I don't think Clooney or Gere would agree with her.

Obviously, I don't either. She's a wonderful person, but she has a "thing" about getting old. I'm in my mid-50s; I think I'm supposed to have some gray hair by now.

The barkeep is wearing what looks like a baseball cap from the 1890-1900 era so that kind of sets the timeframe of the other tall crown cowboy hats. Tall crowns were popular in the summer heat too.

Tombstone, AZ but I forget what yr. The guy in the right rear along the wall could almost be mistaken for a young Wyatt Earp. A couple of ladies in the middle of the crowd can be picked out by their hats.

I think the term "ladies" might require the use of quotation marks in this context.

What a trade display! No one in the Western Hemisphere had probably ever seen a real tiger before.
