Never too young to look younger
I remember the first time I felt old. It was 1989 and 17 year old Michael Chang had just won the French Open. I suddenly realized that I was 18 and had accomplished nothing. Fortunately my natural laziness prevented me from doing anything drastic like, say, trying to accomplish something.
I suppose feeling old when young is pretty common, but doing nothing about it may not be. The AP reports that there is a surprising trend among today's twentysomethings to use anti-aging products and wrinkle treatments. Alas, although the truth hurts, these kids have the right idea.
Maria Esther de Capovilla started using Oil of Olay at 17 and today she doesn't look a day over 95.

You have to admit, Charles, that Senora de Capovilla is quite a gnarly looking old bat. Personally I look forward to scaring small children with my wiry moustache and wild Einsteinian hair. (Of course, I'm 33 and I do that now.)

Once again, former Stay Free! Deputy Ryan Creed proves himself a trendsetter. At 21, Ryan cited his mother's habit of swathing her hands and neck with vaseline before bedtime as the key to her youthful skin -- and his rationale for doing the same.
The people in the article are missing an easier solution, though. They could get fat. Fat people generally have younger-looking skin.
