I did, and I would still say that. You wouldn't happen to have her confused with Rep. Cindy Crawford, the Arkansas politician?
If you're looking at the Wikipedia article, that photo was from like a decade ago. Age is catching up with her..
2024 photo. I still wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers.
That's the problem with beauty isn't permanent. It happens to everyone from Madonna, Dick Van Dyke and Lynn Neilson. This doesn't apply to everyone tho. Tom Cruise, Scarlett Johansson and Dewayne "The Rock" Johnson have manage to be exceptions to this rule although it's much easier for men to do. In general women aren't really allowed to age. Even if there looks aren't important. I remember when the election was happening and people were dunking on Kamara Harris for having wrinkles like she isn't a woman in her 60's.
For some people looking good is literally their job and cost is no object when you’re rich.
There's also a non-financial cost to keeping up with beauty standards via plastic surgery. Madonna is a perfect example. As soon as someone gets a facelift the ageing-clock speeds up and repeated lifts have diminishing returns until a person is left with an unexpressive piece of pleather for a face. Michael Jackson's nose was also a good example of such issues.
Yeah but the cost to not looking like you're aging is going from descending a hill to falling off a cliff and landing much lower
I was looking at Insta posts from August. Difference of opinion, I guess.
