You Too Could Have A Body Like This (Not you Span!)





The photographs of a nearly 63 years old Helen Mirren in the papers this week managed to serve two groups of people at one time. Firstly all those readers with a MILF complex could be heard breathing unusually heavily in W.H Smith as they read their copies of the Sun concealed within Motor Cycle Weekly and secondly all of those feministas such as Joan Smith and aged celebs such as Joan Collins could wave their knickers in their air celebrating the sight of a woman old enough to be a great grandmother in a bikini.

Of course she looks great and of course it's good that women of a certain age shouldn't be embarrassed by their bodies but hold on a sec. Dame Helen Mirren isn't a typical working mother, she isn't a typical sixty three year old either - she's an actress who has a personal trainer and who does nearly two hundred ab crunches a day. I'm quite sure there are an awful lot of women out there of all ages who would like the comparatively easy lifestyle that acting brings, the home in L.A and the personal trainer.

Tell you what though, that new Honda CBR600RR on page 7 looks great.

Oi! I have a friend with a Honda CBR600 but he prefers his Ducati! (grrrrrrrrrrr)

She really does look good doesn't she...I had noticed the picture in the press her whilst I was looking for the Sudoku page (whistle)

I'll bet she's also a non-smoker who hasn't had any children either.

(I'm glad someone else has encountered the writing of Joan Smith. She does a column (although as a feminist she probably won't use that term) in The Independent on Sunday which I usually buy.)

Anyway, back to Helen Mirren. Yes, for 63 she looks great and she deserves to if she has the self discipline to do 200 ab cruches a day.
