Close up and personal

 


It was December 2007 that I immortalized myself as Gloria Swanson in the classic Sunset Boulevard. It was a post loosely based on my obsession with making videos. That passion has long since passed.  Videos take up way too much room on your phone and storage.  But the image of me as Gloria Swanson remains. Now for an updated version.


Now I am probably closer to Glory Swanson's age when she filmed Sunset Boulevard.  I think the diamonds really pull this look off.  In August of 2007 I used another famous movie to elude to bringing my daughter home.


Again, I am now closer to the original Godfather's age (not Brando, because he was much younger and was aged with makeup). 



I always could pull off a tux pretty well even if I do say so myself.  Then in February 2007 I went south (literally) in a post called Tomorrow is another day. 


Now that I don't give a damn how I look, here's my new version (though I do think the skirt makes my butt look too big).


And finally, in March 2007 I got all macho and went Timbo on everyone.


Here's what I look like now, though.


Aging is the disease and ChatGPT is the cure.
