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
2008
At age 68, Tina Turner kept those fabled legs largely covered by a silver pantsuit. But she proved she could still shake 'em and the metallic outfit didn't cover everything.
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.

The Future for Boomer Babes
As baby boomer women age, their prospects for later-in-life security become increasingly dim, reported a study released May 24 by the Harvard Generations Policy Program and the Global Generations Policy Institute, both based in Boston.
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."

A Few of My Favorite Chick Flicks
I can watch these more than once!
The term chick flick is slang for a movie that appeals mainly to women or young girls, either by design or popular consensus. While the term is relatively new - dating back to that bumper crop of women's movies in the 1980s and 90s that included classics like Beaches, Pretty Woman and Ghost - the concept of movies designed to appeal specifically to women has existed since the early days of cinema and has been known by other colloquial terms, including "women's pictures".
One key element of chick flicks is a respectable female lead struggling with a romantic predicament. Another prevalent theme centers around the close relationships among female friends. Due to the focus on romance or relationships, chick flicks are typically categorized as romances or romantic comedies.
Several chick flicks have been patterned after the story of Cinderella or other fairy tales (e.g. The Holiday, The Princess Diaries, A Cinderella Story, Ever After, Pretty Woman and Roman Holiday); a large number are adapted from popular novels and literary classics.
