It's both encouraging and a bit spooky that at 54 Christie Brinkley can still evoke such a visceral hornball reaction. No doubt she's had some work here or there, but it's been subtle. Gives me hope that one needn't necessarily "settle" for someone one's own age when in middle age, that it still might be in large part an unqualified physical attraction. If more AARP members stay this well-preserved I suspect we'll see a lot more Ashton Kutchers mauled by cougars, so to speak.

Enoch: Resist.

Is there something about gadgets that magically convinces some fraction of the population that it's now all right to be crude in ways that are neither witty nor enlightening?

Do you have any idea how many women are fans of Boing Boing Gadgets? For that matter, are you aware that a lot of men who are fans of Boing Boing Gadgets find that kind of thoughtless lewd remark seriously offputting?

Lots. Trust me on this one.

Thanks, Teresa. I see enough of this on Gizmodo, the other gadget blog that is excellent save for its skin-crawlingly strong focus on female bodies.

You're welcome, Gloria.

I do find Christie Brinkley's agelessness interesting. Either she's got a picture hidden in her attic, or she's got a great set of genes.

As excited as she seems, I worry about the health of the DDR pad after those heels have been across it.

Also, the linked article is all about marital infidelity and has nothing to do with gadgets. Well-kept, well-preserved, or well-augmented as she is, I was disappointed in lack of gadgetry. Then again, with the pace of medical technology, we may start seeing celebrities with bionic enhancements in the next 10 to 20 years.

The zooming in series of pictures gag never gets old for me. I laugh every damn time.
