I didn't basically say anything.
What I actually said is viewable above. This is twice you have taken a fair comparison of physical appearance out of context to make it look like I am bagging on someone... Read my whole post
I have worked with "real" middle aged women. They don't look anywhere near as good as Celine Dion. Do us a favor and drop the all-creatures-are-beautiful-as-one-of-God's-creations bit. We get it..., from a higher philosophic plane, the physical stuff of our bodies really reduces to about $3.50 worth of chemicals and is the less important aspect of our existence, the bloom of beauty fades, yadda yadda yadda.
As someone who can appreciate Celine's beauty, you should also be able to recognize that she is more beautiful than some and not as beautiful as others. As the definition of beauty has evolved over time to arrive where we are today, Shania is better looking than Celine.
Some might say she is "stunning" oops they already did.
