I could not resist sharing this from the Huffington Post. Julia Louise Dreyfuss who just turned 48 (48 years old people) is still absolutely smoking hot and apparently unafraid and unabashed about the secret to her bodacious bod-Spanx! Who knew? I'm telling you ladies, all we have to do is somehow miraculously smoosh our size-whatever bodies into those miracle wonders (which are like the miracle bras but in reverse) and we, too, will look like Julia Louise Dreyfuss when and if we ever reach the tender and still incredibly sexy age of 48. Or so she says....

For those of you (meaning the men who somehow find their way to this page), Spanx are the modern version of the icky control top panty hose that your grandmother and mother used to wear. Think Bridget Jones in her granny-panty underwear and you'll get the idea. The problem with Spanx is that they are difficult to keep up and at the end of the night, when that special he or she is undressing you, you have to be aware of the Spanx and ensure that all lights in the vicinity are turned off.

For Julia Louise Dreyfuss to admit that she wears them is, in a small and insignificant way, quite specatacular.
