Lucy Fucking Liu...

Is forty fucking eight.

She looks ten years younger than me, when actually the reverse is true.

My mind is blown. She should bottle it and sell it if she works out what it is.

She is gorgeous!

KarmaKit · 22/02/2017 21:12

She's gorgeous AND a very talented actor. V. Unfair.

Lilaclily · 22/02/2017 21:12

Oh I agree

I have loved her ever since she was in ally mcbeal

EssieTregowan · 22/02/2017 21:12

I don't even think that picture does her justice. She's floating around in tiny shorts on Elementary being all ethereal and timeless.

I want to hate her but she's too fab.

Oh I love her. She's classy as well.

KatharinaRosalie · 22/02/2017 21:15

Christy Brinkley. She's 63 here.

ThePinkOcelot · 22/02/2017 21:15

I'll probably get shot down in flames on here for being racist or something, but I think oriental people and black people age very well.
She certainly looks lovely.

mrwalkensir · 22/02/2017 21:17

And she's funny - remember watching Ally Mcbeal outtakes years ago. The rest of the cast were pretty boring, but she was a hoot

AndShesGone · 22/02/2017 21:18

She's not got one wrinkle on Elementary

She's utterly beautiful Envy

AnyFucker · 22/02/2017 21:19

She is lovely indeed

AnyFucker · 22/02/2017 21:20

It's not racist, Pink. It's just an observation that appears to be based in fact.

2017SoFarSoGood · 22/02/2017 21:22

ThePinkOcelot no flame throwing, but is it only me that cringes every time I read the term "oriental" on here or elsewhere? It is really quite a horrible throwback term, only suitable to describe a fine rug IMHO. Asian is fine for a generic term I think.

I totally agree some ethniciites seem to age better than others. Sadly, not mine Sad

EssieTregowan · 22/02/2017 21:26

The gorgeous woman who plays Agent May on Agents of Sheild is the same age I think. So based on that incredibly sciency evidence I think it's official that Asian women age better than me.

I agree about 'Oriental', it's a bit cringe horribly reductive and imperialistic

I can spell shield, honest.

So near, Pink, and yet, so far Grin

noblegiraffe · 22/02/2017 21:29

Ming-Na Wen (agents of Shield) is 53 Shock

Lucy Fucking Liu...
EssieTregowan · 22/02/2017 21:29

Oh and also Christy. Although I suspect her agelessness is possibly 'assisted'. Even so I'm well jel.

OP posts:
EssieTregowan · 22/02/2017 21:30

53!

I dread to think what I'll look like then. If I'm fat and haggard in my late thirties I've got no chance really.

Comfort yourself with this: they probably go to bed early, don't eat anything nice or drink anything alcoholic and make themselves go to the gym ALL the time.

OuchBollocks · 22/02/2017 21:32

Ming-Na Wen's character in ER talked about giving a date "a hand job during Harry Potter". It made me feel queasy and still does when I see her.

QueenofPentacles · 22/02/2017 21:33

You should have seen my Mama. She was splendid and gives me hope I have the genes. Actually Mum was on HRT for about 20 years so maybe not.~
Anyway I still get patronised,
I am hoping that is positive...ahem.

MothersRuinart · 22/02/2017 21:33

They all look gorgeous. I'd love to think it's due to their healthy lifestyles and great skincare routine or expensive products, just so I can think that I could be like that one day. But it's probably genes.

childmaintenanceserviceinquiry · 22/02/2017 21:34

She is lovely! And a fab actress!
