Good Food - 1, Health Food - 0
 

I think that the first one enjoys the colon cleaning a little too much.

Gillian McKeith is a joke figure here nowadays. Thankfully.

I'm not so sure that photo of Nigella Lawson is recent...she just seems way too young.

Here's one of her dated this year. She still looks fantastic, though.

I'm also 51. And I look awesomely awesome.

Misplaced decimal point ?

Your complexion is a little ashen.

I'm willing to suffer a bit for beauty

Have you ever seen the size of Nigella's arse??? She is beautiful though, and I love her cooking. Her chocolate cheesecake recipe is fantastic!

I actually have a rather svelt ass so I won't be competing with her on that score.

age is relative. the brunette will live into her 90's the blonde will be dead in 5 years

Cause of death?
Magic 8 Ball

Shouldn't this be in the death poodle thread?

What, lodged in the throat?

If you put blonde hair and blue eyes on this pic you'd have Jennifer Coolidge. You know...Stifflers Mom?

oooo - Nigella is beautiful. Richlevy has a thing for her IIRC.

I don't care if her arse is big. She's the one I would follow home. (And have a slice of chocolate cheesecake and a coffee with) :)


all those "health" people just seem scared of death if you ask me. It happens. Even to really, really healthy people.

I know this one guy who was a health nut and he ate and drank all the right stuff and did meditation and then JOGGED (YUCK!) every day.


He was out jogging one day and got hit and killed by a car. It happens.

Remember Jim Fixx?

... and then...

The woman on the left seems really ragged.

I dunno...I smoked for 34 years (quit 2 years ago) and drank like a fish for a handful of them (sober 11 years). Since quitting smoking, I've begun eating healthy, organic and natural, and taken up running and lifting weights.

This webcam shot was taken 1 month before my 51st birthday (in Aug). Do I look older or younger than 51?

Younger for sure. Nice to see you Stormie.

Yeah...I tink their looks are a basic reflection of their inner beauty. Nigella seems like a nice lass. Not-Dr Gillian McKeith is a witch.

Oops: missed Stormie's post there.

You look younger than 51. At a guess I'd have said somewhat on the younger side of my contemporary. Mid to late 30s.

Stormie - you look way younger than 51 (not that 51 is old - :D


you look wonderful. I think smoking is probably the most ageing thing around - next to drinking and being bulimic. If you quit though, you can regenerate. At least that's what I tell myself about my liver. :D

Good food, attitude and genes.
Gillian McKeith is a fanatic. She is also a witch as Dana says. And a coward and a whiner, as we saw on last year's I'm A Celebrity Get me Out of Here.

Nigella eats well. But probably has the same attitude to fast food as Gillian, just more puzzled and less strident.

Her genes have meant she's lucked out on the skin front, but if she carries on smoking she'll have to be luckier still to avoid the effects. If she was Gillian's weight it would show much more. Luckily, she doesn't want to be, and good for her.

Here is her Dad. Nigel Lawson (then Chancellor of the Exchequer) in the blue tie.

Stormy, well done on the life changes.
I have to quit drinking next year then I guess.
You look great.

I shocked someone the other day by referring to something that happened when I was 35. "But... how old are you then?" Bless her - she thought I was her age, and she is seven years younger than me. Flatterer. I have fat to smooth out the lines on my face of course. Fat being at least as unhealthy as smoking, sadly.

Ah, Bri.
Soz and all that, but lungs can recover. The liver can't, not fully.
We've got the most destructive habit that's still legal :(

OMG, I thought i was looking at a picture of the mother of one of my boys mates. She's sort of a friend in that we travel in the same circles locally and are often at the same functions and do's. Anyway, she's just over 40, but you look better than she does on a normal day.

One of the biggest factors of the appearance of aging is the effect of sun exposure on the skin. Probably worse than smoking for causing premature aging. I've seen seniors in queensland whose arms look like crocodile skin.

I'm too lazy to check, but is McKeith from the US? Maybe California? Lots of sun, yah?

Nigella is from England. She's probably had ten hours of direct sunlight in her whole life. Bit of an unfair advantage in this regard. ;)

Hmm...Think she's Scottish. *wikis*

Yeah. Born and raised in Scotland, but then moved to the States in the 90s.

Ah. Scottish. That explains everything!

If it's not Scottish it's shite!

aye, and then shrivelled oop in tha sun.

Remember, Bri, I live here :)
I simply meant she'll have experienced a fair bit of rain and not much sunshine as she grew up!

I can definitely see that. I think Jennifer Coolidge is about the same age, too. She's hilarious, why don't they put her in more movies?

@Stormie, I would guess you were in your 30s in that pic.

I used to work with a woman who was about 50 who looked worse off than the Gillian person on the left. She did spend a lot of time in the sun.

Oh, sweetie! I know you live there! I'm jealous!!!

I was just trying to be funneh. I was quoting a Michael Myers (from Sat. Night Live) gag where the line "If it's not Scottish it's SHITE!" features.

I didn't mean any disrespect, girl.

:blush:

I got that reference!

I really did!

*skips*

:P



(every so often my early appreciation for the odd American fayre that was on offer when late night Channel 4 viewing came in, proves a boon :p)

It's educational!!

Edumacashional, spell it proper like.
