...woman appears with--yikes!--all her wrinkles in living color. The camera pulls back, and-- double yikes!--she's naked. Next, a grinning full-figured woman with silver-streaked hair. Then comes an age-spotted shoulder. Finally, a long-legged beauty with cropped gray hair and--egads!--a lined neck and a furrowed brow poses in the buff, save for a pair of dangling earrings and a cuff bracelet...
