At 102 years old, Nora Hardwick proves that you really are only as old as you feel… no matter how the rest of you looks. This great-great-grandma just posed nude for a calendar to help raise money for the Ancaster Athletic football team in Ancaster, Lincolnshire.
But don’t worry: she didn’t let it all completely hang out.
“They draped a bit of pink cloth around my shoulders, but at my age I just don’t have the model body to be taking it all off,” she told The Telegraph, a U.K. newspaper. “It was all very tastefully done. You couldn’t see any of the bits or anything.”
Apparently Mrs. Hardwick’s children — who range from 62 to 80 years old — applaud their Mum’s decision. Know what? I do too. As far as I’m concerned, having lived past 100 years old entitles Mrs. Hardwick to do just about anything she wants!

Inquiring minds would like to know where you keep finding these bizarre news items. :-O

The only thing I keep wondering about when I read this story was whether or not they bothered to iron the pink cloth they put on her.
As a photographer, I think of these things.
What? Stop looking at me like that.

Hey, I got distracted trying to visualize the use of the beer taps.
