Those of you who read this blog on a regular basis will already know this – Helen Mirren is a big hero of mine. Wonderfully talented, gentle, and HOT for any age.
Imagine my delight when I read this morning that Helen Mirren and Megan Fox (of transformers fame) are being pitted against each other in the Esquire sexiest woman contest. They are opening it up to online votes this year and so far Helen is winning!
And what did the ever humble Brit have to say? “Personally I think Ms. Fox is one of the smartest, coolest, and sexiest creatures in the Western Hemisphere. I am gobsmacked.” Well, darling, in my opinon, you wipe the floor with Miss Fox.
Yes, Yes, Megan is hot. And she knows it. She has the virtue of youth on her side. As Marie Stopes said, “You can take no credit for beauty at 16. (or in this case, 22) But if you are beautiful at 60, it will be your soul’s own doing.”
I hate it when people say, “you look great….for your age.” Yes, Helen is 63 and doesn’t look like most 63 year olds I know. But what difference does it make how old she is? She’s beautiful! And the reason has as much to do with her “great rack” as Esquire says as it does to do with her obvious comfort with herself and her joy of life. The experiences she’s had and lessons she’s learned are what make her gorgeous, even more than her fabulous (for her age *eye roll*) body.
So go now and vote for the woman you feel is sexiest. Vote for the glory of youth or fabulous experience. There are 14 other choices if neither of these women is your first choice.
As far as I’m concerned, every woman I know deserves the sexy prize. Whether you’re 20 or 60, as long as you’re you and living your life on your terms, you’re beautiful to me. You all get my vote! Go out this weekend and celebrate your own sexy self.
Hugs,
Christie
