Hummmm, I have a pic of me to post of a 60 year old butch body, but I might get into trouble with it. Oh, and it was taken at age 58 1/2. Actually, it was taken after I got really tired of how all of the butch calendar "months" I kept seeing were of young butches. Like everyone else, I have things about me that I don't think are that great, but overall, this body has done me proud over 60 years! But my FB friends have seen my aging butch skin shots.

Whoops- have to add that I do have some gray hair, but it kind of blends in with the rest of my hair- kind of a multi-mix of dirty blonde, light brown, chamgaigne (someone told me that) and more blond- I don't think I am a blond really). Damn, I just don't have silver or gray hair genes, I guess- neither of my parents were either even in their 70's and 80's. But, I wish I did have the wonderful salt & pepper hair that many butches have. Looks so great in so many hair styles plus it is thicker.

I'm silver, it's just that I usually wear a ball cap.
I think it's really important that all ages of bodies are celebrated!

See, no silver... phooey! Now, my dog, however is getting gray around the muzzle.

UGH... my hair goes way curley sometimes.

I started going silver in my early 30's, at 50, I am pretty much more salt than pepper, I'm good with it, I don't think I have the ability to post a pic though. Honoring each and everyone of us as we age though is a cool thing, Thanks Miss Tia.

Very handsome-looking butch, indeed!

That's how I was. Just recently I realized that I could no longer say I was prematurely gray.

Now that I am haircut overdue by four days, I can see why my barber says I have gone from 10-50% silver in the last five years. Years 1-4 the stress-o-meter was off the hook. But this last year it should be going back!

I must just be getting "distinguished".

Distinguished is good! It's when your Barber suggests it's time you dye your hair, that's when you need to start worrying, lol!

1QuirkyKiwi · 11-04-2011, 07:37 AM

I confess to going grey at 23 - it's genetic on the French/Italian side of the family (thanks Grandad! LOL! The grey distinguished look worked for you, it's not so great for me, lol!) I used true Henna to hide my silver highlights until May of this year........The Crazy Bright Orange look is NOT a good one, thanks to being (NOW) 50% grey! LOL!

I'm dying my grey hair with a herbal hair dye that is closer to my natural colour - the Henna over the years gave me a lovely red - I'm sad to lose that. I've just gone two months wihout dying my grey........EEEEEEK! So, I'm sitting here with covering my silver highlights........only 20 minutes to go and I can stop looking like I've been mud wrestling, lol!

i know what you mean about the crazy bright orange...mine did the same thing last year...i looked like a Weasley or Ronald McDonald...LOL i have to have mine done by my stylist who has to add blue to cancel the red and she still has to tone it down afterward...

LOL! In my quest to counteract the Crazt Bright Orange look, I tried coffee........THAT was quite possibly the WORST thing I could have done! ........I could not get rid of the coffee smell - it linguered for days! LOL! Even after washing my hair a few days after dying it (most of the coffee staining washed out), I smelt like I'd fallen in a vat of the stuff, lol! I could hear people say: "Can you smell coffee?" I wasn't anywhere near a coffee shop, lol!

I've also tried the Indigo, but, that was too dark for my complexion and looked odd at the roots. I had to sit for fot two days with olive oil on my hair before washing - that washed a lot of the Indigo out, thankfully, lol!
