I love this photo of B.B. That she accepts who she is and allows someone to take her portrait shows that she’s beyond the shallowness of physical beauty. Yes, she ruffles many feathers because of her animal rights activism, and for her conservatism concerning the overpopulation of foreigners in France, especially Muslims. Bardot minces no words and has found herself in political and legal controversies over and over again because of it.
Once the epitome of beauty and an international sex symbol in the 50’s and 60’s, Brigitte Bardot has become a woman who has aged gracefully. If you don’t see it, then probably you’ve watched too many Hollywood actresses go under the knife and become mummified before they reached the age of 45!!!
Maya Muses: Everyone is looking for the Fountain of Youth, yet there is beauty in a face that has been etched with a life of happiness and sorrow. Plastic surgery doesn’t hide age; it’s an illusion that fools no one but the person looking in the mirror.

I know! She’s on of the lucky ones; many of us are cursed with thinning hair after menopause. I had so much hair when I was young, I thought I could never not have enough….little did I know!

I am watching the change of my body with wonder!
But I think I will chose to grow old with grace….
My Mum is 81,but have not a gray hair!So I think I will!
Birgitte Bardot ,do reminds me that it is all in the inside,because her beauty shines through!

Mia, your Mum is like mine, she only started getting gray hair a few years ago. She’ll be 86 this year!
I thought about plastic surgery a few years ago when I started to see the changes, but I’m over it now and I’m glad I didn’t. Something just doesn’t look right on women who go under the knife. In many ways they lose their charm or that special something that makes them unique.
Maybe that’s it! They all begin to resemble one another! Look at Paula Abdul!

Yeah!
I thought about it too for a few sec,then decide that I look good as I am…Specially when i saw a pic on a woman who I guess must have been 70-80 something, with lips full of something, and her face
like a mask…scary….
But everyone does what they want…
I don’t want to look like everyone else,I want to recognize myself when I look in the mirror….
Not sure I do that right now,hehe…but it is still me…

I know what you mean! That’s what I wrote in Who Is This Stranger, it took me awhile to get use to aging, but I’m all right with it now.

Yeah!
The best thing is you don’t care so much about others opinions now!
I am having fun,being just me…and can laugh at myself…even when I see myself in the mirror in the morning….hehe

Especially when I see myself in the morning! I think, “Oh well, it can only get better during the day, cause it can’t get any worse than what I look like now!” LOL!!!

I think you look great!
But how you look in the mornings I don’t know..
I make faces at myself in the mirror in the morning!
Scare myself so I wake up,hehe…no just kidding…
I still go out without make up on sometimes…
Come to think of it,it seems that younger women have more trouble with going out without warpaint than older?

Very true! I would never go out without makeup when I was younger (and probably needed it less), but now I go out with or without makeup; depending on where I’m going and what I’m doing! Like going to the beach, who needs makeup!?
