Musings of a former hula hoop champion
My Mother. Myself? A guest post by Erica Hollinshead Stead
Every once in a while, I am struck by the need to blur the lines between the generations of women. To remind myself that we are all, at heart, the products of other women whose reality differed in countless ways than ours. That we are all, at heart, traversing a terrain our mothers never knew, […]

March 9, 2013
by Life in the Boomer Lane
In its March 2013 issue, AARP Magazine presents “Sex at 50+: What’s Normal?” in which they answer our burning curiosity about other people’s sex lives. A heads up (in a manner of speaking): If you routinely incorporate the Area 51 Love Doll, the Strict Leather Dildo Face Harness, or the Drilldo into your sexual repertoire, […]
Why Older Men Prefer Younger Women. Or Don’t.
March 5, 2013
by Life in the Boomer Lane
On January 7, 2011, I posted a piece titled “The Myth of Older Men Wanting Younger Women.” I said that, in spite of the common belief that all older men are chasing after younger women, my experience has been otherwise. The response was instant and strong. On both sides of the aisle. On February 28, […]

February 27, 2013
by Life in the Boomer Lane
My Sex and the Sixty-Year-Old posts got the attention of eHarmony Canada, who requested equal time. I’m happy to give it because, in spite of what I write about Susan’s misadventures in the dating world, I believe that online dating works.

The Wiggles:A Guest Post by Nancy Roman
February 22, 2013
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Nancy is the author of a blog called, NotQuiteOld, which is sort of how everyone of a certain age feels because old is something that those “other” people are, not us. Old is like 20 years away. Always. Right? Right. But it’s that pesky “notquiteold” dimension that we exist in that keeps reminding us that we may be notquiteold, […]
I Am Honored, Farklempt, and Completely Pissed Off
February 20, 2013
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Peg, of Peg-o-Leg’s Ramblings, is one of those bloggers who regularly knocks me down to size, which is completely depressing since I am 5’1″ tall and usually totter around in high heels and big hats so no one notices. Except they do anyway. Back to Peg. Every time I write one of my world class, priceless posts […]
What’s Wrong With the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition?
February 13, 2013
by Life in the Boomer Lane
Let’s talk about skinny models in bathing suits. Or not. Instead, let’s talk about “negative racial and ethnic stereotypes perpetuated by placement of skinny models in bathing suits against a backdrop of indigenous peoples.” There.
