welcome to 45 and fabulous!

i seem to be always in front of the computer most of the day writing email, dabbling with facebook, listening to pandora and tapping on my iPhone that seems to be glued to my hand despite my occupation as a trainer. on november 30th, 2009, i've finally manifested my idea of really getting CYBER OUT THERE and officially 'gave birth' to this blog, '45 and fabulous'.

this will be a forum where i'll share my thoughts, actions, contacts and experiences about being in my mid 40's and feeling and looking better than ever. never in my life have i been more fit, more ripped, sexier and, best of all, wiser. was it just my divorce? i don't think i can give my ex that much credit! that said, i'm experiencing the magic of getting older but better...a truth not often burnished nor an ideal upheld in our youth-crazed world.

being a gym owner, i also see LOTS of other women in this stage in their lives--mothers, divorcees, cougars, MILFS, beverly hills moms...you name it.. but all of them at the prime of their lives-- i'll be sharing and featuring their own ideas, passions, secrets, tricks and tips to staying foxy in their 40s.

ever been to paris and noticed how stylishly hot their older women seemed? think lena olin, charlotte rampling... domestically, i think of women aging not just gracefully but incredibly sexily like halle berry, sarah jessica parker, cate blanchett. i'd like to see this project as a tiny nudge in the right direction of getting our society to look at women at this age group a bit differently.

stand by yourself!




stand by your man....i don't think so! jenny sanford, the smart, independent wife of that philandering, "appalachian-trail" galivanting gov, has filed for deeee-vorce! unlike elin woods who is being paid VAST sums to stand by her man, jenny is giving him the boot. spiked stilettos?!

some (mainly guys it seems) say that elin is just as much a prostitute for accepting payments to maintain the tiger marketing juggernaut. i would say that, elin, a young, broken-hearted woman just got her romantic notions of sweet marriage shattered, maybe irrevocably so; and in accepting the millions, she is staking her independence and, ultimately, laughing (let's hope!) all the way to the bank.

whatever route these spurned women take--standing or not standing by your man, take the high road, take the money (hey why not?!) and remain gloriously regal above the seemy fray. emotional health, balance and stability are paramount.

  1. My heart goes out to Elin. The level of Tigre's philandering borders on mental illness. Whore or not (and who is anyone to judge?), she earned every penny of that money in sleepless & solo nights while he was out sticking it in every available hole.
