Not as Funny as Last Weeks Funday Monday

Today, courtesy of my Funday Monday, I pay homage to the old people trying to stay young!

I for one find it quite difficult to comprehend that I will get old and wrinkly like my grandparents once were. Can you imagine our current twenty-something generation all old and saggy? No, I think not! All tattoos (check), piercing (check) and body modifications (I saw a TV programme on this…ahhh! No check.). With our fashionable clothes, expensive handbags and high heels (and that’s just the boys!)? To pay off our debts we’ll clearly be working the pole into our 100s (as people seem to be living longer these days too). Nothing wrong with working the pole BTW, I would definitely do it if I had the nerve! My god, I am seriously distractible today!

Anyway, old people seem to be getting quite confused about what to wear / what not to wear! Oddly enough this has been on my mind for a while!

Contrary to what you may have seen on the streets (I feel quite “street” saying that – but I’m far from it. Is that a good or a bad thing? I digress. It is not okay to do the following:

  • Wear ankle bracelets and corn pads
  • Wear miniskirts and support hose
  • Don speedos with cellulite
  • Have spiked hair and bald spots
  • Get a belly button ring and show your gall bladder surgery scar
  • Wear unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor
  • Sport your midriff shirts and a midriff bulge
  • Wear bikinis and liver spots
  • Wear mini skirts and varicose veins
  • Use inline skates and a Zimmer

My final point needs to be that there definitely comes a time where you have to hang-up your ripped daisy-duke hot pants!


BY THE WAY if you haven't seen my last couple of posts, check them out HERE and HERE, because it’s super and uber cool and the bestest thing ever and you need to join in. It’s my 100% excellent recession busting plan (that, like I’ve said before, I cannot believe the government have never thought of. They’ll catch on soon though – like they did with my idea to print more money!). JOIN IN (or I’ll tell you how much you suck. Well I wont, but I’ll say I did!).

@ IL - well, I think we can safely say that your little adorable self wont end up like that!

@ PJ - 36, wow that's old (haha), ok, well it's not as old as 50! Anyhoo, I think it's time to hang up your spandex hot pants!! x

I'd just like to point out that this isn't a picture of me hehe x

Jess said...

Oh my...I think that's actually my grandma. (Just kidding.)

I have to say - the only time speedos should EVER be worn is if you're some sort of professional swimmer and you're in some sort of race. Otherwise, I don't care how nice your body is - they are not right.
