1. I love your video and shared it on FB. They removed it because of “nudity”. I checked the guidelines and the video does not violate them. I’m very disappointed with FB.

2. Donnalou I love this video! It sums it up us older ladies so well. My husband of 45 years tell me two things. He loves every inch of me even at my age of 66. The other thing he says is: why go out for hamburger when there’s steak at home. :-) He says he could never understand why an old guy would want a young girl. He says he’s afraid he’d get saddled with Kim Kardashian. LOL! Keep up the great work!

4. Marny, I want to support you so here are the lyrics, but I am super busy with other projects. Perhaps for further questions about how to find things, you could ask someone who is familiar with the workings of Youtube and the internet? I would sure appreciate it. There’s just one of me trying to do so much.

6. Thanks Donna for the suggestions. I searched on You Tube but could not find any written lyrics, and I don’t know how to access I tunes so am no further ahead on this.

7. Great song. Where can I get a copy of the words and music for this song? I have a senior singing group who entertain in Seniors’ homes and they would love to do this.

   Reply to Marny

   1. You can find the lyrics on You Tube and the song on iTunes!

      1. I saw the video on you tube. I’ll look for the written lyrics. I want to use it in an autumn equinox program on saving & aging.

8. I’m a 48 y/o male, and I would choose one of these hotties over a younger model ANY day :) :) :) Less drama, more fun, and much more interesting.

9. Donnalou. About your videos appearance on the Today Show; I announced it on my Facebook pages and the Graying and Giggling in the Age of Googling group.
   We saw it and it was integrated beautifully in an homage to Hoda on her fiftyith birthday. All calls and comments to me about you were fabulous. I want o buy a DVD and wth your permission, show it at my speaking engagements. Is that okay?

18. I dearly loved this!! it was sooo much fun and at 81 years old I just wanted to get up and dance with all of you! it was perfect for me!!!

    Reply to Skeezo

19. Donnalou, This video is WONDERFUL! I’m 61, a local singer, and it would be an honor if you’d allow me to sing this at my programs; I play and sing mostly at nursing homes, senior centers and places where we “mature” people are! Thank you for writing and showing this to the world! As an older (and single) lady, I think this is terrific, and I can’t for more from you! You go, girl! I love it! :)

27. How old are you? You don’t look that old … try over 65, even better try 73. Wait until you get that age.

    Reply to dorleona

    1. You know, I am 63 yrs old. Ive had dentures since I was 11, been widowed twice, and had one of my children pass over. Age is relative. I know 80 yr olds who have not experienced what I have, so I dont think it is even a point.

       Reply to mrsbrown333

       1. bravo…

       2. You look young.

28. I am sharing the video with all my ‘older ladies’ and we are LOVING IT! So true and so cute. Thank you so much!

29. Where can I get/purchase a copy of just the music (not the video) of “Older Ladies”?

    1. Hi there, it will be on CD Baby by the weekend!

       Reply to donnalou stevens

30. This video is adorable – however, the ladies looked pretty darn young to me. Keep on making these and lifting us “Senior Ladies” and making us smile!

    Thanks

    1. I agree, Nanja. I tried to find some ‘older’ older ladies, but I only got our dear Sandra for two short scenes!

       Reply to donnalou stevens

31. been making my own youtube videos all alone trying to get the point across as an older woman I am awesome… so after seeing this one i was so delighted to see i am not alone!! thumbs up!!

    Reply to mrsbrown333

32. I think one of the problems in our world today is that we are so innundated with all those chirpy, child-like voices and appearances of the females we see on TV — it’s time our eyes and ears get accustomed to the other half of society — and I’m talking about the mature, mellowed and really strong WOMEN! We had many of these women back in the 1940’s, on the “silver screen,” each one an INDIVIDUAL, not a carbon copy, all with the same dribbly hairstyles we see today! These women in the video have become self-accepting and proud — therefore enviable!

    Reply to Annamay

33. At 71 I am an “older person” so just want to point out that some of us know that when your “sense of humor is gone” you have lost one of the most important components of life and “aging gracefully.” I have to say, this was an uplifting, hilarious and charming way for many older folks to chuckle at the inevitable. Actually, I did not feel it portrayed us as “stupid” at all, but rather more joyous and grateful for life and what it offers. Sorry for the rest of you who missed that.

    Reply to Sandi

37. Really stupid video! As an older person, I did not find this video to be supportive of older people. It just showed everybody how ugly people get when they age – nothing to be proud of. Your video also promotes the fact that elderly people are really stupid.

    Reply to Rachel

    1. I found them to be very beautiful.

       Reply to Victoria

    2. Thank you for being honest with your comment. I am sorry you could not feel the love & beauty that went into this creation. Everyone involved had an amazing time and most people who watch it are uplifted and inspired. I wish it had affected you in a positive way.

       That is my total intention, to inspire. I wish I could reach everyone, but I can’t. Some do not have the eyes to see the intention. I see everyone as beautiful, no matter what their bodies look like.

       I wish I lived in a world where all people loved themselves and each other.

       Reply to donnalou stevens

       1. amen!! all of them divine!!! thank you again for this fabulous video!!! if one cannot see the magnificence in one’s self no matter what age they are, they cannot see it in others.

          you made my day!

       2. It has been my experience that unhappy people seem to resent the uplifting, fun that others have when addressing the pitfalls of life and do most anything to drag others down into their quagmire rather than try to find a way out…..Loved this take on aging and my group of Diva’s ( yes we wear tiara’s) from high school love to uplift each other. And we are in our 60’s…Thank you for the laughter and good feelings!

    3. I thought this was a great video!! Wanted to get up and dance with them….They looked like happy folk. Why should the kids have all the fun?! Loved the words of the song, too!

55. Donnalou, the more I play it the more I love it. I have it on all my social networking pages. I was thinking that when my next humor book STRETCH MARKS: AGELESS WISDOM FOR SEXY OLD BROADS is published in 2015 or sooner PERHAPS we can partner in some manner with your song being my theme song at speeches and book signings. Win win for all.
    You are already a member of my “Graying and Giggling in the Age of Googling” on Facebook. Here’s my website to find out more about my Radio and TV background, books, newspaper columns, etc to see if this would interest you in the future. Best to you. Jan

    Reply to Annamay

    1. Ha ha ha, Linda.
       I have on clothes!!!

       I have a funny idea for a song called the ‘Downward dog test.

       Before dating anyone at our age, they must lie on the floor and we do the downward dog pose atop them.

       In my opinion, this is the most unflattering position an aging body can get itself into.

       If you still get the thumbs up after the pose, keep him.

    1. Yes Donna is in great shape, but she has maybe two of the things she mentions, however she has a whole crew that she is speaking for in the video and universally.. She is beautiful in person.

70. Okay, Donnalou. I posted your video on my Twitter, my newsfeed and authorjanmarshall FaceBook page. I couldn’t place it on the Graying and Giggling in the Age Googling FB site however. Perhaps you can.
    FYI. I went to your website and none of the links were live including your Kickstarter request. Perhaps you’d like to let your webmaster or mistress know.
