   For ladies: How do you maintain beauty, vigor, fashion and youth at 60's?
   
   I had just been invited to be one of the judges and to crown the winner of a beauty pageant in our area. I almost panicked because I am already 58 years and be among the beauteous 18-year-olds up to 23. How would I fare in terms of beauty and fashion? I then rushed to look for a gown to wear in the occasion...In my youth it was not a problem, I once was one of them but now my waistlines are already thick, nothing fashionable fits. I just feel inadequate for the task.
   I still have two days to go, can I make a quick check to cope with the social demands? Help.

   Darling, you look lovely -- I wouldn't worry.  I am sure you will be stunning no matter what, just be yourself and enjoy the show.  Congrats on being part of such an important event.

   You look great...beauty is as is often said in the eyes of the beholder. The first beholder should always be yourself. After 40 I began to truly believe beauty truly works from the inside out. Do you not see a type of beauty when you may have looked upon the face of say...Mother Theresa? Let those with youth have the spot-light (as it seems always the way) but have the peace that you were once there...and still are. Who better to judge a beauty-pageant then someone beautiful? Think about it and have a blast!

      Thanks for the thoughts. Being a judge in beauty pageants and many other competitions on intelligence and talents was a natural and frequent social function in my youth;it's been years since then and I had gained weight, so my feeling of inadequacy.
