I think she looks fine too, awful eyeshadow though.

Philip and Holly are so bloody irritating aren't they?????

hecatetrivia · 25/05/2012 11:41

She looks fine. She is a perfectly normal woman in her 60s.

We've just been conditioned to believe that a woman must look youthful and slender and conform to some idea of 'beauty' or there's something wrong.

Well there's not. We are all going to get wrinkly, saggy, puffy, go grey - perhaps have thinning hair, get liver spots...

That's ageing. We need to stop being afraid of it. Stop seeing it as ugly. It's not.

Helen Mireen hasn't had children and has lived a relatively pampered life. Judy's turned up for work in a competitive stressful industry, done live Tav every day for God knows how many years, had two marriages, four children.

The woman has got stuck into life.

IslaValargeone · 25/05/2012 12:35

Had a look on You tube and was expecting something awful, but I thought she looked lovely.
I think we are so exposed to shiny foreheads and fillers we have forgotten what natural ageing looks like.

squoosh · 25/05/2012 12:42

Helen Mirren has had work done that's why looks younger than she did in the 90's when she was on Prime Suspect.

KatieMiddleton · 25/05/2012 12:47

She looks great. Sat next to the much younger RM who is aging irritatingly well, is not going to help anyone, but I think she looks good. I also get the impression that she really doesn't care much about being a s'leb any more which is really refreshing.

She's had a fantastic career and four children - fantastic achievement.

robotcornysilk · 25/05/2012 12:47

just looked at the youtube clip - Judy looks nice I think, I really like her hair. Philip Schofield is too thin, as is Richard. Skinny men look older in middle age IMO. I want a beefcake like Liam Neeson.
Does everything have to be about Holly's arse though?

treefumaster · 25/05/2012 13:05

So what if Joan Collins, Madonna, Vordeman etc have had "work"?

The so what of it is that then people think it's extraordinary for a 64 year old woman to look 64. And then have the temerity to appear on television.

This whole thread is really horrible and as someone else said, this is women talking about women. I don't actually hear men talk like this particularly either about women or about other men (although AA Gill was a notable recent exception). It's women who have bought into this nonsense and are now busily trying to enforce it by shaming anyone who dares to ignore it.

Just read through, and agree with springheeled jack - the I Love Judy posts way outnumber the nasty ones. Judy wins!

KurriKurri · 25/05/2012 13:18

I'm not a big fan of Judy - mainly because of her having made the choice of marrying the uterly appalling Richard 'I go commando and let it all swing free' Madeley.

Apart from that I have no quarrel with her - so she shakes a bit and looks her age - I bet she's crying all the way to the bank. Grin

habbibu · 25/05/2012 13:19

Thanks, Pinot!

IslaValargeone · 25/05/2012 13:22

That was information on Richard that I really didn't need to read.

GetTheeToANunnery · 25/05/2012 13:22

OMG
just googled her
is this really her?!

bamboostalks · 25/05/2012 13:23

Judy rocks. Love her. She is a very very nice person in rl. Old age came to her as it does to us all.

aliceinboots · 25/05/2012 13:25

But is 64 really old these days? She looks at least 10 yrs older. No, it's not a crime but it is a bit shocking.
Just saying...

KurriKurri · 25/05/2012 13:29

Well 64 is just a number - some people look young for their age, others look older.

To quote Indiana Jones - 'It's not the years Honey, its the mileage' - and being married to Richard would put about 120,000 on anyone's clock.

aliceinboots · 25/05/2012 15:33

It's the eye bags and the jowls. If she got rid of them she'd look fine. Oh and if she lost some weight of course.
She has always appeared to me to be a lovely woman BTW. Much nicer than Fern Britton and her smugness.
I wonder how old Schofield is...he's in pretty good shape. I read somewhere recently that he only allows himself to eat one meal a day.

HillyWallaby · 25/05/2012 15:56

'It's not the years Honey, its the mileage' - and being married to Richard would put about 120,000 on anyone's clock.

PMSL at that. Grin

I love Richard. I know he's a bit like an irritatingly cheerful labrador, but I like him in spite of myself. He has no 'side' - I think what you see is what you get and he seems like a genuinely nice bloke a far as I can tell.

HillyWallaby · 25/05/2012 15:57

And you can lay off Fernie as well cos I love her too. Have no opinion at all about the Hilly Wallaby (strangely) as I have never ever seen her do anything at all.

valiumredhead · 25/05/2012 16:00

Just seen the link - good grief she looks fine! We are kidded into thinking anyone who isn't botoxed and looks 20 is weird! She has awful make up that's it Confused

HillyWallaby · 25/05/2012 16:11

I've just looked too. she looks a bit plumper in the face than I remember her, but I think the biggest crime there is the make-up. Too harsh and unflattering.

BonnieBumble · 25/05/2012 16:12

Also just looked at the link and think she looks fine. That's how I will age, I can already see the signs. All the women in my family age like that, we don't have good bone structure.

squoosh · 25/05/2012 16:14

Yeah I don't mind Richard either, I quite like when he comes out with all the cringeingly awful stuff. A lot of people seem to dislike him intensely though. He always seems so in love with Judy and I think they look like they have a really good relationship.

I realise I have probably cursed their marriage now and in a week's time there will be revelations in Heat magazine that he is to be Katie Price's fifth next husband.

Flightty · 25/05/2012 16:21

I hate this sort of thread. what do people get out of being so unflinchingly cruel?
