About

1. Why ‘Wrinklerella’? Are you about 80 years old?

Nope, I’m 51 52.

But I see the wrinkles first when I look in the mirror.

I’m probably the only woman who does.

Without Botox (not going there) or plastic surgery (really not going there), I’m going to have wrinkles the rest of my life. I might even get a few more.

But, in about a zillion other ways, my life is so, so, SO much better than it’s ever been before. The older I get, the more fun I have and the less I use the brakes. (Metaphorically speaking, of course.)

Also, Wrinklerella is better than Laughlinerella. Or Crowsfeetrella.

2. So is Wrinklerella a blog about inner beauty?

Aaack.

3. Well, then, is it about skin care?

No, but I can’t say enough about the benefits of exfoliating.

4. Do you have an actual career? Or do you spend all day blogging?

I’m a freelance health care writer. I love what I do, but if I say more, your eyes will glaze over. Trust me.

5. Can I be a Wrinklerella, too?

Of course!

6. How old do I have to be?

It depends on how much sun exposure you’ve had.

7. What does ‘Being the Baloney’ mean?

Back when Dancing Fairy was small enough to be picked up, Mr. Music and I used to ask her if she wanted to be the baloney. She always said yes, because she knew what was coming. We’d pick her up, put her between us, and then hug. Really hard. In the middle of our sandwich, she’d squeal with delight.

We’re the sandwich generation: kids on one side, parents on the other. We are the baloney. I’m still working on the ’squealing with delight’ part.

8. Why do I have to enter my email address to comment on a post?

Rest assured that I don’t really want your email address–I have plenty of my own. And the only place is goes is onto the secure server where this site is hosted. (Blowing a kiss to LiquidWeb…MWAH!) I don’t even have a back-end database set up to capture email addresses. I couldn’t sell yours if my life depended on it.

But, just in case you leave a comment offering to enhance the size and/or function of body parts I don’t even possess, I can block your address and prevent you from posting again. Oooh. The power.

On the other hand, if you leave me a message offering to enhance the size and/or function of body parts I do possess–my BRAIN, for instance–that’s a whole different story. We’ll be BFF, so I’ll definitely need your email addy. Please send it directly to me at wrinkler at wrinklerella.com.
