Lines of Beauty: the blog for women that’s all about aging with grace

By Ted Page, Captains of Industry

Getting older is viewed by a lot of people as a kind of personal rotting, something that has to be cured with plastic surgery. Lying about age is also a given. So, as a result, we have a lot of 50 year old people who say they are 40, with facial skin lifted and tucked in a way that makes it look like they’re in a wind tunnel. This self-disfigurement is tragic and unnecessary. Anyone who wants to market to this age group should check out  the blog Lines of Beauty, by my good friend Louise Fernandez.  Louise is 50. She also happens to be tall and lovely, a competitive swimmer (she rocks the world in her age group), and the founder of a business that makes imaginative knitted products and clothing.  Louise—and her readers—represent the   alternative by basically saying “screw you” to the cosmetic surgery crowd,  fully embracing the fact that they’re getting older. Louise goes one step further; she understands that she earned the lines on her face. She’s proud of them. The lines are marks of wisdom and grace that enhance her beauty. I guarantee you that when Louise is 60, 70, or 95, she will still be beautiful, as will any person who loves life and is unafraid of time.
