When I lived in Germany in 1971 and 1973-74, I was struck by the use of female nudes in the mass circulation newspapers and magazines such as Bild Zeitung, Bunte, Stern, and Spiegel. But back then, the models were usually in their late teens or early twenties.

Earlier this week, I was walking along the famed Unter den Linden in Berlin. Towering above everything was a 40 foot high billboard from Dove featuring three giant nude women — but these women were in their 50s and early 60s. Quite captivating!

The tagline says: "Beauty knows no age."

Since today is my 59th birthday, that's an idea I can ascribe to (and so does my wife)! I guess we've all come a long way.

Happy birthday, Roger! I've been enjoying your travelogue - thanks for sharing! I just wrote about this new Dove campaign, which looks like it will only be available online in the US. I guess American women don't want to be reminded that they might get older (though the alternative isn't so great!).

Hi Roger,

. . H A P P Y . . B I R T H D A Y ! ! !

May all your (creative) dreams come true!

Kind Regards.

Luc. : )

Happy Birthday Roger - many more to come no doubt. And many more creative outpourings.

Best

Phillip

Happy Birthday Roger!
In regard to "Beauty knows no age."... true beauty is timeless because true beauty comes from a place where time has no decaying effect. Our bodies are but shadows and dust but true beauty comes from our eternal soul.

Well, a couple days late, but Happy Birthday, Roger!

You know, I read someone making the point that Dove is owned by Unilever, which also owns Axe Body Spray, widely known for commercials that objectify women in some way. Does it taint the Dove campaign to know that the money goes to a company sending out such opposite messages?

Thanks to all for the kind birthday wishes! Much appreciated.

Roger,

Already wished you a happy birthday, but I have a request. When the time is right, can you share your youthful secrets with the rest of us? I know you swim and do creative exercises to keep your mind sharp but would love to hear more about it all. We should all advance in years the way you do. Young at heart, mind, body and soul.
