They made a big deal about Sela Ward still being hot and in her forties a decade ago. Every once in a while they notice that there are a percentage of older women who manage to maintain a high percentage of their looks, without massive plastic surgery, into their forties (and, granted, some even improve with maturity). This, via highlighting by American Pie, got the term “MILF” and the associated meme, previously limited to circles on the intenet, added to the general vernacular.

Clearly, Rachel Hunter was another recent example of such a woman about the same time as Sela Ward.

As Neo notes “not gaining an inordinate amount of weight” is significant, and not particularly easy for a woman — I’d suggest this, along with not smoking in most cases (tends to ruin the skin’s elasticity) is the key thing… along with not over-bleaching the hair to make it blonde when the woman is a brunette (or trying to go platinum when a dirty blonde) — never seen any woman whose hair this didn’t eventually fry and make it look like crap.

Boots: I have seen photos of Brinkley, and although she does look fabulous (or, as Mitt Romney and Billy Crystal might say, "marvelous") for her age, she almost undoubtedly has had work done. Her doctor is very good, though. She probably hasn't had surgery (at least, technically speaking), but what's called "procedures," especially on forehead and cheeks. See this.

I agree with those you say the brain is the sexiest part of the body. Clearly a 40+ woman is going to have it over a 20 year old.

BTW at the other end of the spectrum: run some pictures of the young versus the present Bridgette Bardot. That’s what happens to those who get involved in extremist politics.

There was a post floating around the ‘net a few weeks ago about Christy Brinkley, who is 58 and looks gorgeous. So Claudia has a ways to go! And no, Brinkley did not “look” done in the frozen face way of done that surgery imparts.

I’ve thought for many years that women are at their very most attractive between roughly 30 and 50. They may not be at the peak of physical perfection anymore but something else has been added, some intangible rich feminine thing. It’s like *real* womanhood doesn’t begin till then, and that’s what’s so attractive.

It’s a huge amount of work to do anything.

What does David Copperfield and google have in common?

Brad (Brad!) do have yourself another drink.

I’d hit it.

Sorry, had to be said 🙂

My wife, who just celebrated her 65th birthday, is still gorgeous. She works at it, but genetics is a big plus. For one who has enjoyed beauty in all of its forms, when I first saw Claudia Schiffer in those Guess ads, I was blown away!

You’re hot, Neo!

I must say 41 year old women look vastly better to this 59 year old than they did when I was 19.
