I posted before checking for updates. I see I was pretty close Grin

I would have liked @Grannyknowsbest wallpaper in 1988. 😬

Maybe that’s why I like it, it reminds me of the Holly Hobbie wallpaper I had as a kid.

This thread is great, it’s had me chuckling away for ages 😆

Blimey, this thread is like a runaway train!

The OP has said, pages back, that she's 39.

Granny will not be returning to the thread any time soon. She's out shopping for new wallpaper.

Ah ha I guessed correctly!

@PurpleButterflyWings

I was joking 😳 light-hearted, you know?

No idea why the vicious post from you.

I thought the interplay was funny, that's all. I understand completely why it happened & wasn't getting at anyone.

No need to be so horrible.

Whoever said people would still be coming on and guessing wrongly on page 40 was right!
Well whatever page we're on now (on the app so can't tell)

She's 39 everyone!

I’m not guessing. I know how old she is.

The question was how old she looks. Not how old she is.

BlackJumpsuit · 08/08/2023 22:03

@BadLad
Fair enough 😊

Pontiouspilate · 08/08/2023 22:06

Despite first impressions, I think you'd look pretty good with a smile and some make-up

oh wow. Are you the patriarchy embodied as a mumsnet poster

BarryistheNewHarry · 08/08/2023 22:08

Well done @Grannyknowsbest for muscling in and deray the thread with your look at meeeee attitude and confusing the hell out of everyone. You’d look much younger if you worked out how threads work. Next time post you’re own and we’ll honestly tell you that you look like a 70 year old ex driving instructor

She still thinks it is..

AppleTurnover1000Degrees · 08/08/2023 22:23

I'm just watching And Just Like That and the actresses look lovely but they look in their 50's. So I think it's more you can look good if you dress nice and look after yourself but not many people look that much younger. You can also tell Jennifer Anniston is older even though she looks lovely.

okiedokie1 · 08/08/2023 22:41

I don't think @Grannyknowsbest has filtered the photos. I just think they are lo resolution images. Probably taken with an older phone.

I also think people should maybe back off @Grannyknowsbest She May well just be an older woman who doesn't realise not to hijack posts and who genuinely thinks she looks younger than she does. That's deluded but not a crime

AppleTurnover1000Degrees · 08/08/2023 22:44

The granny poster had nice skin, but the hair, glasses & top were quite old fashioned. So overall don't look younger than their age.

We dress a lot different to that in our 50's (I'm just 50). I'm not mutton dressed as lamb but like fashionable clothes and go to festivals.

That's sounds tatty about festivals. I meant to say there are a lot of people doing this in their 50's but aren't claiming they look younger but just enjoying themselves.

Bit rude 😆

Poor Granny I'm a feeling sorry for her now Sad

At least op use an unfiltered photo. When I've seen these threads in the past, and the poster who shared her picture on this one they are heavily filtered photos yet deny it 😂 I find that funny. Sometimes cameras on our phone do it without us even requesting, it's crazy. Normal skin doesn't look like that, even if you have beautiful skin it has texture.

How do you know other photos are filtered? I cannot say that with confidence.

It’s maybe not a filter as such, but the image has been “softened”, or had “noise reduction”, the skin texture has been reduced, you can see it more clearly on the skin area of her neck and chest, where softening/reducing definition/noise reduction has blurred out the natural texture. It’s not an old phone or just blurry, the photo has been enhanced. Very easily done on most phones.

anyone who has done it, which is a lot of people. Can see it immediately. It’s incredibly obvious.

Bonfire23 · 09/08/2023 07:57

@Janieforever but then some photos genuinely aren't
I was told I posted a filtered photo (not on here) and it wasn't Confused I just took it and posted it. No beauty mode or whatever, IG filters, FB filters
I wouldn't mind but if I've ever filtered something I've said!

I think it was just the good lighting Grin
This was part of the pic (I've zoomed in)

bryceQ · 09/08/2023 08:14

It's the lack of skin texture that shows you.

@Bonfire23 has beautiful skin here but you can see normal texture.

I work with photos for my job (not a photographer) and we are so used to filtering / photoshop / tweaks that we aren't used to just seeing normal pictures

You can clearly see skin texture inc your pores. The difference is clear.
