Old Ladies and Pink

I don't know if it's an old lady thing, or if it's just an old lady of Ballarat thing, but today at work about a quarter of the people I spoke to were little old ladies wearing pink ... and all of them had moustaches!

Ok, admittedly some of the other old ladies I spoke to also had moustaches.

But every single old lady wearing pink today had a moustache. A couple even had a very light beard.

That right there is reason enough to fear old age.

What woman wants to turn into a mustachioed, and quite possibly beard, woman? With all of the old age related ailments plaguing the elderly, the moustache and possible beard just seems a little much.

Just because a woman is old doesn't mean that she has lost her vanity!

You'd think that Mother Nature or God or whoever would know this ... and as nature can easily show us, vanity is a natural part of life for any animal.

But instead women get to look forward to turning into mustachioed, possibly bearded, scabby (a couple of the oldies I spoke to today had scabs) old ladies who will most likely always wear pink.
