One of the most interesting things I’ve seen in a long time.

Yes, there is sadness in the images, yet I see them as pictures of triumph. These women have survived, even thrived and are doing as good as any of us, no matter what we do, could likely hope to do in the latter years of life. There is sadness in all of life – even the happiest parts.

Such respect, beauty, power and honesty here. I really appreciate the women pictured, their stories and Marie Baronnet for the collaborative creative work they have done together. As an older woman myself I love their gutsy way of relating to their bodies. They may be aging but they are still sexy dames. As a photographer I love the intimate, close-up POV and obvious comfort between photographer and subjects. There is nothing prurient about this project; it really is a jewel.

Yea that is a pretty quirky set of images………I like that hint of almost playful embarrassment almost verging on shyness in some of the images.
Brings to mind Nikos Kazantzakis’s Zorba the Greek the book which was a lot more tongue in cheek than the movie

I am sure Jim is aware that there are sadder things ………….making Jim a favorite punching bag is another sad thing

Jim
Yes, of course, there is sadness here, as there is everywhere. But there are way sadder things, lives not lived, lives lived as a lie, lives not realized.

Here, besides sadness is also beauty, passion, strength, “fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke”.
I find this essay uplifting.

There are WAY sadder things.

I am an enormous fan of this kind of collaborative work where the subject is given a literal (and figurative) voice in the outcome. Thoughtful process and work, beautiful and not sad in the least. Thanks for this.

Grrrrrrrrrrl Power!

Wow, hadnt seen anything about Kitten Natividad in a long time…actually, didnt even know she was alive….

supervixen’s (yep, Meyers) all!..

enjoyed the mixing of their stories (captions) with the portraits and of course great to see portraits and nudes of women who are not in their 20′s/30′s and on full display and unafraid…that aspect is totally refreshing and great to see a story on older woman that is not about misery but about longevity and empowerment…

i did get bored of the pin-up girl schtick after a while, though, and would have loved to see these portraits with portraits of them (just as powerful and filled with their radiant personalities) in everyday drag or life…i’m not suggesting like a cinema verite expose, but just offering us other aspects to themselves besides their voluptuous and charismatic ‘show girl’ personalities and bodies…

but, hell, give me a woman is unapologetic about her body and self, regardless of age, and i’m hooked…

cheers pussycats, kill kill kill ;)
