Feeling old vs. Looking young

I just got this invite:

cellure2

The website reads:

The Cellure
System

Once reserved for cutting-edge medical care, our breakthrough stem-cell research now rewires the signs of aging. Developed at the world’s top stem-cell facility, CELLURE holds five patents and one secret: a stop at turning back the clock.

You and I both know that there is going to be a hefty goody bag at this event. The kind from the heydays of SWAG. I’m thinking about the Neiman Marcus Holiday Preview when the gift bag was so heavy you had to hail a cab because the pointy edges of the shopping bag nipped at your ankles. Unfortunately I can’t go because we have tickets to Elvis Costello at the Welmont in Montclair—a show we have been looking forward to ever since I sat out in the sun one July morning waiting for an hour to buy tickets with my friend Erin. We hung around with our phones sending work emails probably earning a few wrinkles in the process, with a bunch of Montclairians who looked, well, how else can I say it, weathered. I’ll go to the concert but now my heart will be in Soho.
