Women As Old As 78 Get Transformed Into Pin-Up Girls, And The Result Will Surprise You
Even in your twilight years, you are still entitled to feel attractive and sexy, if you wish. Chrissy Sparks, from Birmimgham, UK, is a master of incredible boudoir photography, and is able to bring the best out in any woman using make-up, lighting and editing techniques.
“I want everyday women to have access to a full photoshoot experience and magazine cover style images that models usually do,” Chrissy told the Mirror. “Through my work, I celebrate women of all shapes and sizes and believe that with the right posing, lighting and styling, I can bring out the best in a woman’s beauty.”
From her Birmingham studio Dollhouse Photography, which has over $250,000 worth of lingerie, corsets, dresses, costumes and other accessories, Chrissy and her team shoot women of all ages. It is, however, the older ladies that have the most startling transformations. “After the photoshoot I work on the photographs in post-production,” she says. “I remove cellulite, muffin tops, scars, bruises, spots and uneven skin tone. “I also reduce lines & wrinkles, smooth the silhouette and enhance muscle tone.”
“The reasons they want a shoot are varied – it could be something just to make them feel sexy. I have a knack at assessing a client’s face, skin and posture to look past signs of ageing and capture images that bring out the best in a woman.”
“Most mature clients want to look well for their age and are not interested in chasing after their youth.”
While Chrissy acknowledges that many of her clients arrive very nervous and with body hangups, she says that the results of the photoshoots often do wonders for self-esteem. “The reactions have been everything from bursting into tears of delight, thank you cards and gifts, and many heart warming accounts of how the shoot has boosted their self esteem and confidence,” she says.
“Seeing the women so happy with their images makes the long hours and huge personal investment into the business worth every bit.”

It's a good way to remind that inside every grandma lives a young and wild girl XD
When I wake up I feel 18, until I pass the mirror
Load More Replies...Everyone looks better when you photoshop their wrinkles away. What's the point of this?
It's not only Photoshop, but also make up, poses, lighting... Result is great :)
Load More Replies...Why make her look like something she’s not? Everyone is beautiful and unique in my perspective
Really? So on a dating website you literally would be absolutely indiscriminate because everyone's beautiful? Liar.
Load More Replies...Love love love. This would have done wonders for their self esteem I'll bet. Older women are still hot AF :)
The degree of photoshop is beyond insulting, but whatever. As long as they are happy.
I love this!! Women in this age group rarely feel beautiful and sexy. Bravo to the photographer for creating these gorgeous photos, and for boosting the self confidence of these lovely ladies!!
I love the idea, but it's a shame they used so much photoshop. Like wrinkles are ugly on older women. They're not, everyone gets them eventually.
not me, I have a picture in the attic that takes care of that for me
Load More Replies...They already looked beautiful. I honestly like the picture of just them better.
Yes, it Helps everyone, including models and filtered instagram selfie queens.
Load More Replies...I'm not against women dressing how they want etc. And I'm 57 myself. But is this the only way we can judge these women, by their bodies, and how they look? Is it not enough that they have years of experience, personality, are human being for goodness sake. I'm sick of women being judged on how they look. I'm sick of women being judged, full stop. The internet has a heck of a lot to answer for.
So you photoshopped out all the parts of them that the media would like to convince us is ugly, which just furthers the convention that being old is gross and old women should hide away? I don't think that's admirable. You either get old, or you don't. Pretending it's not going to happen is useless.
I really don't like these. I love photographers that can find beauty in real people and show that beauty with minimal post-processing. Sure, even out skin tone or soften cellulite, but these women have been photoshopped into caricatures of themselves, all their uniqueness and beauty have been removed.
These women were beautiful as they were. No photoshop needed. True beauty comes from the soul not a photoshopped photoshoot.
great looking women I believe all women look gorgeous when they have a make over,most women have to wear make-up.
