Do you tell your age?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I met the vivacious Charla Krupp at a cocktail party at Stan Milton Oasis this week, and wrote a short Q&A about her new book, “How Not to Look Old.” Here’s the link to the story.
Given the topic of her book, we decided to ask Charla if she gives her age.
“I stopped telling people my age because I’d like to see the day when we don’t ask women their age,” she said. “It should be as off-limits as asking about religion or bank accounts. Nothing good will come from it in our youth obsessed society!”
I’m from the South, where it’s impolite to ask women their age, although as a journalist, I’ve certainly asked people their age (and all sorts of other questions about themselves.)
Does age matter? Or is it just a number?
By the way, even though Charla doesn’t disclose her age I can tell you she’s obviously living by the advice she dispenses in her book. She looks fabulous!
