A new trend is spreading and it is making GFYA (Good For Your Age) the hottest thing on the new horizon. So what determines what makes one look GFYA (Good For Your Age)? Is it plastic surgery or natural tender care? Eating right, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables compared to Botox! Too close to call.

So, according to Times Online, there used to be a universal Good For Your Age (GFYA) standard, back when GFYA meant well preserved considering how many years you had been walking the planet. Now, how you rate on the GFYA scale depends on which micro-planet you inhabit, and what the women in your world consider to be appropriate anti-ageing maintenance.
SO ARE YOU GOOD FOR YOUR AGE?
