All of us ladies have grown up reading the same magazines. From the fluffy soft porn of Cosmopolitan, to the inspiring Oprah, to the 'every-woman' Chatelaine. [Hey I didn't make these sayings up!] They all have fashion sections that show 'looks' for your age. They break it down into a look for women in their twenties, one for women in their thirties, one for forties and sometimes fifty + depending on what demographic the magazine is targeting. As I head into my fortieth year, I'm stumped on which 'look' I should be wearing. I'm on the cusp between my thirties and forties, oh, what to do? I mean I don't want people gasping saying 'eek, she is dressing WAY too young'. Yet, everyone thinks I look younger than my age already and come on, lets face it, a lesbian woman's 40 is a straight girl's 30. And you know these magazines are targeting straight women, so I guess I have my answer. Damn, I could have been wearing suspenders for the last 9 years!
