If thirty is the "new twenty" is sixty the new fifty?
and is twenty the new ten? Well that would explain a lot.

3. I hope so, but twenty being ten, may bring some legalities into fray...

6. the transition is still taking place
It seems like there are vast differences in the 45+ group. Some of them act like relics while others look and act younger ...but I do believe aging is different than it was.

10. I say
it's a ratio rather than a difference, because Mrs. Squeech believes that 60 is the new 40.

But it depends. According to my knees, 52 is the same old 52, if not more so.

On the other other hand, how the hell should I know? I've never been 52 before, so I don't have a basis for comparison.

11. I think 35 is the new 29.
And that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

:)

13. I think it is.
Looking at a lot of 60 year olds now and looking at them years ago, there is a big difference in their attitudes, looks, and their health. And some 20 year olds do, in fact, act 10, so yeah, it makes sense.

17. Wait; is brown still the new black,
or am I still drifting around under a fashion assumption that ended ages ago?
