Ummm........i could loan you my steam generator Neubie!! :-D

Why do advertisers think women over 50 are soo gulible?
Why do they use the most brain dead blank faced hardly known actresses to advertise their .. wooo .. wrinkle cream removers .. hair dyes ..
Then you have the panty pads to use between periods ( if you still have them , cos you wanna smell fresh! For who ? Who the heck is gonna smell them??
Clean pants always used to work..
Tenna ads .. lots of smiling women going ..OPPPS I laughed..GRR
I am waiting for Y Front pads to make the over 50 Man about town who might just get an OOPPS smell fresh all day.. ;-)

I would like to see real women ( ie not those with cheekbones and clear skin that is clearly hereditary) in ads...I would like to see how a real 54 year old looks when these products are applied, no filters on the camera when the actress advertising the 'diet sensation' appears ( you look at her neck when there's no professional lighting...whole different ball game!).

And I would love to see the truth told when someone is described as "having dropped to 12 stone and is now in a size 10" .... rubbish!

and clothes for larger ladies that are made in really nice material, that isn't skimped on and which hangs nicely without costing a fortune.

lolol have just dropped my dunked biscuit into the mug :-D

Hiya Rose .. sick and tired of the adverts telling women of 50 to look 20..
WHY .. we are 50 and we have put up with 30 more years of living .. I don,t want to look as if I have been ironed , I don't care if i am no longer a size 8 stick insect ..
most of the blokes I know over 50 are ......... over 50 , going bald and with expanding waistlines .. they don't get the daft bint ad for ... OHH my hair was Oh so not silky until I used **** now my whole life has changed .. cos I'm worth it with the dappiest voice I have ever heard .. thick.. ;-)

:-D :-D :-D

Go ON....
Lets get RR'd , at least you get to say what you really think ..
Women .. say what REALLY pees you off..
My pet hate is the stupid idea that women over 50 are expected to try to look younger .. thinner ..
We are not allowed to age , we should have nips and tucks , worry about weight gain . We had kids .. your kids, it does stuff to our bodies
Why can't we be allowed to age gracefully .. OMG wrinkles ..
every darned advert is about how to avoid them .. what the heck is a cancle? I DON'T care if I am worth it! .. that woman in that ad for hair dye comes across as the most dopy offensive idea of selling to intelligent women I have yet to come across
So all these blokes 60 plus will end up with Barbie doll look alikes who have skin stretched to extremes and cannot get within 5 feet of an open fire for fear of melting.
In the meantime the balding heads and mid life expansion of the men over 50 somehow makes them a babe magnet acording to certain newspapers?
Seems to me that is only the case if their wallet is bigger than their expanding waistline ..
Just a thought and I want to age gracefully ..

:-P
