Sample Book Insights:
#1 Aging doesn’t have to stop you from moving forward. look after yourself as best you can by eating well, smiling, and being active, happy, and confident.
#2 I began modeling when I was teenager in Pretoria, South Africa. I was paid well for a girl my age, and I didn’t feel special or privileged about it. I just wanted to go to university and get married later.
#3 I was not the only model in Toronto in my forties. While usually I would be the only person at a modeling job who wasn’t in her teens or twenties, that was not always the case. I remember once doing a runway show where it was all older women and men.
#4 I was in my fifties when I stopped modeling. I’d been modeling for decades, but maybe it was time. I was told that nobody liked my look anymore. I decided to stop coloring my hair, and it grew out white.

#1

aging doesn’t have to stop you from moving forward. look after yourself as best you can by eating well, smiling, and being active, happy, and confident.

#2

I began modeling when I was teenager in Pretoria, South Africa. I was paid well for a girl my age, and I didn’t feel special or privileged about it. I just wanted to go to university and get married later.

#3

I was not the only model in Toronto in my forties. While usually I would be the only person at a modeling job who wasn’t in her teens or twenties, that was not always the case. I remember once doing a runway show where it was all older women and men.

#4

I was in my fifties when I stopped modeling. I’d been modeling for decades, but maybe it was time. I was told that nobody liked my look anymore. I decided to stop coloring my hair, and it grew out white.

#5

I went through a very difficult period after I went gray. It seemed as though there would be no more opportunities for me in modeling. Then I was booked for the cover of Time magazine.

#6

Everyone has their own agenda. I wanted to take advantage of whatever work opportunities existed for me, so I went down to the agency to speak my mind. My agent was irate, but I knew she was lying. The truth was that there was no work.

#7

When you are in a bad work situation that is not changing, you must look forward to your work and love it. You spend most of your waking hours working.

#8

I was determined not to leave until I had gotten what I wanted, and eventually they agreed. I should’ve done that sooner. Learn quicker than I did and you will suffer less. If it's not going to change, get out of it as soon as you can.

#9

I had always wanted to be a model, and when I was finally given the opportunity, I was excited. I had always been told I would be done by eighteen, but at seventy-one, I was the biggest I had ever been. I was happy to be able to post on my social media and website to make that happen.

#10

In America, people seem to love talking about being beautiful. I have never understood why, as in South Africa, you are more valued as a woman if you are intelligent and interesting.

#11

When you meet someone who is beautiful, you might think that you can enjoy their company. But if they are not interesting, you will quickly move away. It is better to have people like you for your personality than your outside beauty.

#12

Don’t be so sensitive about what people say to you, and try to have a sense of humor. When a man wants to date you, and you say no, he will say he can find someone younger than you. Just laugh. You don’t care what he can find; you are not interested in him, and you’re not going to be upset about it.

#13

I used to dress glam once or twice a year for my birthday or a wedding. I didn’t realize how much preparation goes into walking the red carpet. The perfect undergarment makes the dress fall nicely.

#14

I met Julia when I was forty-three years old. I had finished my second master’s degree in Toronto, and I was struggling to build my nutrition practice. My modeling career proved useful, because an agency that ran a modeling school offered me free use of an office if I would model for them and teach at their modeling school in the evenings.

#15

After Julia, I was able to put myself together for maximum impact. I was able to look as confident on the outside as I felt on the inside, and I am convinced that the success I have found in both of my careers is related to the advice she gave me about how I dressed.
