‘Demi Could Learn From Us!’ Lynne Spreen’s Blog Elicits Lots of Comments!
Me Quiet? You’re Kidding, Right? asked writer/blogger Lynne Spreen to read her latest blog post about Demi’s Moore’s meltdown. We wanted her to read it here because this column elicited SO MANY comments everywhere it appeared.
Demi, take it from those of us who know, turning 50 isn’t the end of your world but if you don’t figure out how to age with more grace, your 3 daughters won’t, either.
And that’s the truth!

Reinvention at Age 70? Author Madeline Sharples Did Just That!
I studied journalism in high school and college and wrote for the high school newspaper, but I started to fulfill my dream to work as a creative writer and journalist late in life. My memoir, Leaving the Hall Light On: A Mother’s Memoir of Living with Her Son’s Bipolar Disorder and Surviving His Suicide, was released byLucky Press LLC in 2011. I also co-authored Blue-Collar Women: Trailblazing Women Take on Men-Only Jobs (New Horizon Press, 1994). I co-edited the poetry anthology, The Great American Poetry Show, Volumes 1 and 2, and I wrote the poems for two photography books, The Emerging Goddess and Intimacy (Paul Blieden, photographer). My poems have appeared online and in print magazines. My articles appear regularly in the Huffington Post, Naturally Savvy, and PsychAlive. I also post at my own blogs, Choices and Red Room.

Cindy Joseph: Boomer ‘Ford Agency’ Model & her Booming Business
Me Quiet, You’re Kidding, Right? felt an instant kinship to Cindy Joseph, a Boomer woman also ‘testy’ about this ‘ANTI-Aging’ pablum the media, magazines and Madison Ave. has fed us for the last decade, perhaps to satisfy their own craving for profits.
Work harder to find the Boomer demographic’s ‘sweetspot.’ Cindy Joseph has. She stopped dying her hair about a decade ago; her modeling career took off soon after. In this video, she encourages us all to embrace ‘PRO-aging’ — not a dirty phrase. About her looks and focus at age 59, Cindy says “I’m happy with it. You want it, I’ll sell it to you!”
Her new cosmetic line BOOM speaks to us. Finally someone is listening to our demographic, which just so happens to be the largest and wealthiest. I hope women of all ages rally around this line of cosmetics that’s PRO aging and aimed at women of all ages. At every age, the aim is not to chase youth, the aim is to feel great at the age you’re living in right now.
Ladies & gentlemen, we are ALL growing older, that is, if we’re lucky.

Mrs. Hughes Adapts to Change…kinda!
I discovered Mrs. Hughes on YouTube & asked her to share a bit for MeQuiet?You’re Kidding, Right? She sent this URL to my Facebook message center & suggested I cut/paste copy from her website.
Gladly Mrs. Hughes & thank you!
.…The first time you see Mrs. Hughes you might think, “She could be my neighbor.” She’s just about the last person you’d expect to see in a night club, so the fact that she is performing in one might startle you at first.
Carol Hughes began her comedy career when she was forty. “Years ago I heard Merv Griffin interview Phyllis Diller, and she said she started doing comedy when she was thirty-nine. I remember saying to myself, ‘I could do that.’
“Later, I met comedienne Candy Carr at Weight Watchers and she said ‘Write five funny minutes and go to the Improv.’ I already had five funny minutes, so I went. It was terrific! I remember the MC saying, ‘Go for it Mama! You’re funny!’ I got a huge ovation and I was hooked.”
