A Fairy Tale

Be Careful What You Wish For!

A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 40th wedding
anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny,
yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table. She said, “For being such
an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all
this time, I will grant you each a wish.” The wife answered, “Oh,
my wish is to travel around the world with my darling husband!” The fairy
waved her magic wand and – poof! – two tickets for the Queen Mary II
appeared in the wife’s hands. The husband thought for a moment and said: “Well, this
is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come
again. I’m sorry, my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years
younger than me.” The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but,
a wish is a wish.

So, the fairy waved her magic wand and poof!…the husband became 92 years old.

The moral of this story: Men who are ungrateful husbands should
remember fairies are female…..

How BoomerBabes can wear black!

As promised in my recent Party Wear article, here are additional Tips and Tricks for BoomerBabes to wear black more successfully, day or evening, year round.

If you must wear black, do so in the most flattering way to you now, not as you wore it in the past. Wearing black with a mature complexion is a challenge, as it is aging and harsh to the pretty BoomerBabe face.

The ideal way to wear black as a BoomerBabe is to wear something in your "selected" color (see Party Wear article) between your face and the black of your outfit. Or if you feel comfortable exposing your skin in the neck, shoulder and chest area, that is another way to put distance between your face and a black neckline.

If you yearn to keep wearing black, here are some more Tips and Tricks to help pull it off:
