Happy Birthday, Mayor Bloomberg!

As of today, Michael Bloomberg has been the mayor of New York City during his fifties, sixties, and seventies, having taken office at the tender age of 59. On this Valentine’s Day, he turns 70, but, for whatever reason, local media has found some experts say he doesn’t look his age. A pair of “image consultants” tell The Wall Street Journal today, “He hasn’t really changed that much,” and, “It doesn’t look like he’s aged at all.” Bloomberg, they say, looks “fantastic … fabulous … very cool, sort of unscathed, unchanged.” In actuality, he’s tied as the oldest mayor to ever oversee all five boroughs since 1898. And yet: Diane Von Furstenberg called him “so hot” yesterday, Gaga got a kiss, and he has his own younger gal. He’s basically a billionaire George Clooney, but with more experience.

Happy Birthday, Mayor Bloomberg!
