Sharon Lawrence has aged rather well. I know this because, among other reasons, I watched that whole Hidden Palms fiasco and they beat us over the head with the notion that her character was a great-looking older woman in deep sexual heat who could pull with the best of 'em (even if they were sometimes stereotypical asshat younger dudes who wanted to steal her money; the point is, she was considered a dish). To which I say, way to go. Get yours. Live the dream. Don't give up on yourself.

No, no, Sharon, we said DON'T give up on yourself. What happened here? The jacket and the bag could have been so chic with a cocktail dress, or even a fitted shirt and jeans. The yellow Forever 21-style top might have worked on its own, with the right bottoms. And the Ann Taylor For Geriatrics pants... never could have worked, ever, actually, and are the ill-fitting icing on this badly proportioned cake. In fact, I'm pretty sure they're made from my grandmother's kitchen wallpaper. It's distressing. You're a lovely 56-year old lady**, Shaz -- you have no need to dress your lower half like you're sipping cheesecake martinis on the lanai with Blanche Deveraux.
** So apparently, I wasn't expecting math to be on the exam, and I didn't study. Sharon is 46. So, while she would have been a SUPER hot 56-year old, she is merely a hot 46-year old, and may this knowledge keep her from having us killed for accidentally adding a decade to her. It does, however, make her fondness for Rose Nyland's trousers somewhat less explicable.
