From the board someone wrote:
"So to answer the OP's question, 30 something is the best age to win. If an older lady is ever going to pull it off, she will have to look like a 30 something (not with a bunch of plastic surgery either). There are ladies out there who could do it, it just hasn't been done yet."

Am I the only one who finds this a bit ludicrous? The expectation of "looking 30 something" as a 50 something tells me there is something broken with the system. That is akin to saying a "30 something" needs to look like a 10 year old. Try as you may, that is not going to happen.

How do older women break this cycle of insane expectations?
