It's produced (and copyrighted) by a group out of Massachusetts, Deana's Fund. So I can't mess around with the character.<BR/><BR/>Tiv: You're right--acting ability helps, but only so far. I still need to make sure that I don't "look" too old. Uggh. Believe it or not, I'm using anti-wrinkle cream every night. It's so unlike me to be this vain--BLECH!The Quoiblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632853309100258560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326557935285065813.post-83033697854884309052007-09-07T02:46:00.000-04:002007-09-07T02:46:00.000-04:00If you behave and feel young and can truly relate ...If you behave and feel young and can truly relate to the youngsters, find a friendly and trustful relationship with them, you don't need to look young.<BR/>You don't have to pretend you're one of them.<BR/>It must be difficult to avoid becoming a sort of 'I'm older so I know better' for it's the best way to turn teenagers away :)<BR/><BR/>If you do not deny that you are older (keep the wrinkles and gray hairs to come...) PLUS you are a reliable and 'useful' person with your acting and help, you do your job honestly... I think those teenagers would even like you the better.SzélsőFahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600289147447182465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326557935285065813.post-63182349982183145872007-09-06T22:50:00.000-04:002007-09-06T22:50:00.000-04:00Actually, ybonesy's idea of a mother is interestin...Actually, ybonesy's idea of a mother is interesting, since a lot of girls abused in relationships have mothers that are/were as well. But the other thing I was thinking was that your acting ability should be able to overcome aging issues, no? I remember when older, really much older actresses used to get away playing much younger parts. That's changed, with practically pre-teen models pretending to be grown women. Also, if you're wearing a lot of make-up, it can be viewed as simply exaggeratedly "theatrical" or there because of the "bruising." Although I also know exactly what you mean about looking older, especially around adolescents with their unlined, glowing baby skin.xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866348942612559536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326557935285065813.post-12127149621169697022007-09-06T13:08:00.000-04:002007-09-06T13:08:00.000-04:00Well, you have a good reason for willing yourself ...Well, you have a good reason for willing yourself to look young. The rest of us just hate growing older. I remember when the youngish grocery check-out guy called me "Maam." That was in my late-30s. Then it was an anomoly; now it's standard. Ugh. <BR/><BR/>Hey, but maybe you can take on a different character for your one-woman act. Be a teacher or a mother. Grow into this next persona.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
