Hi, sistahs! (and fellas—I know you’re out there, too!)

I was just flipping (and swooning) through the steamy Porn for Women of a Certain Age slideshow on More.com, and I was reminded just how much I love that mag. It’s so marvelous and smart—the way it spotlights chicas who are doing incredible things, regardless of their age.

You know, actually, I feel lucky that throughout my life, I’ve always been surrounded by strong, glamorous older women. I had lots of wonderful aunties who set a damn fine example for me that getting older wasn’t anything to fear.

And now—because I was raised with that perspective—I run into fabulous mature women all over the place in the media, the arts, and everyday life—not just in the Cambridge Women’s Pornography Cooperative. I’m talking about ladies like Judy Dench, Helen Mirren, Oprah, Ruby Dee, Maya Angelou. They’re all examples of women who transcend age. I have to say I’ve also always loved journalist Linda Ellerbee. Growing up, I remember thinking, “I get her. I may not understand everything she’s talking about, but I get her and her personality.” She’s just so strong, smart, and tenacious. A great role model for girlfriends of all ages.

As the wise man says, “I just love the sparkle the silver puts in your hair!”

Know any sexy, strong women of a certain age? Holla back here and tell me all about ‘em!
