Bikini Bod...too old?

Okay, so I'm no Marissa Miller (or however the famous bathing suit supermodel spells her name)! I still want to wear a bikini when I'm learning to surf. Oprah, or some guest of hers, said that no woman over 40 should wear a bikini. Dark, one-piece suits should be the bathing/swimming uniform of those women. This attitude seems silly to me. I recently read the F. Scott Fitzgerald short story "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" because of its recent popularity in the movie theaters. The story was quite different than the movie as is often the case. In the story, as Benjamin gets younger, he grows bored with his aging wife. While in his early 30s, his wife turns 45 and Fitzgerald writes, "'Look!" people would remark. 'What a pity! A young fellow that age tied to a woman of forty-five.'" 45???? That's not old. At 46, I've decided to defy the present-day Oprah and the 1920s Fitzgerald-esque society. I feel better than ever, and I plan to wear a bikini. Watch out all of you Benjamin Button-30-somethings! I plan to surf in a bikini.
