With enough wine -never!

I think we always stay foxy, only the audience gets older, eg in your 40s most of the men who find you foxy are aged 42 - 79.

About whatever age kylie minogue is. No-one rates her anymore, even though she was well fancied back in the day.

Also i think that Madonna proves that it is over by 50.

TheProvincialLady · 21/08/2009 12:31

No, Madonna proves that making yourself look like a cadaver is never sexy

I agree about Kylie but not so sure it is age related. It is more that she had Cancer I reckon.

Foxy? I am too big to be foxy. I think I might have been a bit wolfy in the old days. Now just a bit of a dog

I agree Kylie no longer foxy but i think thats because she's had too much botox etc and just looks a bit scarey now.

Madonna also way too over-exercised.

I think you can still look foxy into 50's and 60's but as theprovinciallady says - those who appreciate you tend to be older too.

Depends on attitude, my dear SIL is a total fox and makes young men blush

midnightexpress · 21/08/2009 12:36

Oh I am still foxy, but I have mange, and whiff a bit.

OrmIrian · 21/08/2009 12:37

No. It was meant to be funny. But TBH I always think of 'foxy' as slim and lithe and quick.

midnightexpress · 21/08/2009 12:39

Oh no, I thnk foxy is all about the eyes and the voice.

I think the "foxy" looking older women tend to be the ones that haven't had surgery, botox, filler etc.

When they have over-excercised, over-plumped and over-filled they tend to look too desperate to stay youthful, which immediately cancels out any foxiness they may have had.

AitchwonderswhoFruitCrumbleis · 21/08/2009 12:44

foxy's not about how you look imo, at least not only. it's the in-built flirt that's foxy.

MABS · 21/08/2009 13:15

i can do foxy at 42 definitely, i can also do distinctly old looking too tho

deaddei · 21/08/2009 13:58

I think I can still do foxy at 49...and that's with no extra help. Like Mabs, I need a bit of time in the morning, but still scrub up well.
