the whys of older women

Do older women wear gloves To hide their wrinkles? Camouflage their age spots? To try to look fancy, dainty or demure? To look feminine? They usually wear pink, white, yellow or light green gloves. Few of them wear black gloves. Is this on purpose or by accident? Maybe manufacturers never make black tea gloves What is up with older women’s hair? Why do they dye it power blue, pink and lavender? Are they trying to be punky? I began to spy on them, to try and figure it out. I watched them waddle into churches yesterday All puffed, pumped and primed. Only one was stumbling on heels Why do older women wear flats?
