    Pardon the pun, but men have less "upkeep."

    Aging beautifully and gracefully, then vs now: Who did it better?

    I did a little research and found this about 2011: "Women had almost 8.4 million cosmetic procedures, 91% of the total. The number of cosmetic procedures for women increased over 208% from 1997." http://www.surgery.org/media/statistics I wonder what the increase is from 1960, 50, 40, 30 and 1920?

    Aging beautifully and gracefully, then vs now: Who did it better?

    Up until maybe the 1970s, not sure when it really started, women generally looked their age. By that I mean they weren't dying their hair in the numbers we see today, faces weren't puffed up with Botox and Collegen and plastic surgery wasn't as rampant. While oppressive and unfair it seemed to...

    Why!!!! Hipsters!!! Why!!!!!

    I'll give you an actual hipster-like reaction on 9/11. I grew up in NYC, btw, but I was working at a day job in Maine. When I read the news I began to panic. Was my family OK? What was happening? I walked over to the desk of a woman from CA to see if she heard the news. She looked at me, saw...

    The End of the Oak Room, Boston

    I had dinner and breakfast at the new Oak room when I stayed at the Fairmont after I posted above. I would definitely return to the Fairmont for a visit- lovely. I will not return to the Oak room. The service was friendly but not four star, not even close. The food was acceptable but very...

    Bob Barker/ Jerry Lewis Done Wrong / "Rebranding"

    Then please feel free to ignore me if you typecast me as one to whitewash. Besides, my comment was directed at Noir whatever his name is and not you. I have no problem with you posting the video. Anyway, I don't consider myself "golden era folk" but simply myself.

    Bob Barker/ Jerry Lewis Done Wrong / "Rebranding"

    I know many talented jerks. I liked his role in the show; I'm not speaking of the man. I hate that Woody Allen married his adopted daughter but I still love many of his films.

    Bob Barker/ Jerry Lewis Done Wrong / "Rebranding"

    You contribute nothing but self-important derision. You detract from the FL, in my opinion. Or maybe you just aren't good at marketing your ideas. This is a good thread. I hope people will not feed this troll.

    But marketing was once filled with smart people. What happened?

    Bob Barker/ Jerry Lewis Done Wrong / "Rebranding"

    I also admired him for his endurance and also was motivated by him. Well stated all around. Speaking of the "new" JC Penney, I've been getting a small, expensive-looking heavyweight catalog from them. It does nothing for me. I think they are trying to look boutique-chic.
