How Old Do I Look?

I have a funny story about when Julia & I were in NYC that I forgot to write about. Picture this, we were standing in the TKTS line to get tickets for a show. I am talking to Julia and one of the security guys, who is behind me, asks Julia, pointing to me, "Is this your mom?" I turned around thinking he cannot possibly be talking about me? When I turned around, he realized that I was just a young beautiful doe and said, "oh no." I felt a little better that he said this and just felt that maybe I have old lady hair.
Julia ran to get breakfast while I continued to wait in line. I started talking to the lady behind me about where we were from and what she wants to see and what not. I was talking to her, face to face, for a good 10 minutes. In walks Julia from stage right with breakfast. When my new friend in line sees her she says to me, "This must be your daughter?" REALLY? Do I really look like I am old enough to have a 30 year old? Do I honestly look like I am in my 50's? Or does Julia really look like she is 7 years old? I WAS SPEECHLESS! I couldn't talk to her the rest of the time.
All of this occurred within 15 minutes! Once we got the tickets, we headed to McDonalds to get Julia a Dr. Pepper and figure out our plan in a warm place. So I asked the cashier at McDonalds if I looked like Julia's mom and she said no. I totally trust her opinion!!!
What do you think, am I old looking or does Julia look like she is 7-9 years old?
Does anyone have any wrinkle reducing cream they would like to recommend? Doesn't Mary Kay have a line called Timeless? Obviously I need to do something. I am only 27 and I cannot have people thinking that my friends are my kids. This is unacceptable to me!
Suggestions?
What age do we look?

Sorry...but I had to laugh, and laugh some more! Of course you DO NOT look old enough to be Julia's mother! You are a spring chick, girl. But, I would say that Julia looks young, younger than me (who is the same age as you)...

That is crazy. I never thought you looked old. Those people are crazy. I love your new hair too.

you have a beautiful face and do not look a day over 25!!! Julia, I must admit, does have something of a babyface, but come on people, let's get real - she still looks like an adult for heaven's sakes! Yeah I had a lady tell me on the bus one day that I looked good for 39!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha, that is hilarious! And it is only hilarious because you DO NOT look like a mother of a 30 year old. Julia does not look like she is 7-9 either. I don't know what those people were drinking. And your skin is beautiful.

Oh man, that is ridiculous. I would say your friend looks kind of young, but not that young. Probably the people you talked to were crazy. Maybe they were blind. Maybe they were both. Do not worry about wrinkle creams, friend.