YOU MUST READ THIS DON’T SCREW DOWN/UP WITHOUT READING THIS GOOD DAY TO YOU ALL I am very sorry to interrupt you with my below financial story, I know it will help a soul.... I can see thousands of people have also been scammed online due to the internet smart scammers, I have and I was also scammed by this internet smart scammers or group of people until I meet with Mrs. Diane an old time friend online on my face book list who introduced me to WORD INSTANT CASH REFLECTION online genuine LOAN ORGANISATION, when she first told me after I discuss with her that I am in need of a Loan and how I was been scammed by more than one lenders, when she first told me about wordinstantcashreflection@yahoo.com that all I need to do is trust them and follow all the instructions they are going to give to me, I said to myself I am not going to believe her simply because I have been scammed times without numbers online before I meet with her online, but some few minutes after Mrs. Diane send to me wor
I’m amazed at so many negative comments. No one forced these women to pose for these photos. They chose to pose! If it was a bunch of 20-somethings doing these photo shoots and having their “flaws” erased by the photographer, you’d all be ooing and aahing over the photos. Typical of society, you dismiss and diminish older women for attempting to recapture their vitality and sensuality, if just for a little while. Why should photo shoots like these be wasted on the young and “beautiful”? The old and haggard need a pick-me-up just as much. Maybe more.
I don’t want to be sexy when I’m old. I just want to be me and love myself for who I am. Why does the internet keep putting pressure on women? :( Why not interesting older women instead?
i like the idea but i honestly don't get why try to make 50-something women look like they're in their 30s. toom uch aribrushing and photoshopping, they would look way better with less editing. some pics are scary and that's not certainly because of the model.
The crazy photoshopped bodies with the older looking faces just looks...wrong. Especially with the trend of not photoshopping women to within an inch of their lives right now. But I guess body positivity means different things to different people.
Our hands and faces age quicker than our bodies, but that doesn't mean we're old. Inside every older lady is a young woman. Age is just a number. These ladies are HOT.
Jenny would have loved this (crazy cat lady where I lived, maybe 80 years old..? sweet as treacle and was apparently known as "the bod" in her youth)
whilst this is cute it would have been a lot more empowering for them, as well as inspirational if not so much photoshop was used. they can still be beautiful wihtout all that.
They all look alike, have the same lifted chin pose, and have been airbrushed to death. Neither pretty nor dignified.
'Old, wrinkled' lady here...To all of you yapping about 'photoshop' and how these ladies are 'objectified'.. THEY CHOSE THIS! They LOVE how they look, AND they were GRACIOUS enough to share their happiness with others. We have boudoir photo shoots here in the States, and they are super popular.
I see a lot of negativity in the comments but the truth is almost every image we see these days has been edited this much every famous actor every model gets this kind of treatment. It's nice to be pampered and feel as pretty as can be even if it does involve editing. we are often so critical of ourselves that we don't appreciate our own good features until we see them dressed up a bit.
Absolutely gorgeous! Wonderful work! And bringing happiness to these women is, of course, the best part.
BUT WHY? For me, disgusting, unnecessary, vulgar, unrealistic. Sad.
I once got a professional headshot (for theatre) that looked about 100 times better than I really do. I ended up using it for a lot of things in addition to theatre, but I would often see looks of disappointment when people saw what I looked like naturally. But hey, if these ladies are having fun and enjoying the photos, go for it, I say! :-)
This would be great if the models looked relaxed and happy. But they don't. Not at all.
What you have done is awesome. If I could come to you for a photo shoot I would be there.
A bit too much anti-wrinkle photoshop, imo, but the costumes and poses are fab!
I like the idea but shame on the dreadful 3 repeated poses. Arm up behind head and erm...arm up behind head a bit lower down, and other arm behind head. Also seeing the naked armpit is not a flattering pose for anyone. Well dressed up, but really amateurish photographer..
Hubba Hubba!! This has given me hope as I approach 50! HOW did they make those wrinkles disappear like that? These women are so gorgeous. I am completely envious and in love with their transformations. I really dig their new styles and looks. Reminds me of long gone decades. WOW!
I have to say wow wow wow wish I looked half as good as these fine woman!
Why is it that in my head it screams. . . MILF? yet it's amazing how they become gorgeous.
My favourite is Joanna! Well, yes photoshop was used. But what counts is their poses, facial expressions and eyes! Fabulous results. Very feminine and so much energy ...
Something like this can make any woman feel beautiful again, sometimes age and time, plus life can take its toll
OMG Jane, age 65 (the picture of her in the red dress) Her smirk is so adorable!

You'll throw yourself at anyone that has the audacity of body shaming a fat chick, but when some oldster wants a few cheeky photos of themselves - well that's just stupid. Gawd what a bunch of hypocrites. Get over yourselves, either everyone is unique and ok in what body they currently have, and can wear whatever however they feel like, or it's not. Lose the f*****g ageism you pathetic fobs.
People your photoshop comments doesn't apply so shut up and crawl back into your holes....the point is they loved it and felt fabulous.
*Facepalm* Ugggh I don't even know where to start with you.
