Women of a Certain Age Rock to Bruno Mars

I wonder if Bruno has any inkling about how much Spanx is in his audience each performance? Now keep this in mind. Not only women with sagging body parts pull on Spanx but so do many of the young women of today. I read an article in the Wall Street Journal the other day that Spanx is actually causing consternation within the pick up world. A girl looks great in a skin tight dress or skinny jeans, hot guy at the bar wants to take her home, but oops, sorry, got to go to the little girls' room... to remove my Spanx! But I digress. Bruno Mars. My sister and I love concerts but actually haven't been to one together in a long time. Our first big concert together was seeing the great "Purple One", Prince, in his Party Like It's 1999 and Little Red Corvette days. Sheila E. had the percussion gig. My sister and I both feel, to this day, that Prince's concert was the sexiest one we have ever been to. My husband questions our sanity when we say this to him. He says, "that little twerp is not sexy." I say, "Oh, yes, baby, he is. You don't have to be 6 ft. 6" to be sexy dear." So off we go to see another little twerp. Well, Bruno is 5 ft. 7". We don't care. We're ready to rock our booties as much as our neck to ankle Spanx will allow us.

I have read that Bruno can be temperamental. I have seen him throw hissy fits when he doesn't win a Grammy. This night, he would not let local media photographers take pictures. That was the scuttle butt anyway. Now this may have had nothing to do with Bruno but the vendors would not sell bottles of water... in the bottle. They had to pour it in a cup. I'm suspicious here but they claimed that people throw the bottles at the stage. Well, if you were at Altamont with the Rolling Stones, you might have a point. But Bruno has such a wide range of age groups attending plus a large portion is of the feminine persuasion, throwing bottles at the stage would not be the issue. Underwear, maybe. Water bottles? Nope. From the teenager to the medicare crowd, the women were there to see a great vocal stylist who sings the romantic to R and B breakdown. He and his band dance their rears off. Let me just say this. Bruno knows his audience and he knows how to please them. Even women of a certain age enjoyed the hip thrusting and floor pounding. Oh yes we did. What energy the whole band has. The band, except for when Bruno had a few solos, never, ever stopped moving. They had the audience on their feet the entire performance. All of the requisite hits were played. Keep in mind, Bruno does not have a large repertoire so the show was only an hour and forty five minutes. But that did not detract from the enjoyment of the show. Bruno is the consummate showman. A woman of a certain age can't help but give such a young guy some motherly advice. Oh, geez. I could be his grandmother. Did I really allow myself to say that? Bruno, stay out of trouble, keep a clear business head about you, and don't let your entourage let you believe you are above the law. And just say no!

My sister and I, both women of a certain age, say that if we were, oh, 20 years younger, we would zero in on Bruno, Spanx and all, and he wouldn't stand a chance. Oh, and to the woman of a certain age (not my sister and I) who came back to our hotel and had "rocked" too much, who had bought a pair of short short shorts with BRUNO MARS plastered across the rear, who then pulled said shorts over her jeans and then pretended to be on the cat walk, no, lady, no. That's not a good look for any woman of any age.
