Heh Heh. I've been battling ageism since I was born. It is a steady very predictable slope.

Looking Good

I'll be in my bunk.

there is still time!!

To me at least, a big part of being attractive is taking care of oneself. All of us are born with different assets and liabilities. While Hollywood may be about what are born with (or what you were born with looks like after a lot of work has been done), I’m more interested in what folks have done with what they’ve got. No question that Paulina got a head start as far as what she was born with, but it is beyond question that she has been taking care of herself and has stayed fit. Good for her. Even better for her that she clearly has a head on her shoulders which is not just a hat rack or a home for a pretty face.

I took this piece as something very humble and honest in recognizing we all get older and become somewhat invisible to the world around us. Maybe you personally just aren't there yet. Paulina has had her hands in a number of ventures over the past 25 years, and virtually none of them has anything to do with trading on her looks.

I'm one year older than Paulina so I'm there as well. I didn't read it as a humble piece but a "whoa is me I'm older and not getting the attention like the younger girls are but wait someone did pay me some attention and yay I'm in the swimsuit edition albeit as a token nod to inclusivity for its own sake but I've still got it so there" piece.

If she's done other things that haven't been based on her looks that's great. She should be talking about that rather than sharing her nightmares about not getting attention because of her age, but she's not.

Yes, we all get older. Yes, if you're trying to get the same attention with your looks that you did in your 20's you're setting yourself up for failure. Yes, she looks good for her age but so what. I read it as a whiny bit a pap and nothing more. YMMV.

Christie Brinkley is looking pretty good at 65 too!

I never heard of her but I'll tell you what, for a old battle ax...

Correct me if I am wrong but, besides SI making her famous in her younger years, wasn’t she also the clerk helping Clark W. Griswold in Christmas Vacation? And then visiting him in his pool dream later in the movie?

A lot of guys my age read the SI Swimsuit issue and thought about what an awesome date/girl/wife she would make. I can tell you for one, that hasn't changed a bit

Although I would bet if she was bumped 40 years ago from a prime spot by a 54 year old woman, she would have had a fit.

That was Nicolette Scorsese as Mary (lingerie salesgirl) in 1989.
No relation to the director Martin Scorsese, the model-turned-actress played Clark Griswold’s fantasy girl, after she helps him with some holiday shopping. Smoking hot in that film.

"Can't see the lines can ya Russ?"

Growing up, she was my favorite model. I believe at 1 time in the 90's she was the highest paid model in the world. I believe it was when she was under contract with Estée Lauder.

Thank you!!!

Her husband is 70. Been married since 89.

I thought she and Ric O had separated or divorced?

How can you be sure someone hasn’t been using world class photoshop skills?

I'm sure she's still naturally beautiful but I can also assure you that she is heavily Photoshopped. That's a big part of my job.

If every single piece of food gets color corrected and retouched you can be sure every model does.

betty white called , she said "Boo effing Hoo"
