Sun City Poms

  • Todd Antony
Sun City is a retirement city of around 37,000 people just outside of Phoenix, Arizona that I stumbled across on my travels a few years ago. And after a bit of digging discovered that amongst others, a group of 12 ladies called the Sun City Poms reside there.

An absolutely brilliant bunch of ladies and visually complimented by the Tim Burton-esque/Stepford Wives like, perfectly manicured streets of orange trees, cactus and coloured stone chip lawns around Sun City.

While I was there I couldn’t help but think that with the American obsession for child beauty pageants, you have one age group of society trying to grow up way too fast, while at the other end of the age scale another group strives to hold back the years in some way.
