Neck and neck...and more neck!


Just as a woman’s shoes reveal her financial situation, her neck tells her true age. So I was shocked the other day to look in a mirror and see that my neck had aged faster than the rest of my body.

I have more chins than Chinatown. My throat alone could make enough giblet gravy to feed all of Bryan at Thanksgiving. And I could make a medium sized lampshade from the excess skin. I think you get the picture.

My. Neck. Is. Old! How did this happen? When did this happen? More importantly, what can I do about it?

Plastic surgery is out. Too painful as well as too expensive. It costs an arm and a leg, which, by the way, are still lookin’ good! I don’t want to be tradin’ away parts of me that still are fairly attractive.

I could, I guess, wear turtlenecks all year long, but then again it gets pretty hot here in Texas during the summer. Sometimes during the winter too.

I thought about scarves at the neck, but then I remembered how silly Candice Bergman looked doing that. It’s one thing to get old and another to get ridiculous!

The answer to my dilemma came walking into class Thursday.


With a higher neckline and a gender switch, I think Don's T-shirt could be the answer to my neck problem!



In fact, the answer to several problems!

  1. If I ever got a face lift, the doc would have to start at the knees and pull UP...then guess what I'd be wearing for earrings?
    Talk about a man with self assurance. No body image problems there!

  4. Just embrace it all!! I know I hate soooo many things too,(yes, very vain)but I am trying to think just get healthy. Because at this name of the game healthy will hopefully be the pay off.

  6. I should have known! You are getting up early and going down to the pool to ogle the body-building men! Nice ass Don has!

    Girl, you don't worry about your neck! Yous a beautiful woman! I inherited this lovely double chin which I have even when I'm skinny. I think I can remember that far back. Just gotta live with it cause it ain't going nowhere!

  7. That's hilarious! I had the female version of the shirt when I was in my twenties. I've never seen the male version though. Too funny!
