Today I was standing in line at the CVS. Directly in front of me was a petite woman wearing jeans, high heel boots, and a cute jacket with a scarf thrown over her left shoulder. Her hair was dyed a perfect blond with highlights and cut in a bob with the ends flipped up.

Then she turned around.

And OMG! She was probably 70-ish years old. With all the wrinkles to prove it.

I think I stood there with my mouth open. I even turned and looked at the woman behind me and she had the exact same stunned look on her face. Here's my take-away from this incident:

1. On the one hand, I think more power to ya! to this woman for not dressing like a grandma and for keeping her hair looking so nice and groomed.
2. On the other hand, I think this is just deceiving the general public. I don't like standing around with my mouth open. A fly could happen by and end up flying into my gaping mouth.
3. And just think if this woman went to a bar: she'd be standing there leaning against the bar with her back to the pool tables. Some young buck would spy her and saunter up to offer to buy her a drink. Then she'd turn around. And the poor fellow would have to figure out how to get the heck out of that situation.
4. This reminds of one time when I was in San Francisco. I was walking down the street behind this woman who was perfectly dressed in a elegant wool coat with killer-nice heels on and a great hair style. She was navigating the San Francisco hills with great skill considering the heels. Then she stopped at a red light waiting to cross the street and I caught up with her. Turned out it was a man. Dressed as a woman.
5. This tells me I should stop judging people by how they look from the back.
