 Boomer
Babes
A Woman's Guide to the New Middle Ages
Linda Stasi, Rosemary Rogers
As its title suggests, this
"guidebook to staying hip and hot without flipping
out" at almost 50 is not politically correct. Stasi
is a journalist; Rogers, a music producer (and coauthor
of Saints Preserve Us! 1993). Their strength is snappy
patter, opening with "Fifty Good Reasons to Turn
Fifty" and "Commandments" --10 "for
Preserving Babedom"; 10 "for Preventing Old
Fartdom." Four chapters focus on finding a man;
two on menopause (hers and his); others on work issues,
diet, exercise, hair, makeup, cosmetic surgery, children,
parents, "Fallen Idols," money, AARP, and
celebrating one's fiftieth birthday.
