Looks Like a Middle-Aged Housewife


Had a brief spell as a hotty, but it's over.

Plenty of middle-aged housewives are hot. If you're over twelve years old, that is.

To me it looks like she has lost too much weight. When skinny women get older they lose that softness and look more wrinkly and tired.

Yep. They become more sinewy and masculine. She might also be a smoker or was a smoker.

That's what feminism does to you.

She is middle aged...

36 is hardly middle aged when nowadays

reply

Age is age... it's not open to fashion...

Compare a middle aged 36 year old Mulligan to a 22 year old Mulligan. By her 50s she'll be older than she is now, she won't be middle aged anymore.

reply

Half of 36 is 18. Twice 36 is 72, so I'd say 36 is reasonable to be considered middle age, ymmv.

we've got a maths genius over here!

I think she looks really cute with longer hair. When women hit a certain age, and go for the "short n' sassy" look (i.e. LOW MAINTENANCE)....it's always a bummer. Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato are too young to be downshifting to short n' sassy....usually it doesn't happen until around age 40.

But anyway, I like Carey's longer hair.

reply

Yep, long hair tends to be better. Makes a huge difference on most women.

i'd tap this middle-aged housewife, no doubt

reply

Yep.
Not so much looks wise, but she has a strong middle-aged housewife vibe of unfuckability.

reply

bangable

I thought she was pretty and cute back when she appeared on "Doctor Who", but that was 15 years ago. She's older and not aging very well, she looks haggard and older than her years, too thin and she never looks happy.

But not all actors need to be young and beautiful. Someone's got to play the middle-aged housewives, so some actor somewhere needs to look like a middle-aged housewife!
