there is nothing like a dame.

I guess I should be questioning why the un-retouched image of a 62-year-old woman looking red hot in a bikini is newsworthy, but I can't overcome my overwhelming "You GO, girl!!" reaction long enough to get there from here.

Here's Oscar winner Dame Helen Mirren, coming up on 63 and holidaying with her husband in Puglia at the southern tip of Italy on July 21st.

Sure, she's never had children and it's her full-time job to look good, but she looks good. Gives one hope . . . inspiration, even, for the next quarter-century or so, doesn't it??
