The new Sexy....

Had a realization this morning as I watched a Depends commercial.  Sexy is taking on a whole new meaning.  Baby boomers are a huge part of the population and marketers are zeroing in on us.  Now they are trying to convince us that wearing adult diapers can be "sexy".  They have now made Depends in colors and more streamlined.  It showed a woman of age, walking down the sidewalk, just looking "marvelous".  It almost made you wish you wet your pants to wear them.  It seems like everything is taking on a sexual undertone.  There is a toilet paper that is suppose to make you feel sexy and ready to "switch" things up.  It appears that there is big business in bowel movement too.  Like the laxative that makes you break out in dance with, "I feel good...dodododo".  Don't get me started on that little blue pill for men that they advertise the heck out of.  I have even seen a commercial for a male enhancement thing.
The Doctor shows that they have on TV now are all obsessed with bowel movement.  I now know what Oprah's poop looks like and how often she goes.  Information I really didn't need to know.  A friend of mine told me that the Doctors had a show talking about sagging (down there).  I can't take it anymore.  If I find out one more disgusting thing, I'm gonna blow.  How did our parents and grandparents get through this growing old thing?  I don't remember my Mom obsessing about it.  I believe it is because of the media and how they exploit it.  Can't we all just grow old gracefully...I doubt very much that an 80 yr. old woman is worried about whether her Depends are sexy or not.  I suppose maybe I will sing a different tune when I'm 80.  As a society, I really think we are too obsessed with sex.  If you think about it, most everything has sex in it.  People are getting rich off of our insecurities about growing older.  This last little setback of mine with the hipflexor has made me realize that I really am getting old.  I remember when I was younger I used to look at older people and think, I will never let that happen to me.  I will never wear high waisted jeans and granny panties.  I will never get too many wrinkles and I will always wear a two piece bathing suit.  Age has a way of creeping up on you and hitting you right upside the head.  I must always remember to sparkle, even if I'm wearing hot pink Depends.
