fuck, setsquare, where did you get that picture of my knees (the one on the left)

I sometimes think slightly more mature ladies need a bit more fat to pad out the sagginess

I think that is true in my case < gets out the choccy digestives >

Why oh why don't women learn that once your flesh is no longer peachy, it really is much sexier to wear a dress that covers you up a bit!

karala · 23/07/2009 15:46

Oh ARSE! I'd never ever worried about my knees until this.

One more reason to hate the Daily Wail

noddyholder · 23/07/2009 15:47

Skinny is bad if you are a bit haggard anyway a la melanie griffiths.Well thats what I'm telling myself as I'm off to pizza express tonight!

clicking on the knees made my pooter crash

I look like a lampshade in long skirts

nicolette sheridan looks grimmo on those pics.

As for Melanie Griffiths, the woman has looked rough for a long time, too many prescription drugs and face injections but those are the legs of an 85 year old, surely ?

BettyTurnip · 23/07/2009 16:22

Hmm, quite heartening to see that the men leaving comments were generally in the "Oh fgs, so what, leave them alone, they're still gorgeous," camp. Women are never happy unless doing they're doing eachother down.

Imgine being faced with Elle McPherson, all 7 bloody foot of her or whatever she is, and focusing on her knees.

Sunshinemummy · 23/07/2009 16:24

I don't think Elle's are that bad but bloody hell Melanie Griffiths!

BettyTurnip · 23/07/2009 16:27

Having now dismounted my high horse I'm going to be a big fat hypocrite - agree, Melanie Griffiths !

BadgersArse · 23/07/2009 16:28

lol @turnip

FelixFelicis · 23/07/2009 16:35

What are the over 40's supposed to do on the beach then? Wear kneepads?

Think I might have to start wearing a burka so as not to offend anyone with my hideous signs of aging

BadgersArse · 23/07/2009 16:36

ROfl at knee pads

yes

OrmIrian · 23/07/2009 16:40

If you were a particularly short man you might have to concentrate on her knees.

BettyTurnip · 23/07/2009 16:47

Yes, if you're Verne Troyer.

I suspect most men would be happy to come up to chest height

browntrout · 23/07/2009 20:54

think that dress that elle mcpherson has on is just awful - like bonsoiranna says - sexier to cover up a bit. It is just too much showing at both ends. Bet it's really annoying to wear as well.

DarrellRivers · 23/07/2009 21:00

ffs
first you make me worry about my heels
now my knees
who gives a toss?

Pollyanna · 23/07/2009 21:02

see, this is the advantage of having fat knees, they won't go like that.

BodenGroupie · 23/07/2009 21:25

Just makes me sad that one woman would write this stuff about another - wonder what the author's knees are like?

cahu · 24/07/2009 01:06

Who cares about knees when there is so much more to mourn. A full body lift, please....

RamblingRosa · 24/07/2009 08:35

That article is really depressing. Not because it's so tragic that we all face a future (or present) of saggy knees but because it's so depressingly DM, misogynistic, petty minded drivel. We should all put our pinnies on and stay indoors scrubbing the floor with a toothbrush or something (and make sure the pinny is sufficiently long to hide our horrible knees if we ever venture out into the world). Horrible, horrible, rag of a paper.
