The Floating Red Couch is the couch parked squarely in front of my 42" Sony LCD. It is the site of most of my observations about cinema and media and et cetera over the last five or so years. It is covered with dog hair and baby germs.

Announcing: The Sexy Sexagenarian Grudge Match

Generally speaking, my cut off for chicks that I find attractive is about my age +15.  I do have exceptions though.

I discovered Blythe Danner when I first saw Meet the ParentsWhat a handsome woman, I thought.  Sophisticated, simple, sassy.....sexy.

Oh yes.

I had known of Helen Mirren before I saw Calendar Girls in 2006, but I've never really watched her.  Even in Calendar Girls, I hadn't noticed her.....That is, until she went bare....

Oh my.

And so, my question had always been Blythe Danner or Helen Mirren?  Two >60's that still pack a wallop in the hot babe department.

GILFs to the max.

Well, I shall answer the question once and for all in an official Grudge Match --


 The Sexy Sexagenarian Grudge Match!
