No way your 69 gorgeous. I’m a 52 year old bisexual guy and I look older than you 😔🔥

Thanks for the compliment 😊 Well sorry darling, but I cannot help that I look this young. Nature must have dealt me some good cards.... I was born in march 1956, that's what is says on my ID card. You'll have to take my word for that, because for obvious reasons I will not show my ID card anywhere on the interweb. I live & eat healthy, stopped smoking meanwhile a very long time ago, drink max. 2 coffees a day, drink 1 glass of wine at dinner, and use a very good moisturizing after shave balm, because yes I do need to shave my face, 6 days a week. The 7th day I give my face a rest from shaving. And when I dress en femme, I use as little make-up as I possibly can.

💋 Laura

A stampede - to see Grace

From LIONEL CRANE

Hollywood, Thursday

Film star Grace Kelly, the girl who is to marry Prince Rainier of Monaco on April 18, has left for New York after her last night in Hollywood. And WHAT a last night.

As the winner of an Oscar last year she went to a Hollywood theatre to present this year's "best actor" Academy Award trophy to Ernest Borgnine, who won it for his part in the film "Marty."

Handing over the award should have been a two-minute duty. Instead it ended up in a wild stampede below stage.

Like Derby Day

Directly Grace went below, where the stars are interviewed and photographed, everybody scrambled to get near her.

Audrey Hepburn was elbowed out of the way. Borgnine got separated from his wife.

Four separate rooms had been prepared for cameramen, reporters, magazine writers and newsreel photographers.

When the word spread that Grace was there, almost everybody poured into the corridors, which became as jammed as Epsom Downs on Derby Day. After Grace had posed for pictures, a reporter asked for an interview.

Grace said: "You don’t want to talk to me. I haven't won anything,"

Somebody shouted: "You have, honey. You have won a Prince." She was hustled into another room for still more photographs, As she went out she called out: "Please help me. I can't get through." 

She finally broke away and left the theatre.
