I totally agree!!!!Originally Posted by Melyanna
I did that smile in the mirror yesterday after posting on this topic. I am way older than dear Kate and do not have those lines. I tried. I think it's something some very fair folks have early on. My friend Squeelia had super deep lines. She used to cry about them when she was like 40.
She is such a useless shit stain on the panties of humanity~Bitter's awesome description of K.K
She looks like a normal woman her age. It's actually refreshing to see she's not another Nicole Kidman.
agreed. now the. question remains: what's her age? and not her spice girl age
A woman her age?!?!?! HELL EFFIN' NO!! Kate Winslet was born October 5, 1975!! She's only 31 years old! I'm 37 and I don't have one wrinkle--not one, even when I smile. People always guess my age around 28 or 29 years-old.
Kate Winslet is much too wrinkly for her age.
C'mon -- surely you don't think it's normal that a woman of 37 doesn't have even ONE wrinkle?How can you compare yourself, an obviously exceptionally blessed individual skin-wise, to the average woman? Just because you have perfect skin, it doesn't follow that everybody else on the planet has terrible skin just because they have normal wrinkles and lines.
Frankly, I think you should sell pictures of youself, or go into modelling -- you'd make a fortune. I can't think of one person I've ever met, and I've met thousands upon thousands, who doesn't have some wrinkles, no matter how small, by the time they are in their late teens. You should capitalize on it. Why not? Maybe the Guiness Book of World Records would be interested.
I think she's lovely, wrinkles and all. So many factors contribute to onset of wrinkles. I am 37 and I swear I was almost wrinkle free until this year, and now I've got them all around my eyes and some happening on my lips. And for the record, I take good care of my skin, stay out of the sun, don't smoke, eat very well, get good sleep and seem to have genetics on my side in terms of wrinkles. I mean, it happened overnight. I'm still reeling from it actually. And I'm trying to be graceful and accepting, and maybe even (gasp) love those lines. God knows, I knew it would happen (this growing older business) but it never seemed quite as real until now...now that I have my very own wrinkles.
I wish our society didn't worship youthfulness so much, and use it as the standard of beauty. It's so impossible -- the idealized beauty is something we can only attain (if ever) during a very short span of time in our long lives. Kate strikes me as the kind of person who couldn't care less what other people think of her laugh lines. She is way too busy living her life, having fun, enjoying her family, working at what she loves etc to let wrinkles keep her down. Or let someone's else's ideas of beauty circumscribe her behavior, how she dresses, how much weight she carries, and the way she smiles. I like that about her. Imagine not smiling to make sure you were only giving your "best" (non-wrinkly) look to the cameras or to people. And you know, the more I see of fake and plastic looking people, I have to admit that I've become more interested in and attraced to people who are interesting looking, plain looking, "ugly" looking, older people etc. Maybe "ugly" and wrinkly will be the new pretty and smooth someday soon!
Rant over. Oh, and did I mention that pics like these make me feel better about my own wrinkles!? Thanks, Kate! : )
Pacific Breeze, did the subject of 'wrinkles' touch a sore spot with you or something? Obviously so. The blatant SARCASM and personal attack on your behalf isn't very becoming from a moderator. Yeah, believe it or not, I DON'T have a wrinkle. Is that somehow upsetting to you? I didn't say I'll never get any, I'm just saying I don't have any now. It wasn't a statement towards you but somehow you managed to squeeze in a disrespectful, snarling, mocking verbal offense (as always). You want respect, but somehow miraculously don't know how to give it. If you want peace on the board, how about being an example?
Quite impressive.
I have very few wrinkles and look much younger than my age, for what it's worth. I'll post a pic, if you like. I have nothing to hide, to gain, or to lose. As I said earlier in this thread, I take credit for very little of it -- it's genes, the luck of the draw. And hey, it won't last for much longer so I am enjoying it while I can.
Immodest people have always irritated me -- I don't think it's very "pretty" when people define themselves by the way they look, particularly when it's an irrefutable fact that beauty fades. I would take issue with anybody who posted something like you did. Modesty is a lot more beautiful than wrinkle-free skin, IMO.
I gave up on the idea of getting respect from certain posters a LONG time ago. You seem to think that mods must agree constantly or refrain from posting, otherwise they are not doing their jobs. I am not attacking you so much as the idea that women, NOT men, have to adhere to insane standards of perfection or they are judged unworthy by some segments of society.
And it really saddens me when women are some of the harshest critics of women guilty of nothing other than getting older. As another poster said, the idea that women shouldn't smile just so they can look younger and less wrinkled -- well, I think it speaks for itself.

Great points, I always say to myself "wait til the little buggars get old" - that's my best revenge - knowing they'll get there and I'd love to see them talk then (I'm speaking generally here, not about one person).
There is far too much ageism in the world; a reflection of misplaced values and a disconnect with self and the important things in life.
At least she's brave enough to show the wrinkles...but i bet she'll turn to botox soon enough.
What a stupid thing to say! How is she full of shit when what she says is the truth?Besides, young girls need to see examples of confident women who don't go running to the plastic surgeon to "fix" what is perfectly natural. They're bombarded daily with unnatural standards of unattainable beauty. Kudos to Kate every time she opens her mouth to remind young (and old) impressionable twits that the female body will not remain taut, perky and flawless for all time. Suck it up and deal with it, ya hear me, you twits? Cuz that's the damn troof.
FUCK THAT!!!!
^^ Yes, ladies and gents, this is a rare occasion when my capital letters do mean I am yelling. Hell, I am shouting my fuckin ass off. Because that kind of stupid shit fucking pisses me off. THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY WRINKLES!!!! Goddammit. Your wrinkles are your history. They can reveal what kind of life you've led and how much love and laughter you've shared or the worries you've endured. So anybody who has the nerve, the audacity to ridicule anybody's wrinkles can kiss my big black ass. KISS IT, I say.
Tee hee. I sure am in rare form today.
Then you should die young.
Oh shut the fuck up. Didn't you just rave about your olive skin a few posts back?
She's full of lies. Or delusion. I haven't decided which.
I hope you don't expect to garner any respect for yourself with this post, "PrettyGirl." Because you're making yourself out to be quite the laughingstock with this mock offense. Soooooo dramatic, wouldn't you say, hmmm?
Word. I fucking hate those bitchiz. Can't you just imagine the horror when *certain posters* discover that first grey hair in their pubes?
Well-said, as always. Screw the vapid and the vain!!I gave up on the idea of getting respect from certain posters a LONG time ago. You seem to think that mods musts agree constantly or they are not doing their jobs. I am not attacking you so much as the idea that women, NOT men, have to adhere to insane standards of perfection or they are judged unworthy by some segments of society.

^ Good God, take a deep breath now..
IMHO, I think she has too many wrinkles. I'm not ridiculing anything. It's probably because I'm comparing her to older women in my family including my mother who is : A VERY WHITE PERSON WITH VERY VERY PALE SKIN WHO IS VERY EXPRESSIVE AND LAUGHS OUT LOUD ETC...but doesn't have as many wrinkles (which could also be due to the fact that KW was or is a smoker and my mother has never smoked)
Her wrinkles just reinforced my opinion that she's lying about her age because she has generally always looked older than her age ever since sense and sensibility.I guess I just neglected the fact that some ppl show age earlier than others and there's nothing wrong with that because it's still a million times better than having a frozen face.
