I want to show that women can love fashion like I do and have a normal job and enjoy taking care of themselves and their families. Even when cosmetics companies use women of a certain age in their advertising, like Sharon...
...What does it feel like to be surrounded by all those young models? Well, it's amusing to be a model when you're 50, let's face it!

But as vehicles got faster and larger and grew tail fins, efficiency plummeted. Congress didn't set fuel standards until after the oil embargo of 1973. By 1985, efficiency had improved dramatically, but momentum slowed as the government let standards stagnate. President Barack Obama's support for raising fuel efficiency to 35 m.p.g. by 2020--a move that could save 2 million bbl. of oil a day--has environmentalists...
