How old do I look?

[MaryofTeck]

Be honest

You look amazing! I’d guess 30.
Where do you get your hair done? It’s so natural, shiny and soft looking 😍

Now that's a good idea. What a resourceful person you are. Should I keep going with the Beecham's Powders as well?

I’ve just realised that I’m one of those mean mumsnetters that people write threads about, because I was mentally preparing a scathing reply as I clicked on the title. I wasn’t prepared for this 😂

There's a lovely gentleman who is one of our dear cousins from Austria -Hungary and who has trained as a hairdresser. Such a sad story. Anyway, he has all the latest pomades. I think this one is a mixture of cornflower, lemon juice and Polyfilla.

Definitely, dissolved in bathtub gin with an absinthe chaser - I'm sure any reputable physician would tell you the same - cures greyness, vapours and 'the rising of the lights'.

That's surely because my natural youth and beauty shine through, and I'm generous enough to share some of my beauty secrets. I was just saying this to our dear granddaughters. Jealousy is just so vulgar.

Oh, my, you are a gem. I'm plagued by rising lights.

😘

You look a bit like me and I'm 78.

The best looking woman so far in these silly 'How old do I look' threads posted by vain women.

Thank you, dear. I do suspect that they're all strangers to corsets and silk stockings and consequently have shocking posture and rough legs. They also do lack the rigour of a life inspecting factories and admiring hospital wards. It's marvellous for the mind.

The Norwegians do indeed eat way too much fish. I’m in Sweden and meatballs are so much nicer.
By the way, I think one of my relatives helped you deliver some letters to your dear aunt Augusta in Germany. I have her on Insta, and can say hello if you’d like.

I think your foundation garments are letting you down. You would no doubt benefit from a Boob or Bust measurement.

Well it's impossible to tell with all the necklaces. Post another photo without them and we can see the real you then.

I'm at Rexy's Pool Hall in Wigan on Sunday night for a few frames and bevvies with the lads. See you there? No hard feelings?.

Good advice! I once went to Markie's and was horrified by the so called undergarments. Not a whale bone in sight..

You're all being so witty but I can't get past an overly literal desperation to know how old Mary actually is in that picture? And was it airbrushed? And if so how?

I think a less rigid hairstyle & you'd look even younger than the 25 that you look.

You look utterly marvellous, am in total admiration of your curated decolletage

Oh please do! How is dear Augusta? I'd ignore that scandal with the bratwurst, it's happened to all of us. She's a wonderful woman. I remember her eating nine pickled eggs for a laugh!
The Schleswig Holstein Sonderberg Glucksteins are always up for the S&Gs.

Why thank you, dear. I do love the word "curated" and also the word "decolletage". I can tell you are a person of refinement. Are you one of the Habsburgs?

🤣

Hmmm. Maybe.

Send me a pic of your ankle and I’ll have a think about it. George isn’t a big guy is he? You know, from hearty well fed stock and prone to outbursts of jealousy or rage?

No idea where that gif came from 🤣 hope George isn’t like that 🙁
