The Gramma Sutra

Screen Legend Elizabeth Taylor dies at 79

 

Who could be more of a GrammaSutrian than Elizabeth Taylor? The violet eyed beauty made more than 60 films, received two Academy Awards, was one of the earliest and most vocal Aids activists and had a couple, two, three marriages to boot.

There are plenty of people eulogizing Liz right now and we'll leave them to it.  The Gramma Sutra hopes that you'll pick up one of our favorite movies about desire, lust and passion, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.  Elizabeth Taylor in a slip is the personification of sexy.  Paul Newman slumped in a chair looking at her while she leans over him is hotter than any thing we've seen at the movies lately.  We hope wherever Liz is now, she's having a drink with Paul and her ex husbands and having a ball.  Liz, we miss you already.

Below is the original trailer for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, watch and enjoy.

 

The Longevity Study

The GrammaSutra believes that the number one way to have a great sex life as you get older is to actually get older.  To that end we will be posting information on how to live longer, live stronger and stay alive so you can enjoy your life and your sex life for as long as possible.

Drs. Howard Friedman and Leslie Martin studied 1,500 people at Stanford University to find out who lives the longest and why. Their book, "The Longevity Project: Surprising Discoveries for Health and Long Life from the Landmark Eight-Decade Study," documents the findings of this study. It discusses the character traits they found associated with long life, and addresses some of the common myths about longevity.

The best of men cannot suspend their fate: The good die early, and the bad die late. (Myth!) --Get married and you will live longer. (Myth!) --Take it easy and don't work so hard and you will stay healthier. (Myth!) --Thinking happy thoughts reduces stress and leads to long life. (Myth!) --Religious people live longer, so don't miss religious services. (Myth!) --If you have hobbies like gardening, walking, and cooking, you should take up more vigorous forms of exercise. (Myth!) --Worrying is very bad for your health. (Myth!) --If you believe that you are loved and cared for, then you are on the road to good health. (Myth!) --Retire as soon as you can and play more golf to stay healthy and live longer. (Myth!) --If your child is very serious, encourage him or her to be more spontaneous and have more fun. (Myth!) --Give your children a big head start in school and they will thrive for life. (Myth!) --You can live to be a hundred only if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred (as Woody Allen is said to have joked). (Myth!)

Who says sexy isn't funny?

Not The Gramma Sutra!

Congratulations Melissa Leo!

 

The Gramma Sutra congratulates Oscar winner Melissa Leo for her win as best supporting actress.  Leo is fabulous and fifty and was the subject of some tongue wagging when she took out ads in a bit of self promotion for the Oscars. 

"I took matters into my own hands," she said. "I knew what I was doing and told my representation how earnest I was about this idea. I had never heard of any actor taking out an ad as themselves and I wanted to give it a shot...I did hear a lot of very positive comments, particularly from women of a certain age who happen to act for a living and happen to understand full well the great dilemma  and mystery of getting a cover of a magazine."

Amen to that! Melissa Leo is 50 and the scuttlebut in Hollywood is that while it's fine for a 50 year old woman to play the mother of a 39 year old man(Mark Wahlberg in The Fighter), it's not apparently alright to put that same 50 year old on the cover of a magazine. 

So here are Melissa's pictures along with the fervent hope and desire that as more and more of us become GrammaSutrians we will use our considerable power to see ourselves represented in all aspects of the media.
