somethings are less affected by gravity then others.
But i'm sure the twins are very much affected when left to hang free.

no acid was thrown in that face, seriously.. that would be obvious, Google it , if you must. But the Girl from Afghanistan now is all the work of a hard knock life.

I think Stevie has done pretty well for 64, given all the partying she's done. She lives near me and I keep hoping I'll run into her at the grocery store.

Really? As opposed to Americans and Canadians? And the ever fattening Aussies?

The only people who seem to age well are people of colour. (Asian, African, Southern Medeterainian etc) The extra melanin in their skin protects them from sun damage.

I don't think brits age any better or worse than any other white people. In fact, without the sun to ruin their skin, they tend to age slightly better IMO.

Helen Miran is pretty hot for a late 60 year old.

Elizabeth Hurley?

Olivia Newton John (although born and raised in australia, does that count?) She was born in 1964.

AND, while I may be a bit biased, my 45 year old Brit wife still looks spectacular and still has a nicer body than most 20 year old women.

Ah, no. She was born in 1948. She's 64 years old.

Needspace, the women you mentioned don't look exactly young despite having had a number of plastic surgeries and botox treatments!

Olivia Newton John had so many surgeries in her face that lately she looks like a doll from Madame Tussauds. She also has Jewish ancestry (so not your typical anglo saxon) Although she looked older than 58, she still looked better without the latest plastic surgeries in this picture...

Helen Mirren is an attractive 67 year old but doesn't look younger than her age. Her real name is Ilyena Vasilievna Mironov. British? Go figure. Good genes matter... She also had a lot of work done in her face.

Elizabeth Hurley looks old despite having gone through plastic surgery and botox. Her wrinkles and hollows in her face give away her age. She is attractive, but she had plastic surgery to change her natural features in the past, which is why she looks good.

Elizabeth Hurley (before plastic surgery)

In any case your average British women don't go under the knife as the celebrities you mentioned above.

If you really want to see how real British women age, you need to go to London and meet people from there. (I travel on business to the UK all the time and know how my work colleagues look in comparison to my colleagues from the US and Canada). A great majority of British girls (no offense) are obese and not very attractive. While in London the only gorgeous women I have seen come from either Eastern Europe (Russia, Ukraine) or South America (Brazil?)

Perhaps your wife's case is a rare exception, then again we all like to think of our wives as Goddesses... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder....

BTW I come from Montreal where women are naturally beautiful so I know a lot about this topic

Texan women are amazing and age well despite the sun. She obviously had a lot of surgeries but still looks good...

I've noticed that many of the "before" pics have the subject in full make-up where many of the "after" pics have the subject with little or no make-up. That alone can make a big difference, no matter the person's age.
