Sexy At Any Age

By Amanda Kennedy

Tina Turner still sexy at 72Used to be the word sexy was reserved for 20 something’s but have you noticed its been creeping up decade by decade.   Sharon stone made 30-something sexy when she let us peek between her thighs in basic instinct. JLo is rockin’ that beautiful booty at 40 and Madonna is now saying hey, 50 is still fab…Tina did it too. And to think, I left my Hollywood career behind at 32 in 1990 feeling old because I was no longer the ingénue.

I learned from a customer that the demographic for pleasure toys in her catalog which goes out to 100k American women every day in fly over states is 65 and up. F a b u l o u s! And this is not because there’s a shortage of willing-Viagra-toting older men for these women. I think it’s because we finally can say we are sexual creatures until we die. Baby I was born this way. Thank you Dr. Freud.

So who’s to say we can’t enjoy sexy lingerie? And when are we going to see “that” in the magazines? Or will it be like plus size models being size 8 instead of size 20-30 and beyond,  which is what plus size is.  I am sure we will never aspire to age because it’s just too existentially angst provoking. However, we can aspire to be beautiful women at any age and yes, sexy is beautiful at every age.

Carmen then and now - fabulous!
I am so proud that we are becoming more inclusive in this amazing time of the first man of color in the white house who has brought full sentences back.

    I love this! Amazing article. Our store is all about women feeling beautiful inside and out. We always want our customers to walk out feeling beautiful and confident. We encourage every women of all ages to enjoy their sensuality and sexuality and starting with with their hearts and souls to their undergarment does help how they feel about themselves for sure. The lingerie is for them and them alone. I have seen it first hand time and time again. The smiles on their faces when they leave my store. A women’s beauty comes in many layers…Randee from Bardot Lingerie, Millburn, NJ
