A definite change in perception.

36 Comments

.

The recent death of Betty White got me thinking about that popular old show The Golden Girls. To be honest I never watched it, but I caught glimpses now and then.

They were women of a certain age dealing with retirement, the loss of spouses and age related illnesses. They were witty and sarcastic yes, but let’s face it…. more than a little frumpy.

.

.

The show I did watch religiously? Sex and the City. Four women in the prime of their lives romping their way through midtown Manhattan boudoirs with unrestrained glee.

Frumpy? Not hardly…

.

.

And in case you’ve been living under a rock, SATC has returned to HBO under the new name “And Just Like That”. We catch up with 3 of the 4 women ten years later… and while they may be older? They’re still gleefully experimenting.

.

.

To recap:

Golden Girls in their early 50’s.

.

.

Sex and the City girls in their early 50’s.

.

My, how times .. not to mention the perceptions of age… change.

And if you think that was bad? Here’s some more food for thought….

.

.

Damn.

😳

I hate false advertising.

In a delightful break from the Ball Wash and testicle hammock ads, I’ve been seeing women’s fashion on my feed instead.

Not sure why since I never buy clothes I can’t try on first, but anything that replaces random male crotch shots is an improvement as far as I’m concerned.

I do however take issue with their product claims.

.

.

For every body?

Trust me, this suit is not made for any woman over a size 4 and is why young girls grow up hating their bodies.

.

.

Adore Me?

More like Obey Me or Else. Whip and handcuffs not included.

It (unfortunately) never disappoints.

Gather round boys and girls…. September’s Cosmo, aka the worst gift subscription ever, is here.

.

.

On first glance I thought maybe, just maybe…. I could flip through it without being stunned this month.

.

.

Yeah.

No such luck. And as I’ve said before, I’m no prude… but the in your face sexual content of this magazine never fails to surprise me.

.

.

Greatest sex position. Wouldn’t that be a personal choice?

.

.

Not according to Cosmopolitan.

.

.

And… apologies, but I’m not going to discuss the Venus butterfly technique. Cosmo did, so if you’re curious, get your own friend to give you a year’s worth of this trash.

Cosmopolitan Hell … part 2.

.

Because this month’s issue was extra horrible and requires two posts.

.

.

Sorry Cara, but I definitely don’t want to hear all about your sex toys.

.

.

Golden penis syndrome. If nothing else? Receiving this gift subscription has made me aware how utterly out of touch I am.

.

.

As if you men don’t think your wands have magic powers already. Geesh.

.

.

Interesting demographic there. All in the south except one town in Massachusetts. Wonder why…?

.

.

No, I didn’t tear that article out and I didn’t tuck it under my mattress. I did give brief thought to sending a copy to Monica Lewinsky… but alas, I think that ship has sailed.

Whatever happened to plop plop fizz fizz… or snap crackle and pop? These days it seems like it’s all ball wash or dead hoohaas.

.

.

My Whoopee is right where it needs to be thank you very much.

.

.

They did not just say that!

.

.

Good grief, do they even prescribe that anymore?

.

.

Here’s hoping your hoohaa is in good health and not in need of such products.

One mad mother chucker.

I’m not sure why…

.

.

But momma woodchuck always looks pissed off.

.

.

Is it because her children are always under foot?

.

.

Or because the pesky human woman keeps spraying all the tasty munchies with coyote urine?

.

.

Maybe it’s because her tatas are hanging so low they scrape the rock wall.

Tough call… but I’m going with gravity. That’s bound to make any woman cranky.

Well done ladies.

In the continuing series Why does River keep posting this nonsense? I bring you the final squares of the centennial quilt.

.

.

No it hasn’t taken 100 years to complete, it’s just the time span being celebrated by our little town.

.

.

Does your town have yurts?

.

.

Mine does.

.

.

Hats off to creative women.

.

.

And their needles.

.

.

And now, what you’ve all been waiting for… ( or waiting to be over. Either way, you win) .. the completed quilt!

.

.

And may I just say, bravo.

This will hang proudly in our town hall so all can enjoy the fabric wrought history.

Oh, you thought my awful gift subscription to Cosmopolitan had run out? No such luck. So sit back and see what the young women of today are reading about this month.

.

.

Okay then… moving on.

.

.

Apparently there’s a dating app for everyone. Not ready for Tinder or Grindr? Try Tabby.

.

.

Meow!

.

.

This particular article was quite detailed and had everything you ever needed or wanted to know about circumcised penises.

.

.

As well as a lot you ( or maybe just I ) didn’t.

.

.

When in doubt, say nothing. Apparently my mother’s advice holds true for every situation.

.

.

What’s up Venezuela?

Wait.. on second thought. I don’t want to know.

.

P.S. I refuse to put sixty nine or circumcision in my list of tags. No good can come from that. So to speak…

Eat. Pie. Love.

The other day we drove almost 2 hours to look at a used pool table. It was a piece of junk and we had to drive almost 2 hours back. Funny how that works. So when I saw a sign that said Pies! Pies! Pies! I knew we had to stop.

.

.

At an adorable little store on a lovely 40 acre farm.

.

.

Yes, a mother and her 15 year old home schooled daughter run the entire farm by themselves. Please note all work is done by horse and ox. Maine women are nothing if not capable.

.

.

The store was filled with the fruits of their labor. Jams, jellies, relishes, honey, pies, wool, dried flowers, wreaths, maple syrup, soap… and yes. Everything was made by their own hands.

.

.

And this wasn’t some run down ramshackle operation. It was lovely, well kept and clean.

.

.

When my husband opened the upright freezer and saw it was packed with pot pies, quiches, turkey soup, mushroom ravioli, pesto, and minestrone he asked the girl when they found time to sleep.

.

.

Jam came home with us. As did some soap, some soup and of course…..

.

.

Pie.

.

.

Which instead of a traditional crust had a marvelously buttery and flaky rolled pastry foundation.

Pie.

It’s what’s for dinner.

And maybe breakfast.

A small collection of nonsense.

I saw this at Goodwill last week… and it made me wonder how many women in the 60’s stuck their face in a cone for the sake of beauty.

.

.

The ridiculous cat products are still popping up on my Facebook feed.

.

.

Saw this license plate and thought…. why would anyone want to be BoBo?

.

.

For anyone who doesn’t remember….

.

.

BoBo was a blow up punching bag…. and part of a groundbreaking study about learned aggressive behavior.

.

.

And if ridiculous cat products aren’t ridiculous enough? This abomination popped up on my Facebook feed the other day.

.

.

And I seriously don’t want to know what algorithm triggered that!
