Belonging as I do to an organisation for older women, (see my link to Growing Old Disgracefully), I often find myself playing with words around the conditions of old age and femaleness. Hence this alphabet, which is one of two being written at the time, so I had to search hard to find different words.
An Assortment of Animated Ancients
A Bustle of Bouncing Biddies
A Carnival of Cavorting Crones
A Dance of Disgraceful Dowagers
An Eruption of Emancipated Eves
A Frolic of Flamboyant Females
A Gang of Gambolling Geriatrics
A Host of Hippy Housewives
An Invasion of Irrepressible Individuals
A Jig of Joyful Judies
A Kaleidoscope of Kinky Kinswomen
A Landscape of Lovable Lasses
A Meddle of Mischievous Matrons
A Nest of Nurturing Nannas
An Orgy of Overindulgent Oldsters
A Posse of Partying Pensionsers
A Quiver of Quarelsome Queenbees
A Romp of Riotous Returners
A Swoon of Seductive Seniors
A Tirade of Troublesome Termagants
An Uprising of Unquiet Uxores
A Vision of Vivacious Veterans
A Wealth of Wonderful Women
An X-rating of Xenophobic Xantippes
A Yoke of Yodelling Young-at-hearts
A Zest of Zany Zimmerers

I like the S one myself. Could I substitute sixties for seniors.
Or is that a bit ageist?
Well, it was designed for older women covering several decades - our oldest member is over 90, I think. But feel free to use your own adaptation of it, if you fancy.
