Centenarian Beauty Pageant

I was looking at a picture of the world's oldest woman at 116 and wow! I hate to sound cruel, but she looked like a bloated fish. This gal was really hard to look at. Bear with me now. When she died, the second oldest became the oldest and gained instant notoriety for a few days until she died too.

This is going somewhere. Hold on.

Thing was, the second oldest gal at 115 looked a heck of a lot better by comparison. I mean, night and day.

So once you get into your 80s and 90s, I think you're supposed to abandon any hope of looking good, but along with it some of the things that you might do to enhance your health and quality of living. Having a post 100 year old beauty pageant might give the old gals something to aspire to, and the side effects might be that they'll be healthier. Yes, they might not be able to compete with much younger women, but anybody can look good for their age.

Once it becomes a thing, we might get some surprises. As looking good into old age becomes something to aspire to, they might get better, the state of the art advancing similar to how athletic achievements are constantly being bettered, running times etc.

There may even be a beautiful 100 year old some day. How cool would that be? Make getting older less scary for all of us.
