Joy Kozar makes news

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Under a headline declaring “Sex appeal: What’s age got to do with it?” Joy Kozar predicts a revolution.

Reporter and commentator Brian Alexander quotes Kozar on msnbc.com today. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18039588/)

“Outward beauty is only part of the story,” he assured us in his story proclaiming the old news that older women are appealing.

Kozar is an assistant professor in ATID. Here’s her quote: “I think it is sad that we are just now coming into a time when we are getting rid of this stereotypical notion that just because you age, you are indifferent or unconcerned with appearance or attractiveness. I think that we are starting to have this tremendous demographic shift in the U.S. and there really is a redefinition of what it means to be old.”

Funny how we baby boomers managed to redefine beauty as youth when we were young and as ageless as we get older.
