How Old Are The Members of The Fedora Lounge?

[maintcoder]

I'm a new member, as of yesterday, and I am 49yrs. and 4 mo. old. My daughters are 22 and 17, and love classic stlye as much as I do. They are not members, of course, but they are romantics, and appreciate a well-dressed man, and like me in all four of my fedoras.

CH

Welcome Chris! Like you, my 18 and 15 year old daughters like me in my fedoras too - although they don't appreciate the classic style for themselves, they dig it on me.

 

[Skari Spice]

Still taking the poll? I'm 33. Born on the third anniversary of the first moon landing. Maybe that's why I'm... "looney"? *Snort!* Get it? Get it? Aw, never mind.

 

[J. M. Stovall]

Yeah, the geezers win! What do we get? A lifetime supply of Alieve?

 

[Tin Pan Sally]

I'll turn 40 soon. So I only have a couple more months to vaguely tell people I am "in my thirties". I refuse to be one of those ladies who lies about her age. I mean, if I tell people I'm 21, they'll just think I look bad for my age. Besides -- I earned every year.

Yeah! I always thought it'd be better to tell people that you're OLDER than what you really are. Because then they'll think, "DANG! She looks good for her age!"

The #1 song the week I was born was Prince - Let's Go Crazy. 21.

I like to tell people that I'm much older than I am, that way they might say how great I look.

Age

I am currently twenty three years of age. My birthday is January seventh, nineteen hundred and eighty three.

 

[matei]

I'm 34 years young.

 

[Flash Gordon]

I turned 52 last week.

I tell everyone I'm 62, and they tell me how great I look for my age.

Not only do I remember the Kennedy assasination and the moon landing, but also the original Mickey Mouse Club, Captain Kangaroo, the milkman, the coal man, and party-line telephones.

As far as headwear goes, my dad (who's 86) tells me his favorite fedora was a Knox Twenty, which I also remember very well.

Any other questions, children?

45 here. I hated my 45th birthday but I'm learning to live with it and am planning on getting older with grace and style.

 

[Pilgrim]

I'm 55, and proud of what my generation did in the 60's and 70's. That was the time period when the facade of "separate but equal" treatment for many people was stripped away, with the result that civil rights emerged. I think the baby boom generation has made at least its share of mistakes, but it has also done a great deal for US society and the world.

I do recognize that change is a two-edged sword. Some of the aspects of society that members of this forum treasure fell away during the last 40 years. However, society tends to maintain and even bring back things that it really values. Hats may turn out to be a good example.

And I'm delighted to share this forum with members that have such an interesting mixture of ages, viewpoints and experiences.

That's a good idea, I am going to start telling people I am 40.

I was born on the one year anniversary of Apollo 11 splashing down safely in the Pacific.

Did you know that...

Aging boomers are often called "Cripsters" now?

56. Born in 1949.

In some ways it is quite odd getting this far. Mentally I don't really feel any different than, say, at 36. Physically - well, a lot of things hurt that didn't use to.

The one really good thing about getting older is that you develop a different sense of time. 10 years is half a lifetime to a 20 year old, but it is yesterday to me. In particular you start to notice the same things coming round again and again, like moral panics about the terrible state of modern youth.

Nice to see there are so many young folks into the Golden Era...KC

 

[Lena_Horne]

Up until last Sunday, I was nineteen. Now I'm twenty and so begins the age of the "ty" suffix.

Why?

Maybe it's my age, but I was wondering why the poll stopped at '45 and over'? There's a lot of 'age' left after that!

I'm 'over 60'.
