ET at the beach?

I was out today and noticed some pretty young girls hanging out, okay they were of legal age and at one time I would have thought of them as ladies, now they are girls. 'Sigh', the joys of getting old. In the words of my good buddy Stan Thomson, "I bet her mom's a looker!!"
I see young females doing stuff today that just amazes me. Filling their bodies with holes with execessive piercings, tattoos in very visible places.
Sure they may think they are hip and cool but youth has an expiry date. When you are 19 or so, you feel immortal and never think of your "best before date" stamped in your genes.
I remember before I went to Australia last year, I did a bit of fake and bake at the tanning salon as I knew I was headed into a warm sunny area. I wanted to have a bit of a base so as not to burn and not scare the kids with my Canadian paleness. Just a bit of color is all.
There were many young ladies that came in that tanning salon that must have been 4 times a week regulars. Baked dark brown and in the middle of December. Why? Cuz it looks sexy they think. Really? Some were already showing aging of the skin with dry, baked looking hides. Most of these cougar cubs were barely more than 22 I would guess.
Now back to the girls I spotted today. One of them had a dark tan, She was definitly a caucasion girl right down to her fake blonde hair and Britney starter kit ensemble she was wearing but you could tell she had been baking all summer and perhaps all winter. Very tanned skin that was looking like it was starting to say "uncle!". She was smoking too as she was young, invincible and of course, her stinky tobacco breath was sexy in her young mind as she puffed away. Puffing and starting the beginnings of the permanant wrinkles that smoking can do.
Now maybe she will be lucky and never have lung cancer or melenoma but let me tell you girly, you are a ticking time bomb of ugly waiting to happen.
Preserve your beauty as you only get it once.
I have posted this pic to show some of the kids that what you do now reacts down the road. If I can find a pic of how ugly a lower back tattoo, or facial piercing looks at age 60+ I will post it too.
I doubt she will ever see this pic or my writing but this is for those of you who bake and puff away thinking it is all okay. This pic is your Freedom 55 ad gone askew. Freedom from guys checking you out. Freedom from turning heads. Freedom from beauty. Freedom from your natural self.
I still have unused minutes at the tanning place. I have a touch of color now and that is good enough for me.
So you young princesses, you can heed my advice but hey, I am just some old bugger to you. If you won't listen to me, let the little kid's facial expression in the pic talk to you.
Later bimbo's.

eeeew. I know how gross tattoos can look when you age. Someone I know has one on her foot of a rose and now it just looks like she smashed seaweed on her skin and she's only 35, not 60!
okay, interesting piece and i would like 2 shed perspective on the question "why do the women/girls/ladies/ho's...why the need for the golden glow>>" DO you honestly beleive women do these things just 4 ourselves {especially in the mind of youth} Any where in the world people mutilate their bodies to be beautiful...accepted...special...noticed. We all desire to stand out from the crowd, but the older &wiser know to actually stand against status-quo takes courage, and we don't teach or promote free-thinking or individuality anymore (: A querry for you gents: what do you men tend to react to....the shock of the different>> or do you jump for the more predictable>> i turned 40 last summer and i am considering a tat, my decision is based on my still rebelling against the xian folklore i suffered growing up {aka: never mark the vessel/god image...whatever, the same belief system that claims circumcision is a nice/necessary act (:
Daryl, you should talk to yr good friend of the "girls gone wild " fame and see if you can discover why the young ladies are willing to sacrifice their quality of tomorrow for attention today. Maybe you gents can watch oprah once in awhile and you might be surprised just how significant a woman/female views herself thru the eyes/reactions she encounters from the opposite sex, and it is predominately the opposite sex parent that has the strongest influence in shaping that individuals' self-image....so just imagine what children of vacant/absentee parents are learning about their self-worth....i think we all can relate (: i'm curious 2 if yr dislike for cutting up/into the female form covers plastic surgery >>

I am not a huge fan of such. Store bought breasts are a turn off as are those fake lips. They look like iron on ones!! LOL
I can understand someone who has a disfigurement from an accident or birth and wants a change for their image and self esteem. Too many young ladies are buying short term attention for now only to look like a freak later on. Anyone seen what Loni Anderson looks like now? EWwww.
Good point w/ loni anderson, she was @ one time considered beautiful and VERY desirable for the male populace...& she opted for 'beauty enhancing' procedures ...and now she has... aged>> as you have shared, we ALL age, looks...fade or iz that change>> Why iz change alwayz viewed as something bad/less desirable>> i have laugh lines on my face and when i remember how i came by them....i'm careful to honor them as well earned (:
you have laugh lines, Loni has Frankenstien lines.
We all change. It is a fact.
