Yes, th...I love your perspective and totally agree. Yes, the French do embrace getting older but few women here go without a fight. (They just do it in a subtle way that appears more graceful and confident...). Miracle eye creams abound but so does the idea that one is never "too old" for something...be it a new dress, a romantic encounter, a new experience. That may be their real "secret."

I believe a confident attitude helps project an elegant and positive image, no matter at what age. Wearing high heels doesn't hurt to give a youthful look....well, sometimes they hurt :)24/7 in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07038402750489034382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615835669512085965.post-39990806192184914772012-11-17T11:02:21.060+01:002012-11-17T11:02:21.060+01:00Hi paige,
I just commented you on Hip Paris Blog,...Hi paige,<br /><br />I just commented you on Hip Paris Blog, and it directly led me there on your personal site. Really interesting topic here, and you address it in a delightful way!<br /><br />As I told you on Hip P.B, there is effectively a French easiness regarding sensuality and seduction and dealing with aging is clearly part of it. And it’s the reason why this book of mine on French ways in sensual life (Being French!) has a chapter titled: Age and Sensuality.<br />I start this chapter by quoting Bernard Shaw when he said:<br />«We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.»<br /><br />And I truly think it’s a part of our secret about it, a sort of special wisdom in which we are not relinquishing the tiniest part of our seduction game while not being stupidly fighting the work of time. We just find the good shift allowing to appreciate what can be seductive in someone in different ages of his life.<br /><br />François Roland<br />url : http://chatlibre.blog.lemonde.fr/<br />Frantz Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03387215521210866875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615835669512085965.post-36349562480285114172012-10-25T15:35:31.429+02:002012-10-25T15:35:31.429+02:00but the French embrace getting older, no?
Here we...but the French embrace getting older, no? <br />Here we are in the States buying the miracle eye cream and looking into the latest doctor who can do something with the neck. or hands (my french cousins said that my hands "told a story" which is so contrary to my thoughts of "they look old and wrinkled").<br />I'm 53 and try my best to focus on the positive (instead of what I see in the mirror). My legs can run. My arms can hold my grand-babies. I keep up with current events (although I still don't see the *it* factor in Justin Bieber)and enjoy life as it is today...but if I could only put my 50 year old brain in my 20 year old body life would be *perfect* ;)A French Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922875342140951475noreply@blogger.com
