I was actually thinking about this the other day, or at least that movie!Nile is kind of in an ideal place to stop aging, because while KiKi Layne has a youthful face, she - and Nile - can bust out the mature and authoritative bearing when needed. While this may or may not completely swing whether some observers underestimate or dismiss her, I think it's a real boon for being able to hold down one identity for a long time without raising eyebrows among the neighbours or the passport office. Styled down, she can pass as a very young adult who wouldn't look out of place in a freshman university class, but put her in the right tailored clothes with a different hairstyle and a touch of dye, and she could pull off being that friend of yours whose skin is just as amazing as it was twenty years ago.
