“Let’s be honest — what we’re talking about, when we’re talking about women and aging, is losing status,” writes izzygrinspan
Alexandra Grant, who is not capable of traveling through time, and Keanu Reeves, who is, but probably only in the movies. Photo: Matt Baron/Shutterstock The theme of this year’s Met Gala is “time.” It’s finally one that I feel I could achieve without the help of a stylist. I’m about to turn 39, which means I’m one year short of 40, and I would not describe myself as defiantly ageless.
This supports my long-standing theory, developed the minute I turned 35, that people under the age of 35 think of all people over the age of 35 as “old.” Once someone has crossed that barrier, it doesn’t matter if she’s 46 or 74 — the point is that she is not young. When you’re young, you think of older people as having so much power. They have seniority at work, their lives are more stable, they’re not constantly making mistakes born of embarrassing levels of innocence. Of course, you have a different kind of power, one they have lost forever, which is that you’re young in a world that values youth. So you embrace it, or at least I embraced it. Maybe you get a little snotty about it, because you feel so powerless otherwise.
