Silver Fox of the Week: Aretha Franklin

Enough with Zac Efron and his ilk. We'll take gray at the temples, crow's feet, and soft paunches over that any day. In response to the flooding of the market by zygotes, once a week we'll give props to a sexy senior citizen.




This lady is amazing! She is the undisputed queen of soul, Aretha Franklin. Beyonce and the Grammy producers made the mistake of calling Tina Turner “the queen” and Aretha had to set them straight, on who the real queen was. Despite this small controversy, Queen Areatha gave one of the best performances of the evening. She performed a song alongside many gospel stars like Israel and New Breed, one of the Winans, and others. She looked like a yellow songbird in her dress. I was almost moved to go to church, but not quite.

Queen Aretha is always impeccably dressed and a real lady. My aunt who used to be a back up dancer for her said that she wears all her own diamonds and has a security guard just for them. Now I know she dresses rather scandalous for someone her age with that breast size, but hey, if you have big, gargantuan, ginormous boobies and you are a queen, does it really matter? Also, it is my belief that if you did not pay for your huge boobs and are famous, then you should wear stuff however low you want and show them off to anyone, even children.

I have seen her in concert and it is one of the best performances ever. She looks wonderful; her talent and stage presence is amazing. If you really look at her up close, she has the most amazing skin. I heard straight form one of her band members that the secret to her beauty is her weight. She weighs so much that her fat has smoothed out any wrinkles she might have; as a result, she has the elasticity of a ten year old! When I get older, I need to forget about wrinkle cream, Botox and Restylane. I need to get fat! I really think the world of this woman and her voice is a gift from God. That is why she is this week's Silver Fox.
