What a nice story.

Italian Town Salutes Sophia Loren

POZZUOLI, Italy - There's no place like home for Sophia Loren, who has received the honorary citizenship of her hometown in southern Italy.

Dressed in an elegant all-white outfit with a scarf, the 70-year-old actress was presented with a blue band representing honorary citizenship of the seaside town of Pozzuoli. She broke into tears during the ceremony. [...]

I thought it was kinda odd that she'd be made an honorary citizen of the place she grew up, but I think that's because I'm thinking more of something like national citizenship that sticks with you. I suppose it's probably more like making her an honorary resident.

Well, whatever--the only reason I posted this is so I would have an excuse to put up her picture.

You know, that's one mighty attractive septuagenarian.

Yeesh. Who's the horror show Lucille Ball lookalike in front?

Oh--I didn't notice anyone else in the picture.

All I know is that when I'm in my 70's I want to look as half as good as Ms. Loren.

I wish I looked half that good NOW! I mean, in a man sort of way.
