Jane Fonda - dazzling mature beauty

Nowadays the situation becomes more complicated because we have an opportunity to delay physical signs of aging, at least the most evident of them. Active exercises help us to strengthen flabby hips and belly, moisturizing milk makes our hands and feet softer. Besides, we can’t forget plastic surgery doing miracles: baggy skin below the eyes and double chin disappear as if with a wave of a magic wand. The fact is beyond any doubt – we don’t look the way our mothers did when they were forty years old. But our ability to look young at a mature age actually turns to reality the myth that woman is as good as beautiful she looks. It’s called Jane Fonda effect.

Jane Fonda has brought healthy life-style and youthful look into fashion. Watching Hollywood stars on TV we hold our breath – they roll in luxury, favoring us with a perfect smile on their everlastingly young faces. They serve as an example of how splendid one man can look at the mature age and we start thinking that we should also look well. And soon it turns to another cultural purpose. It seizes a strong hold on our minds and causes the contradictory situation, when the distinctions on the scale of age become smoothed and obliterated. But at the same time we continue to believe, that a woman with wrinkles on her face, pigment spots on hands and gray hair looses her allure and grace, at least a part of herself.

Actually, the things shouldn’t go this way. The middle of life can be the time of a great spiritual growth, because it’s time when we look in the mirror and ask: “What have I achieved and what am going to do?”
