Yes, she does look very nice---for any age, actually. But it is important to note the excellent lighting, fine photography and Photoshop that goes into these photos. Combine that with the advantages you get when you are a celebrity, or rich, or a rich celebrity and you realize it is a bit easier for Sharon Stone to look like this, than it is for your wife of the same age.

 

Most people simply don't have dietitians, trainers and access to the best/latest facilities, plastic surgeons---as well as makeup specialists, expensive skin products---I could go on, but you get the point. When you are a glamours actress, your looks are vital to your job. For most people though, keeping this kind of regime is just extreme vanity.

 

When Bruce Jenner did those Vanity Fair (I think) photos after his sex change, I heard women say "I wish I looked that good." Some of them were fairly attractive women. They didn't seem to understand those photos had been taken by a great photographer, with perfect lighting, dressed especially by designers and probably touched up considerably. Just about anyone could be made to look good, under those conditions.

I didn't know you were a "professional photographer".

 

I'll tell the best of those women, "I'm not a gynecologist, but I'll take a look at it."

I agree with most of what you said. Except the word. Extreme.

My wife shops at ulta and lancome and buys some of the makeup you are referring to. She doesnt think it's vanity. Forget extreme vanity. She just wants to look good for as long as she can. That's not even necessarily vanity either.

 

While sometimes I get annoyed at the prices and the frequency. Being honest I do prefer a maintenance girl than plain plain vanilla jane.

 

Ps. It's not only my wife. These stores are always packed with women trying to better themselves.

I sense that you are doubting the veracity of my claim. I assure you that I can provide certificateS should they be needed.

I doubt they'd be too interested in a guy in a trench coat peeking in their windows...

I would kick the tires but do not imagine she is that tone or tight. Give me 20something year old over 50 any day of the week.

This older woman once told me this.

 

"Think of a broom. A 20's something can sweep. But an older broom has experience and can sweep just as good."

 

That's why I will take the older woman over the annoying 18-20somethings any day of the week.

Oh, I get it. I don't think there's anything wrong, or even that vain about using a nice products. It's the whole package of stuff that I meant when I said "extreme". Hell, I've been using a nice facial moisturizer for years. It really has helped my skin. (Ducks and awaits abuse.)

Oh, I wasn't skeptical at all, Mr Ball. I have no doubt someone paid you to keep those stalker photos you take off the net.

Don't forget that a good makeup artist also helps out a lot.

Oops, missed that. You're correct though. Photographers like that don't get paid to take a picture, they get paid to create a picture.

Am I the only one this doesn't make any sense to?

But there are a lot of women who you can put makeup on, dress them up, do their hair, and they'll still be fugly. Now of course Sharon doesn't look like that all the time, but the point is she can.
