In Praise of Older Women

My mom is 50. She is a smoking hot woman. Regardless, she is uncomfortable with her age and all the implications it carries with it. But considering that these days, many women over 50 give women my age a run for our money daily (and in my case, I can't hold a candle to any of the lovely ladies listed below), I want to take a minute to recognize some of the hottest women around--who just happen to be more of the fine wine as opposed to grape juice variety. I can only hope to one day look half as good as these women. And, by the way, even if any of these women got plastic surgery, botox, dyed hair whatever, doesn't bother me--they still had to have something to work with, so more power to them.

So, onto 10 hotter than hot hotties who make 50, 55, or even 60 look fierce.

1. Shohreh Aghdashloo--Age: 55



2. Isabelle Huppert--Age: 52

3. Charlotte Rampling--Age: 61

4. Bo Derek--Age: 51

5. Diana Ross--Age: 63


6. Rekha--Age: 53

7. Jacqueline Bisset--Age: 63

8. Cheryl Ladd--Age: 56

9. Shabana Azmi--Age: 57


10. Lena Horne--Age: 90...and still a red-hot diva


Do not go ugly into that good night. I tip my hat to you, ladies.

You forgot Helen Mirren who sends me into paroxysms of lust even though she's in her sixties and played the stodgiest woman in history.
