Ridley notes that "there are flecks of gray in the mane" and "his face has grown more gaunt."

Two things:
1. Really? because he looks the same to me.
2. Who cares?

As the commenter known as "Railsplitter" writes on the Daily News site:

HA!! Every president has aged within the first year or two in their job! Look at Clinton and Dubya! Both aged like 20 years!!! Its not an easy job haters, and no one seriously expected him to clean up this mess he inherited in 10 months!

When is the sick obsession this society has with youth (or a youthful appearance) going to end? There was a time when politicians would powder their wigs — to look older. With age comes wisdom, experience and maturity. Admirable qualities in a leader. And let's face it: Would you rather he focused on cosmeceuticals? Or Afghanistan?

After observing 100 women ages 65 to 85, Dr Patricia Pineau found that the women who wore even a small amount of make-up were more stable on their feet. "They held themselves differently to those who did not wear make-up," she said. She believes that the act of applying make-up may serve as a stretching exercise, which can help improve coordination, leading to fewer clumsy (and potentially dangerous) falls. This is bad news for all of us who can't find the time to slap on a full face each morning. On the other hand, the Telegraph points out that there is a dangerous side to cosmetics: a 2006 study found that as many of five percent of drivers have been spotted drinking, reading a map or putting on make-up at the wheel.

The gallery takes Barbie from Bob Mackie to Oscar de la Rents (not the best look) and back again. Most of these designs come from the late '90s, when Mattel went wild with designer tie-ins, but a few are earlier (Bob Mackie, anyone?) and we like to think they arose from the designers' organic love of America's plastic sweetheart. As for our faves? Well, Barbie looks classically chic in Dior New Look, but you gotta love her power-suited out in Anne Klein - dowdy hair and all. Can the golden anniversary looks really compare? One things for sure - we can't wait to find out. [VogueUK]

Section 1: How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others

The following is a description of your basic stance towards life, the
way others see you, the way you come across, the face you show to the world.
In Chapter 3 you will read about the "The Inner You: Your Real Motivation",
which describes the kind of person you are at heart and where your true
priorities lie. Read this chapter and the next one and compare them - there
may be significant differences between them, in which case "the inner you"
may not shine through and others are in for some surprises when they get to
know you at a more than superficial level. This chapter describes the
costume you wear, your role in life, while Chapter 3 talks about the real
person inside the costume.

Leo Rising:

Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, you like to be impressive and to be
seen as Somebody Special. You are not timid, meek, or self-effacing, and are
rarely content being in the background or in the subordinate position. You
are a natural leader, and do not take orders from others very well. You must
have something of your own, something creative - be it a business, a
project, a home or whatever - that you can develop and manage according to
your own will and vision. Whatever you do, you do it in a unique, dramatic,
individual way. You like to put your own personal stamp on it.

You also have a very strong sense of dignity, self-respect, and personal
honor and are deeply offended if someone treats you in a humiliating or
dishonorable way. You will rarely confront the offender - you are too proud to do so - but you will lose your affection and respect for them. You dislike pettiness and hate to be snubbed or ignored.

You admire others who are strong individuals like yourself. When you befriend someone, you are tremendously loyal, sincere, and willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make that person happy. You are very giving and generous, but your gifts are never anonymous - you expect recognition and appreciation for them. You also expect the intense loyalty that you offer to your dear ones to be reciprocated. However, you often have trouble working with people who are as strong as yourself, for you do not really cooperate or share the leading role very easily. If you are not in the leading role, you aspire to be and will compete with the person who is.

You have great heart and courage, and people often look to you for strength, encouragement, and affirmation. You always have your best face forward and rarely allow others to see you hurting, disheartened, or vulnerable. You also have a very strong need for love, admiration, appreciation, and praise, although you don't like others to realize just how important it is to you.

Your outlook on life tends to be very personal and rather self-centered. Your own self-expression, self-actualization and self-realization interests you more than anything else. You feel that if you do your best where you are, the rest of the world will take care of itself.

This goes on for about 23,000 more words, but I'm going to stop and encourage you to watch this instead:

Earlier: What To Expect Of A One Year Old

Maybe you heard already but today is Jezebel's birthday; we're one year old. What do you do with a one-year-old? Since none of us have kids, we turned to world-renowed expert Dr. Spock. His book has six sections on one-year-olds: 1. What makes them tick? 2. Avoiding injuries 3. Fears around 1 year 4.Independence and outgoingness 5. Handle them matter-of-factly 6. Nap hours are changing. Let's start at the beginning, shall we?

Around the age of one year, Dr. Spock explains, is when children "seem to realize that they're not meant to be baby dolls the rest of their lives, that they're human beings with ideas and wills of their own." Jezebel? Willful? And how. Spock also says: "One-year-olds are demon explorers. They poke into every nook and cranny, finger the carving in furniture, shake a table or anything else that isn't nailed down, want to take every single book out of the bookcase, climb onto anything they can reach, fit little things into big things, and then try to fit big things into little things. In short, they are into everything." Baby Jezebel has been into the economy, anthropology, gender studies. We definitely fingered the carving. Right on track!

As for injuries, ours were mostly psychic.

Fears around one year include frightening sounds and sights. Check, check.

As for independence, Spock says a baby becomes more daring in her experiments and explorations as the months go by.

To handle a one-year-old matter of factly, Spock says, you often must distract her. How about with pretty pictures? Or crazy insane gossip?

Lastly, naptime. Yawn. Zzzz.
