It may be not how I would like to look, but as far as I'm concerned, well done Jackie! At 90 she is sticking two fingers up to everyone and doing what SHE wants.

Think my own own grandparents look for nicer without the silly plastic surgery and goodness knows what else is pumped into her skin.

She must be very very insecure in herself to go to these lengths; which is sad in itself.

She's 90y. Everyone knows she is 90y, so why the need to damage herself like this?

Yes, her face looks silly but her posture is pretty impressive for that age.

mignonette · 17/08/2012 12:43

The people who did this to her want striking off of the register.

when I'm 90 I want to be 90 and comfy not trying to fool other people that I'm younger than I am. If it makes her feel good great but she looks a mess and I can't imagine anyone being happy with their appearance looking like that.

when/if I am 90 I wanna do/wear/look whatever the fuck I want to and can manage! And I will not give a toss about the opinions of others I don't know especially in regard to how I look and present myself to the world, though I would hope imagine that those I knew/loved and who mattered to me will think GO HIPHOP you funky hippo, you rock that look!

(and I'm praying I won't be smelling of wee and wearing moth eaten cardies)

90?! No way!
The lips are beyond awful, of course, but the rest doesn't look so bad.
Rather that than shuffling behind a zimmer frame wearing nylon slacks and slippers...

She looks great for 90 but the lips are awful and people are perfectly entitled to judge what they think is a good look and what is not (I won't be copying it!). Those lips are unusually large and that's what causes comment. By doing this to herself a woman is saying that she has to look all pouty and sexy to have value and this is quite rightly attacked.

If I shoved a pair of huge balloons down my jumper and went out for a walk too right people would stare and comment - it just wouldn't look natural. Same if a guy shoved one down his trousers!

As for wearing what you like - I disagree. I sometimes see women wearing clothes that are aimed at teenagers and I don't think it works when they are self consciously trying to look younger (ditto men). They don't seem comfortable compared to women who have developed their own style and wear what they like without trying to look young.

Ernestine looks fab and I judge that going down to the gym might be quite a good idea after allSmile
