Re: Madge
You can be healthy, flexible, fit, and beautiful at 50, but her hyper-fitness undermines her overall "sexiness" because it screams, "NOT COMFORTABLE WITH MYSELF AND THE FACT THAT I'M AGING!!" Sexy isn't just having a nice body; it's not having to rely on that body for one's total sense of self-worth. A nice body presents you in an attractive package, but it should also send the message, "There's something even better inside." If your body doesn't project that there is something beyond the exterior package, then that is all anyone will focus on. And, as you age, your body will become more of an attention-hogging freakshow, rather than an asset.
She has always seemed to me to be very insecure (lots of super-successful people are insecure). Obsessiveness with sexuality, bizzarely coarse and vulgar language in contextually inappropriate circumstances, jumping around from religion to religion, training her body in a way that is almost unflattering in its strength... All says, "I have the mentality of a 15-year-old girl in need of approval."
When I think of a sexy over-40 woman, I think Sela Ward. Or Susan Sarandon. Or Lena Olin. Now those are stunning women, each of who has her own definite, unmistakable, uncontrived sexiness. They project self-confidence naturally and don't act like they need to "prove" themselves.
