coming soon: 40something February 2005

Amanda just turned 50, so do yourself a favor: Don't sing "Happy Birthday" to her. "I bloody hated the idea of turning 50," she said. "That's why when the photographer approached me in the market and asked me to pose for these dirty pictures, he about made my year! Amanda's 49th year on Planet Earth wasn't her best. Her youngest son left home to attend a university in London. Her husband left her for a young girl. "Twenty-six-bloody-years-old," Amanda said. "So when the photographer showed me 40Something and asked me to pose, I said yes before he even told me how much it paid. I didn't care."
