i could live with knees like that if i elle mcpherson

brimfull · 23/07/2009 15:05

shocking

mine went ages ago

same thing happens to your arse

arse drooping is apparently to dow ith hormones

read it somewhere so must be true

SetSquare · 23/07/2009 15:06

but your arse is not so vital - you can hide that and support it, knees are OUT a lot more, well in my home anway

melanie griffin is alarming.

CybilLiberty · 23/07/2009 15:08

Mine are slipping a little like a unset jelly...but aren't crumpled yet.

SetSquare · 23/07/2009 15:08

lol at DM ese "Elle has fallen victim to saggy knee syndrome, a cruel and distressing affliction "

CybilLiberty · 23/07/2009 15:09

That's why leggings are such a blessing.

CybilLiberty · 23/07/2009 15:10

That's why tri8nny Woodhall wears leggings a lot, she's skin and bone apart from said knees

noddyholder · 23/07/2009 15:10

My knees are still like a teenager bit annoying the rest of me has gone south.It is awful as my legs could wear some shorts etc but too old everywhere else!Elle macpherson looks good what is wrong with them?

AnyFucker · 23/07/2009 15:11

Yep, saggy knees is an affliction I also suffer from (am 40+)

Add to that, veiny feet and the beginnings of varicosities behind my knees and it's all starting to go soooooo wrong

My arse is not too bad but I swear my undercarriage is 2 inches lower than it used to be

Although my tummy is flat, I get horizontal lines across it. Wtf ??

Oh well, getting older isn't too bad if you consider the alternative

SetSquare · 23/07/2009 15:11

saggy knee caps holder

SetSquare · 23/07/2009 15:11

CybilLiberty · 23/07/2009 15:12

Anyfucker I share your afflictions but my arse is getting wider

AnyFucker · 23/07/2009 15:13

I don't bare my knees any more, apart from on holiday

brimfull · 23/07/2009 15:13

oh my arse is never on show

I do look at a lot of old arses at work though

they all look very similar

loss of muscle causing the austrian blind look

"That's why there comes a time when every woman in her 40s must accept that her days of wearing miniskirts and hotpants are over, and she must embrace a wardrobe that consists of belowthe-knee hemlines."

Feck off! My legs are my only good feature.

noddyholder · 23/07/2009 15:15

demi moore had hers lifted allegedly

jumpingbeans · 23/07/2009 15:16

Perhaps Ellie, should stand/walk slightly crouched, it would stretch the skin over her knees, but then again perhaps thats not the look shes going for

PhyllisTine · 23/07/2009 15:16

Or a stout bulldog clip on each leg at the top keeping things taut.

BitOfFun · 23/07/2009 15:18

Anyfucker - are your denim skirts all below the knee now then? What would ABD make of that, I wonder?

Didn't Demi Moore get her knees lifted?

AnyFucker · 23/07/2009 15:21

lol BOF, I will never forget the denim skirt "debacle" too

I actually don't own a denim skirt, but if I did, it would sit on the knee

My knees are ok when I sit down, you see, and I have fab thighs

But the tits are crap

I believe Demi did get her knees lifted, but I saw a recent pic and they were a bit saggy again

DebiNewberry · 23/07/2009 15:22

oh god, you have got to stop it with the DM.

I like oh my fug for a nice bit of bitching about slebs

OrmIrian · 23/07/2009 15:23

ROFL - lifted means something different to me. I was having visions of someone nicking Ms Moores knees and leaving her resting on two piles of bricks

Shellseeker · 23/07/2009 15:23

lol at stout bulldog clip, Phyllis

SetSquare · 23/07/2009 15:33

ROFl at Austrian blind.
you see apart from the knee issue legs are perky, so a bulldog clip may be in order
