Aging Beauty (continued)

Style experts are always ready to give their advice about the way older women should dress. Rosy Martin's advice is to forget the fashion restrictions imposed on older women and to enjoy dressing up instead. Martin also believes that the body "speaks louder as one gets older" and the video installation of Martin and Goodridge performing a striptease has certainly attracted more attention than if it had starred younger, more nubile women.

In the video the artists peel off surgical bandaging which had been holding their aging flesh taut and firm. Cosmetic surgery works in much the same way, hiding age by pulling flesh taut. Prettiness no longer seems to matter as long as the body and face are firm and tight, showing no signs of aging. Rosy Martin believes that we see aging as a problem that must be hidden or denied.
