Sex Appeal is Ageless

Courtney Cox and the TV show Cougar Town are helping boost lingerie sales for women in their 40's and 50's.  Debenhams states that it's highest sales are to women in this age bracket.  Well it certainly doesn't surprise us here a Plums Lingerie.  Our lovely ladies are all different ages,  it strikes me a strange that the concept that a woman in her 40's and 50's being sexy seems like a new thing.  What about Charlotte Rampling, Catherine Deneuve and Anne Bancroft?
