  • Charlize Theron Bashes Beauty Industry’s Preference For Younger Women

    Charlize Theron was recently interviewed by Women’s Wear Daily, where she bashed the beauty industry’s preference for women in their twenties.

    Theron thinks women come into their prime in their forties – after learning from life’s challenges that would have made them wiser and much more beautiful in and out.

    “It’s ironic that we’ve built the beauty world around 20-year-olds, when they have no f–kin’ concept about wisdom, what life is about, having a few relationships below [their] belt and feeling hardships, to grow into [their] skin and feel confident within [themselves] and to feel the value of who [they] are, not because of a man or because of something like that. And I think that’s such a beautiful thing,” she continued.

    “I can say this now, since I’m almost 40 and I’ve worked with a lot of design houses and a lot of people within that world. There are very, very few brands that will be brave enough to really, completely take a step back and not to try and control what is considered beautiful,” said Theron, who has been the face of the J’Adore Dior fragrance for a decade. It is believed she is planning to tie the knot with boyfriend actor Sean Penn next year.

    The 39-year-old South African native added that these reasons are why she feels women really come into their own later in life.

    “And that’s why I think people say women come into their prime in their forties. And then for some reason our society just wants to go… It’s such a misconception, and it’s such a lost opportunity because that’s when I think women are really in the true moment of their sensuality…”

    On being a mother to two-year-old son Jackson, the actress says she wants to be an example of someone who has truly lived life. “I want him to grow up with a mom that he could see and look at her life with all the mistakes and with all the failures and all the flaws and say, ‘My mom lived an authentic life. That was the life she wanted to live.’”

  • Christie Brinkley Is The Embodiment Of A Barbie Doll

    Sixty-year-old supermodel Christie Brinkley recently attended the Barbie Celebrates The 50th Anniversary Of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit party where she looked like a real-life version of the internationally-celebrated Mattel doll. With long, blonde curls and a bright smile, Brinkley mirrored the image of the popular doll. The blonde model-turned-powerhouse-guru appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit roughly thirty-five years ago yet still looks as flawless now as she did then.

    Barbie has recently been recognized in the 2014 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which is currently available for purchase in stores. The party served as a means to further promote the doll’s appearance in the famous magazine. The fancy event took place on Monday in New York City and included a list of well-known recognizable beauties. Model Irina Shayk, Carol Alt, Rachel Hunter, Petra Nemcova, and Daniela Pestova were all in attendance at the star-studded event in order to participate in the festivities honoring the beloved collectible.

    Though Christie Brinkley serves as the living, breathing embodiment of the Barbie doll for many fans, the 60-year-old supermodel explains how she has continued to remain at the forefront of the beauty industry. Brinkley credits her youthful appearance and healthy figure to none other than hard work. Brinkley explained that she maintains a strict vegan diet as well as continuing to participate in routine dermatologist-controlled “special” facials in order to evade some effects of the aging process. The beautiful celebrity proves now more than ever that age is nothing but a number.
