HNT: Bodies

All we've ever wanted
Is to look good naked
Hope that someone can take it
God save me rejection
From my reflection,
I want perfection


Robbie Williams 'Bodies'



As I reached down to put something in my bag, I heard it.

The group of young lads at the table behind me had obviously been there since the party started and were at that stage where they mutter to each other about the other guests in a stage whisper that is obvious to the more sober eavesdropper.

He nudged his mate and shrugged with his arm in my direction and repeated his first comment:

"If she was 20 years younger, I'd do her, wouldn't you?"


If I'd been quicker, I would have replied that I wouldn't have done either of them... now or 20 years ago.

But, instead, I just smiled to myself and took the remark in the spirit with which I think it was intended and enjoyed the compliment.

With apologies to my non-mousers for my senior moment. Click here.

"If she was 20 years younger" What wrong with them. Just confirms my view that the youth of today are thick and don't appreciate what they have in front of them.

Turning a head whether 20 years ago or now always feels nice. You are lovely!!

Actually, an even better response to those yobbos would have been: "You couldn't have have handed me 20 years ago, and you damned sure couldn't handle me now."

Besides, you're better off. If you did them now, you'd have to burp them when you were done. ;-)

As to your pic...Pure hotness..

Silly boys, lol. I imagine had you made that remark, their reactions would have been priceless. Glad you enjoyed some part of the moment anyway though.

Lovely picture! You look great. Happy HNT!

The ignorance of the young! How little they know of the sexy, beautiful woman they spoke of. And what cheek of them to think you'd actually be wanting them! LOL

Happy HNT!

Vixen said...

Love the pic. And that quote is *awesome*!

My Friend,
From where I sit, you have Archived Perfection! (physically)
I understand his sentiment, but he needs to be educated in Fine Ladies. Glad you will allow someone else to educate him.

Stunning body of yours and he says "20 years younger"? He obviously doesn't know that women are just like wine...they get better as they age. ;) HHNT!

Happy HNT!

Buncha dumbasses.

And once again, you've written about something that I just recently touched on. Why is 20-something synonymous with "attractive", while 40-something is a fetish?

Grrr.

Good afternoon Joanna,

"I just smiled to myself and took the remark in the spirit with which I think it was intended and enjoyed the compliment" Wisdom and beauty, they're quite a combination!

Sometimes it's just embarrassing to be a male...

Glad you could take the compliment in the right spirit, though those lads seem oafish to me. In my book, any woman who is attractive and interesting in her mid-40s is far more interesting than she was 20 years before. You look great. HHNT

You look AMAZING. I'm SURE those brats couldn't have handled you if you were twenty years younger - and I bet you've learnt a thing or two since then, so you'd chew them both to a pulp and spit them out.

You're completely gorgeous - you rock my (blogo) world in this hnt!

Elle said...

Well, if I look at that pic, wow... I don't see why anyone would need you to be any younger OR older. You look sexy, period.

Anonymous said...

I'd do you. ;-)

PS: nothing for us non-mousers this week? Roll over, darling. x

IF you were 20 yrs younger? Oh, the folly of youth, you look fantastic NOW!

Happy (late) HNT!
