    The operative word in Mr. Pace's declaration is "young." For too many, youth is beauty and beauty is youth. Doubt this? Then visit a plastic surgeon. Ask him how many of his clients want to look older.

    I once read an article about the "Girls Gone Wild" guy. He said that girls between 18 and 25 have that certain je ne sais quoi. I pity the ass who can't see sexy as something other than a high, tight ass. I'm not suggesting that Mr. Pace is such a person and I do applaud him for not corralling women by clothing.

    I saw a woman in a line a couple days back. She had these lovely lines in her face. Alas, not all wrinkles are equal, but for that older lass, they punctuated her beauty.
