While I agree that it's important for women over 35 to feel good about themselves, I think it's even more important for ALL women to feel good about themselves. WE are not one-dimensional! WE are not all a size 2! WE are not all over 6ft tall! ..and WE can't all afford plastic surgery/personal trainers/personal cooks/spa get-a-ways! My lips are full- naturally, I am 5ft 2 inches, dark-toned, with a strong athletic body, 43 and oh, yeah- considered hot for my age! --but, do you think I could get a modeling contract? More importantly, I work 5 days a week, work out most days of the week, run half-marathons, like helping others, and I'm not obsessed with what others think of me. However, while others are certainly entitled to their opinion of me, MINE is the only one that really matters. There is so much more to ALL women. Isn't it time we stop letting others assign to us degrees of value and beauty? WE are ALL beautiful! WE belong to ourselves! WE are NOT property or pieces of art with assigned value. Isn't it time WE decide our own value and worth..at any age? In my opinion, most models-but certainly not all, are neither physically or mentally healthy -how can they be when the industry truly does not-and could not, support it? Let's focus on health, wellness, family, community spirit and REAL beauty, which is exactly what? ..My point, exactly!!
