I dunno; there seem to be a few folks who actually prefer the artificial look. Maybe the shopper was one of them. ---

> [@Indygrrl](#): > > She’s gorgeous, but I don’t find it exceptional that such a young woman isn’t full of wrinkles and flab. I don’t know when 39 started to mean “old,” and I’ll never understand it. 39 seems “old” when you are like 20 and live in suburban Middle America where 90% of the people are 50 lbs over weight by the time they turn 30. Also, I think when you are younger, you assume everyone around you who looks young is around the same age as you.
