Avon Calling

My new Avon Lady is named Alan. Alan the Avon Lady. I decided I should support Alan and place an order. So I plunged into the Avon catalog: first a range of skin care products for the "20+" crowd. Moving on. Then the "30+s." Flip a few more pages. Ah, the "40+" line. But no, wait, I'm going to be 50. Shuffle some more pages. And some more. And some more. Turns out there is no "50+" section. Evidently when it comes to skin care for "50+", it's Abandon hope all ye who enter here.

Alan the Avon Lady has some explaining to do.
