2. He's a vain 69 year old man trying to look 50.

No more more hair dye, no facials, no Botox, and no more mani-pedis. He won't have any more of those high priced celebrity brand styling and moisturizing products. No one will remove his scraggly ear hairs, trim his dangling nose hairs, or give him perfectly shaped brows, slather a depilatory over his bikini line, or remove the scratchy, wiry grey pelt from his torso.

The next time we see him, Manafort will look like any other 69 year jail inmail.

4. I think its just his fake "look" that might make him appear to be gay.

The styled hair with the obvious bouffant lift was very popular when men his age were in their prime back in the day. My 72 year old ex, also an extremely vainglorious and petty man, maintains a similar affectation with the poofy dyed hair and facial treatments. Maybe men like that are more like some bastardized version of a metrosexual, trying desperately to hang on to the distant memories of their youth, thinking no one notices how ridiculous they really look.

wasn't looking at the window displays, rather his own reflection in the shop windows.....

Have you ever noticed pretty Hollywood ladies..when they get into their 70s adopt a clown like style...Loni Anderson and Ann Margaret now wear everything on top of everything and jewelry and do dads, and cowboys hats and gold shoes..and garish make up...they were cool when they were young...my Mom kind of got like that, too...

6. Yeah, some old folks just refuse to age gracefully and cling to the past.

I've embraced the aging processes because it allows me to be free of society's stereotypes. No I speak my mind and if I need to be rude to rightwing nutters and religious kooks, I am. I don't worry about brand name designer duds and if my plaid shirt clashes with my pajama pants at the restaurant, I couldn't care less. My next haircut will be a buzzcut for the summer, so I got this age business covered!
