Justine Bateman, older sister of Jason and former teen star of Family Ties has a book out now discussing how society treats aging women. The book also strongly promotes natural aging over plastic surgery (Which she calls a 'ponzi scheme'). Here she is back in the earl 80s: And here she is today at the age of 55:

Edible underwear that transforms into granny panties the longer you have them on. "Seriously, Lucy?!" "Just eat em off of me before I'm 100, Dave!' Edible underwear -> edible granny panties -> edible Depends

This weekend is the annual celebration of love: Valentine’s Day! But what if we made it ValenTIME’s Day? The yearly holiday with an AP twist — in this thread, how would you incorporate age TF into the day? For instance: let’s say that a rose petal adds ONE year to the recipient, and there are ten petals to a flower. WHO are you gifting flowers, and how many? 🌹 Let’s hear your answer, or your OTHER Valentime’s Day ideas! I would be selling bouquets of AP roses in bunches of 7 on college campuses! "Enjoy a romantic night with your now 90-year-old sorority girl, bro!"

Firefly Lane - It's based on a novel about two women sharing the bond of friendship over the course of 4 decades.
The description of the show says they meet as tween in 1974 - so if the show brings them to the current day that would put them right around 60. The trailer seems to show some aging fx on the actresses but i'll let you be the judge:
It's also fun for fans of Sarah Chalke from Scrubs or How I met Your Mother; and Katherine Heigl from Greys Anatomy or Knocked Up: Both actresses are in their early to mid 40s now so we should at least get to see them playing women their own age and older!

agemagic had asked for something like this in another thread. I came across this a few years ago. It's the closest thing i've seen to a Kim Possible AP story - unfortunately the AP is pretty brief, it more focuses on AR but several character DO get age progressed. Anyway, maybe it will inspire someone to write a more AP-heavy Kim Possible tale: Kim Possible Fan Fic

Excellent work Spy! Thanks for sharing! I think it's funny that Honey Lemon's outfit works for her both as a teen and an elderly woman. But they both look ridiculous in their suits as old biddies. The stuff that AP dreams are made of.

I really enjoyed this a lot. Writing long stories like this can be tough but you always do an impeccable job Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it. I honestly still intend on continuing this story, it's just a matter of finding the time. But I plan on seeing this tale through to its inevitable conclusion.

Wish they focused on female characters more than the male one but there's still some fun stuff in here.

Here's a pic of the 'senior cheerleader' for those of you that can't stream the show:

So the new Saved by the Bell reboot on Peacock is surprisingly good and does a great job at subverting and making thoughtful commentary on its original source material.
One thing that might be of interest to people on here - in the 4th episode the show ('The Fabulous Birchwood Boys') there is a running gag where some of the main characters from the show interact with various 'High School Seniors' played by a 40-something actor, a 60+ actor (both wearing letterman jackets) and finally a 62-year-old actress in a cheerleading outfit. One of the main characters keeps remarking in disbelief that these older people are seniors at their high school while the other characters don't seem to notice anything wrong about it. Finally, the girl that's been questioning it wonders if the school is aging them all and runs off to check her face in the mirror and make sure that she's still young.
The gag plays off of the fact that the 90s show had a habit of casting OBVIOUSLY adult actors in the roles of high-schoolers. The new show did a nice job with the joke in a fun, AP-friendly way.
It's too bad that Bayside wasn't actually rapidly aging it's student. I think we all would have enjoyed a grey-haired, wrinkled Kelly Kapowski hobbling the halls with the aid of a walker!

I meant to post this a few days ago: Tsai Chin, the former Bond Girl who played opposite the late great Sean Connery in You Only Live Twice: Unfortunately she had to suffer through the 60s playing mostly Asian stereo-types for roles. But she made a comeback in the 90s and has been steadily working for the past few decades and is a total Badass! When asked what it was like to share a bed with Sean Connery she replies "It was fine." You can read that and a ton of other brilliant quotes about a variety of topics including old age in this interview she gave recently: www.theguardian.com/film/2020/nov/03/tsai-chin-bed-sean-connery-bond-girl-lucky-grandma
