Indeed. I have Scott Kelby's Professional Portrait Retouching Techniques on my bookshelf. It's not at all difficult to take 10 years and 20 lbs. off someone. Beyond that it starts to look faked.

Are you available to just follow me around and do this on the fly?
The technology will soon exist for a device that generates a cloaking/interference field, which, rather than reflecting light toward the viewer's eyes, would project/reflect light according to user-defined parameters, say George Clooney or Jennifer Aniston projections.
Until then, there's old technology: Alcohol
Let's parse that caption.
"What the hell happened to her"? Haven't seen someone in 32 years? That's a typical reaction regardless of the other's age or sex because that's a lot of change to absorb in a moment. The man in the cartoon has had 32 years to know and accept what's happened to himself.
"Ugh" Mainstream movies and TV are cast with pretty people. The audience has been conditioned to expect it. Had this been a new character, it's unlikely Carrie Fisher would have been given an audition. It is what it is until people who want it different put up their own money to make movies.
I recently read about a first time TV show runner / head writer looking at head shots for the lead characters. When he got to the pile for the character with a description and type that included 'unattractive', he turned to the casting director and diplomatically asked why are you showing me pretty people? The casting director told him that in TV terms these are unattractive people.
I thought Joan Rivers looked amazing for her age, but then I've heard rumors that she switched from a plastic surgeon to a taxidermist a number of years before her untimely death..Just my opinion, but there are plenty of women (and men) who maintain their attractiveness as they age......
I am not sure about all of you, but when I look in the mirror I still see myself in my 20s. It's just when someone sends me a picture they recently took of me, I see someone a bit older...

No one likes the physical aspects of aging but you have to accept it or be unhappy. My Mom would say that she would feel about 40 in the inside and then catch a glimpse of herself in the mirror and think for an instant "Who is that old woman?" It does beat the alternative though)

older women tend to let their eyes skid off of younger women
And, for the guys, when 'younger' women don't even see you.
I am going to be 60 later this month. ( female)
I am 5"10. Some days, when I wear flat shoes and loose clothes and no bra, I look and feel 100 and frumpy.
Other days, when I wear boots with 2-3" heels and stand up straight, with a good bra, my "good" purse, and my chest thrust out, I can still get looks. ( and YES I have a blouse covering my bra!!!)
I see men look and I feel good!
It's just too hard to stand up straight with my chest thrust out every day.....!
But I still do it occasionally to see what happens. Then I exhale and go on with my life.

So why is it the only time DW ever comes to look over my shoulder and read forum posts I'm reading something like this?I am going to be 60 later this month. ( female)

Just? No way. You're a retired dirty old man.That's a relief. I thought I was just a dirty old man.

Mr. A. tells me he sees men "looking" at me in the gym. I am oblivious to this. When I was a little girl, I disliked being "looked at," and I guess I learned to tune it out.
I strike up conversations with both sexes, though, and the men seem to have more interesting things to discuss (except for a lady from New York, who makes me laugh with her wisecracks!) Could that be because the men are making more of "an effort" to be interesting? I dunno. I just like talking to people who have something to say.

I've found that having something interesting to say generally gets me in trouble...
