In response to the anon who asked about aging and beauty-- this is completely my own opinion but I think a lot of people hit their most attractive or most beautiful at different ages, women especially, and old age or middle age can be the height of someone's beauty as much as youth. Just as an example Joan Chen was beautiful when she was young, but I find her so mesmerizingly gorgeous now as a middle aged woman-- age made her beauty more obvious, not less. I think Carol Kane is just as lovely and magnetic now as she was when she was young. And I think while Monica Bellucci may have passed her most "beautiful", if anything, she is possibly More attractive. That is not say anything of the cuteness, or charm, character, gravity, or warmth that might come with age that wasn't there in youth and that are very appealing even if they aren't strictly "beautiful". And I've seen old women who just glowed with this ethereal light that no young woman could have managed. (As for men, Sean Connery was "sexiest man alive" in his 60s and I can't go a day without seeing someone simping over Alfred Molina, and I never saw that happen when he was young. People still manage to find men attractive at any age, at any weight, at any level of fitness) There's a lot of pressure to stay young, and we all know that's impossible, but equating youth with beauty or physical appeal is something I don't think anyone who's honest with themselves actually believes. It's a good way to sell products and push women out of careers though.
