Pamela H in Texas Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I am surprised a woman her age can pull off that red! Boy does she though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 I love the red too. I've considered allowing my hair to gray naturally, since I don't want the hassle of coloring all the time. So how do you do that without looking dowdy? How do you get past the salt-and pepper phase still looking good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the Rain Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 :001_smile: She is beautiful. I didn't realize there were any "older" runway models, but the article mentioned a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Wow! She is gorgeous! It's those cheekbones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 She is beautiful...and for the right amount of money, you CAN look like her in your 80's (because that is definitely NOT au natural). ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterflymommy Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 She is beautiful...and for the right amount of money, you CAN look like her in your 80's (because that is definitely NOT au natural). ;) I've read about her before. She says she's never had any surgeries and looking at her pics I believe her... she is wearing a ton of makeup in that picture though! If she has had surgery it's nothing heavy duty. Those cheekbones are the real thing. The funny thing about her is that in her younger years she was pretty but not especially gorgeous. She actually looks better as an older lady!

LaxMom Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yes, she really is. But OMG are those SHOULDER PADS?!?! Ugh. I hated the 80s fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorMom Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It says she's had fillers injected, but no surgeries. She is beautiful. Very impressive..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marple Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 LOL! Well, I'm trying to pull it off. I, frankly, think that as women age they should let their hair do the same. I have seen many ghoulish looking women with wrinkly skin sporting jet black hair or rust red hair - blech! If it looks natural during that in-between phase (not young, but not too old) that's fine. It is just when you can look and say, "That is definitely colored", then it's time to let go and go natural, IMO :) There are ladies I've known for 20 years who have not changed their hairstyle or color. I could not do that - I love change :) I think the key is to pick a style for your hair that looks good on your face :) And as your face ages and changes, your hairstyle should as well. FWIW, I have had lots of compliments on my hair. It's still in the "getting grey" stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 She is elegant looking. I have this sneaking suspicion that since I haven't looked like a super-model for my entire life, I won't look like one when I'm eighty, either :lol:.

DawnM Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I am not sure about that. http://www.vogue.co.uk/beauty/2012/07/27/carmen-dell-orefice-plastic-surgery---model-age-81 I've read about her before.
