I suspected it in my 40's and now that I've spent several years in my 50's I'm convinced of it. I've become invisible. Really. I am not the target audience for new movies. Clothes are not designed with me in mind. The only thing on TV that market to me are the commercials for high cholesterol medicine and that yogurt that Jamie Lee Curtis is hawking. It is an interesting time in my life. I've never been invisible before. It takes a little getting used to.
I have to tell you, though, that being invisible has its advantages. I don't feel the need to fix my hair and put on makeup to go to the grocery store anymore. Think about all the time that saves! I don't change my clothes before going to the mall. Whatever I'm wearing at the house will just have to do at the mall. Sometimes my purse does not match my shoes and I don't feel self conscious about it. I will even wear white after Labor Day and not care! That's an east coast thing.
Being invisible frees me up to enjoy things that maybe I would not have done when I could be seen. I might even wear crocs!
