We've all seen her before.

She's the . . . older. . .woman at the grocery store in some shorts that have 'juicy' plastered across the butt.

She's the lady in her 40s wearing tattered, ripped jeans that look strangely like the ones you wore in college.

She's that lady showing all her boobs in a top that looks like it belongs to her teenaged granddaughter.

Yes, dear readers, I'm talking about women who do not dress their age.

Some say these folks are trying to stay young and hip, but mostly, they look ridiculous.

Women can be sexy at any age, if they play the part well. That doesn't mean stealing clothes from a younger generation and trying to rock the look.

It doesn't work.

MSN agrees. Here's their take on folks dressing their age, and trends for women older than 30 (that includes me) to avoid.

Any thoughts? Any hot mess stories to share on this topic?

Who decides whether your girls should be restrained or run free?

You?

Your man?

Society?

This is exactly the problem pondered in this column in Annie's Mailbox.

The writer is perplexed about whether she, heavy breasts and all, should wear a bra.

Her husband, she says, likes for her girls to be free at all times, and she lets them bounce around, even after getting dirty looks from other women at groceries stores and in public.

(Count me in on that one - please, sister, cover those things up!)

What to do?

What to do? I just don't know.

The girls at the mailbox set her straight.

For the "Attack of the Muffin Tops," post, I received several comments from folks on both sides of the issue.

York Dude wrote:

"Me likey! To me it says hey I'm not perfect but I'm not insecure either. That appeals to me."

Some folks out there enjoy the look. However, York Dude was mostly alone in his opinion here.

My new year's resolutions include several things, such as:

1. Go on vacation to exotic locale

2. Have erotic fling while at said locale

3. Lose those pesky 25 (ok, 55) pounds

4. Be a better sister, daughter, aunt, friend, lover, worker, reporter and writer

5. Get organized

I decided to hit the ground running with the resolutions, and tackled one of my biggest organizational "problems" - my closet

You know who they are.

They're the group of women, teens or even girls who have that fat roll showing over the top of their jeans, pants or even sweats..

Think a love handle, but one that goes all the way around. . .

For those who have seen the Muffin Top, you know what I'm talking about.

I admit, I've got my own jiggly body baked goods, but I keep them covered.

Not so with the Muffin Tops.

When one of my best friends, Jenni, told me she and her boyfriend of 10 years, Dave, were finally getting married, I was so excited.

When she asked me to be a bridesmaid, I couldn't hide my joy. (I was going to look GOOD.)

When she told me we'd be wearing strapless dresses, I wanted to run screaming.
