Little old lady needs a make-over please
« on: Tuesday 10 June 08 09:18 BST (UK) »
Could someone please bring my 3x gt-aunt back to life?  She's 77 years old here but somehow looks really ancient.

She married a priest so I'm guessing she'd be wearing rather conservative colours  ;)

Thanks,
Karen

Sorry can't help Karen but can't help saying that you have some wonderful family photos  : :D  It must be just the clothing and hair do that ages her as her face is lovely for her age, not too many worry lines there  :)

Thanks Hippy,

That's gorgeous and much appreciated  ;) ;D

Thanks Mare, I find the photo fascinating. It is really sharp and she certainly looks like a genuine granny with that hat  ;)
