“40 is good, 50 is great, 60 is fab, and 70 is fucking awesome!” ~ Helen Mirren 💪🏻
missed some greats!
I can’t believe Julie Andrews is not on this list guys.
“It’s fucking outrageous. It’s ridiculous. And ’twas ever thus. We all watched James Bond as he got more and more geriatric, and his girlfriends got younger and younger. It’s so annoying.” – Helen Mirren on the bullshit that is (sexist) ageism (source)
Whenever you need a positive role model to help you remember that aging is NATURAL, aging is BEAUTIFUL, there is NOTHING WRONG with aging, and if you’re LUCKY will you live long enough to experience it – look long and hard at every single one of these these Queens.
LOOK. AT. THEM.
Go ladies!
Might I add
Rekha
Hema Malini
Shabana Azmi
Asha Parekh
Rita Moreno
Many women have talked about how amazing life is after your 40s. Some have their happiest years in their 70s. We need to stop believing society when it tells us our lives are over when we reach 35.
no but it is potentially the start of the reverse happening, straights being put in the place of gay people, being kicked out of their homes and/or being killed because of their sexuality, if that starts it’ll set off a viscous loop that we may not be able to break out of
btw, I highly recommend that all lesbians subscribe to Lesbian Connection. it’s FREE to all lesbians (you can also choose to donate), no matter where you live. you can get a physical and/or a digital copy (again, both are free), and it prints 6 times a year. it’s given me a tremendous sense of connection to other lesbians around the world, and taught me about lesbian/feminist/women’s history and culture. the readers represent a wide range of political views and ages, and the magazine is always delightful to read.
