk with a local group, I appear without make up just the same as usual. I like my face. Any wrinkles around my eyes show I've lived, laughed and cried.

The most precious experiences in life relate to those you love. Dame Joan has dedicated her book to her sister. I'm lucky my two younger sisters are still alive. Although they reside on the other side of the planet, my love and admiration for them remains as strong as if I see them every day.
​
As for glamorous, I'll leave that for the stars.

Natural - I have no choice! Well, I do, but two years ago, I decided to stop coloring my hair. I went prematurely grey when I was in my 30's. I decided I would go natural, and, so far, am happy with my choice. (I also don't wear makeup, but that's a different story.)

Natural is eternal for sure. . and glamorous is momentary. So guess, it's prudent to stick to natural :)

Natural is the only way to go.

I'll age how things are tended for me. I don't have the means to go to a complete make over.
It strange to see how people age...I'm 55 and I know people who is same age as me solid white and quite few wrinkles.
My hair is still more dark then white, and sure there wrinkles but I feel I'm ages well natural.

I have a cousin who quite well off. Bald and having a hair transplant would be nothing. But choose to wear a ball cap

Coffee is on

I don't know.. haven' t thought of it yet..But I guess, naturally..!!
For it reminds us who we were.. what we faced.. and keeps our humility intact!
Loved your take on this..

Cheers
