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.

Hmm. Just noticed that all these gals are American. Another reason for the world to hate us. [doctorremulac3, Dec 08 2015]
This gal looks ok.

I misread this as Centenarian Beauty Pregnant. That would be a very scary pageant. |
|
| |
What did you think it said? Centurion beauty pageant? Not
that there would be anything wrong with it but I'm assuming
that would cater mostly to the non heterosexual among us. |
|
| |
Nope. Centenarian beauty pageant. We could skip the
swimsuit portion of the contest, but being
presentable past 100 should be applauded I think. |

We must stop fighting aging, all old people I know that keep their vitality is because their minds are busy learning, doing stuff, and often working. I don't see how (even more) promotion of physical beauty will help us to face our years. |

Mostly for the physical benefits that come along with
trying
to look good. You can't look good just by makeup and
plastic
surgery when you're 100 years old, these women would
have to be athletes with great knowledge of nutritional
science and probably a pretty stout psychological makeup
as well. |
|
| |
I agree there's no reason to celebrate young people who
happen to be born beautiful, but for somebody to look
good
past 100 would be pretty inspiring and I'm guessing no
easy
task. |
|
| |
This isn't promotion of beauty, it's promotion of old
beauty. |
|
| |
In space no one can hear you wrinkle. |
|
| |
Not expecting any buns for this, just thought it was
an interesting idea. |

There's the problem right there: "help us to face
our years". Ageing is a horrible, cruel,
debilitating, de-dedignifying disease that is, so far,
100% fatal. It is not something to be faced, it is
something to be cured. |
|

In the past 50 years, life expectancies for AIDS
have increased by a factor of 5 or 10. Life
expectancies for most cancers have doubled,
tripled or more. Survival rates for many illnesses
have risen towards 100%. Yet life expectancy for
ageing has only increased a few percent, and the
cure rate remains 0%. This is unacceptable. It is
the elephant in the room, and it is grey and
wrinkly. |
