A lens for Boomer Babes!
Baby Boomers (technically, those born between 1946 and 1962) make up, at almost 80 million, the largest generational demographic today. And, among Boomers, women not only outnumber men but also influence as much as 80% of household purchase decisions, from food and finance to travel and technology.

I value women over 40
by 60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS)
As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't c are what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game , she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting. Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her. Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal For every stunning, smart, well- coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?', here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!
Boomer Babe Tina Sizzles at the Grammys
Turner was given a generous three-song spotlight on Sunday's Grammy Awards, introduced by current hit maker Beyonce, who joined her for Proud Mary. Two songs were central to Turner's 1980s comeback, What's Love Got to Do With It and Better Be Good to Me.
Her stage presence brought to mind James Brown in his later years several steps slower, but capable of moves suggesting a famously energetic routine. And the high heels and skintight, low-cut outfit also necessitated some careful choreography and gentler steps.

What a great lens. 911 brought fear and mistrust to our lives. One wonders how to bring back love and trust. By just opening our eyes we will notice however that Love Actually is All Around. Posted February 17, 2008 |

Hey, great site. I just worked up a new lens but this looks far better. I just got tired of seeing everything pitched to kids who could be our grandchildren. What the hell do they know? Posted July 12, 2007 |

The Future for Boomer Babes
The authors emphasized that this cohort of women may end up worse off than their predecessors. Baby boomer women spend more, acquire more debt and are less likely to have traditional pensions, spousal benefits, or retiree health coverage than the previous generation of women, the study found. It also said policy makers have long ignored the needs of women approaching retirement with insufficient resources.
"Baby boomer women are in trouble," writes Paul Hodge, director of the Harvard Generations Policy Program. "Unlike any other time in our nation's history, unless there are dramatic policy shifts, baby boomer women, most particularly minority women, will find their elder years to be a 'never ending' struggle. After selflessly caring for their children and aging parents, a significant number of our country's 40 million plus boomer women will not be able to afford to retire, will fall below the poverty line and experience financial insecurity and poorer health in their later years with limited aid from traditional safety nets."
