You really can be too tan

When we were in Vegas this past August, we spent part of each day in a cabana by the Bellagio pool. Every morning from opening to closing this woman was out there with her coating of oil, and her much younger, quite handsome friend. One of the people in our group, decided to strike up a conversation with, and take a picture of her. The woman is in her early 70s, and resides in Reno but spends a couple of weeks a month in Vegas.

I think she used to be the mistress of some big mobster during the original Sinatra Vegas days. What do you think?

at 5:05 PM Juggling Mother said...: eeewwww. Hasn't she heard of skin cancer?

Still, looking like that at 70 is not so bad really:-)

Here from kichele's today, but I come lurking reasonably regularly:-)

at 6:40 PM Thumper said...: All I can think is 100% genuine American Leather... But I suppose at her age you can bake till you're toasty if you want. I never would have guessed she was near my dad's age from that picture...

Here via Michele's this time :)
at 10:22 PM smizzo said...: I duuno...I think for being in her 70s, she looks pretty good. It's amazing though, because the sun is supposed to age you. She should be looking OLDER than 70 something.

I heart Vegas.

Hi, Michele sent me.
at 9:25 AM Chatty said...: Yuck, she looks like she was dipped in chocolate. Seventy?? Wow.

Michele sent me, but you know I visit all dee time! :)
at 9:50 AM The Mistress of the Dark said...: OMG for lack of anything better to say. It's gross and amazing at the same time. I mean I really wish that I look that good at 70, just not that tan, because that's just sick.
at 10:54 PM kenju said...: She does look like beef jerky! ICK!

Michele sent me.
