The raisin chick only gets hotter…

…while the rest of us are moving in the direction of looking more like raisins. Doesn’t seem fair somehow.

In her defense, she has had the good sense all these years to wear a sun bonnet, and that may have protected her from premature aging. And grape skins, of course, contain resveratrol, a compound that has been shown to extend the life of fruit flies.

But clean living does not explain the hooters on that gal in the new logo.

    Very funny. But, if you look closely it seems to me she only had them lifted. In the original they rest in her stomach:-D

    Thanks for this, Stephanie. It made my day! I think we can all only imagine where she’ll be in 10 years time…it just goes to show that some formerlies aren’t ever formerly…

    Looks like she also got a nice set of porcelain veneers, a few shots of botox, a brow-lift and maybe a little narrowing of the nose. Probably some lipo, too, for those “trouble spots” that she used to hide under that big basket of grapes.

  9. [...] 2. I’ve noted Formerly Hot – the self-described “tween site for grownups” -  in this space before. Lately, I’ve really enjoyed how blogger Stephanie Dolgoff weaves together more thoughtful pieces on what it means to age (see here for some ruminations on Thanksgivings past) alongside some very funny observations about aging, like this one on the SunMaid Raisin Lady.

    What’s next, a post about how Annie from the musical never seems to age?

    Newsflash: IT’S NOT THE SAME GAL. THEY HIRE A NEW RAISIN COVER MODEL EVERY FEW YEARS, AND SHITCAN THE OLD ONE.

    Unfair and agist? Maybe. But there’s no magic or Olay miracle at work here. Just a Menudo Menuvre. After all, their target demographic is little kids, and they don’t want to frighten the fragile children with the terrifying image of a women in her 40s. I mean, maybe for a special Halloween box or something. But the rest of the year, let’s not give children one more reason to shriek in supermarkets.

    I suppose the “new” Sunmaid Raisin woman is tired of hiding behind the basket of grapes and wants the world to see her for what she is…something else for regular women to compare ourselves to. She gives Barbie a run for her money on the waist to boob ratio, that’s for sure…I think I liked the raisins better when the woman on the box was normal looking.
