Sloughs and furrows

It’s worse than I thought. Shirley Temple is 79 not 71. (See below.)

But, then, Joan Collins must be in her 70s and if ever there was a woman who put up two fingers (signifying both victory and up yours) then JC is it. Hallowed be the ground she sashays on. How does she do it? Some will say with surgery. No doubt that has helped keep in check the sloughs and furrows of outrageous time on her face and body, but I rather think much has to do with her spirit.

Although, just to be a little cynical, I do think fat-bottomed bank accounts help a lot: the masseur, the personal trainer, top-of-the-range hairdresser, couture clothes and adulation.

Adulation must help a helluva lot.
