Wow, the McDormand clip is stunning, thought-provoking, and profound. I guess many of my fellow New Yorkers, living as they do among concrete and brick, are taking that route. I stand in awe of Fonda, of course, but Iām with McDormand in loving on the landscapes of my fellow dirt faces.
I never saw this interview with Frances and Chloe. I love not only what she says about her face but about aging in general and the characters in the film having a bit of swankiness to them. As in, if we accept who we are, face wrinkles and all, we do indeed feel a bit swanky. No ponytail needed. Or ponytail applied according to whim. I look at Jane's photo from the Emmy's, just 5 years ago, and can't help thinking of how just a few years later she admitted how tired she was of trying to look young. All the years of coloring her hair. Even (surprisingly) she's no longer sure about the face work she had done - if she could do it over, she may not have done it. Which, I think, is just about coming into a sense of comfort with ourselves. So hard to do in an environment that values looks above all else. But more and more, I think women are changing the rules and assumptions about what is valuable and what needs to be celebrated.
I've always loved Jane Fonda. Frances McDormand too. Both great role models on so many levels.
Do people with higher self esteem worry less about their aging faces, in your opinion? Or does this have nothing to do with self esteem? Curious to hear your thoughts on this, Val!
I love and admire both of these women. Speaking generally, of all women, I'm sorry some get their lips messed up. Maybe they are trying for the youthful lips that are more plump but most seem to overdo it and just look distorted to me.

These two women are perfect examples of true beauty inside.
