The New Face of Modeling - Over 60 and still Sexy!

Me in Hawaii at 62 - not a model!

I've been musing over how to kick off this blog, so I've been putting it off for weeks.  Should I start with a short bio of who I am and why this topic interests me?  Does anyone care about what I have to say about aging, dating, love and sex after 60 anyway?  I'm not an expert in any field related to women and aging.  I'm just a sixty-three year old Software Engineer, freshly divorced and not yet ready to live the rest of my days as a celibate. And so the blog waited...

Then today I saw an article on over 60 Super Models (since removed - but you can google it!) and it inspired me!  There is also a good article in Elle and a great video on YouTube about Jacky O'Shaunessey, a 62 year old model for American Apparel. I hope you enjoy reading about her as much as I did. She's truly beautiful and gutsy!

These women are redefining aging as we speak!  And the answer is YES! Women do care about these topics and even though I'm not a trained expert on women and aging, I am an expert on my own life and what it's like to be newly single and facing the dating scene. So I hope this blog will become a place where we can share our experiences, inspire each other and embrace this new age together!

If you have any comments, feel free to share.  What is your situation and how do you feel about women who can still be sexy and beautiful well into their 80's? Do they inspire you or intimidate you? Do you relate to them or do they make you feel like giving up?   Let me know!
