I love this woman. I am close to her age and understand many of the things she speaks about. Her brains are just as great as her beauty.
Iam glad someone else thinks brains and heart’s are important in life not just beautiful faces 👍
I agree~
@@denicepeterson626 Thank you. She seems to be so forgotten now. It's sad.
Thank you!
Thank you!
I am 73 and notice that having vanished from turning heads some five years ago , I have felt gratitude that I was noticed for so many years , although never photogenic . I learnt as a young women that if the men you love don’t see you as *you and respect the *you beyond the looks then your not truly loved , from the looks perspective and sexual attraction being the main reason to love a women will for sure end badly , some men are very limited , women who stay with men like that are also limited . This obsession with one’s looks and the disappointment of discovering you have not met a man of depth is the learning curve that hurts the most.
*it is not discovering your getting older therefor you are not worth loving ,which is utter nonsense. If you know what love is you know that no age limit exists*
Great discussion. Thank you for championing womens' aging. I'm 57 and have noticed I've become more invisible and I love it because with more invisibility is more freedom. I don't care to impress anyone by my looks and love to move around in the world unbothered and feeling free.
I'm currently on a streak of her interviews bc I find her point of view very fascinating and inspiring. she never talks badly about her husband who has passed even though she has reason to do so, which is very kind of her. but I can't help but remark that he was 40 and she was 19 when they first met. she doesn't (to my knowledge) problematize that fact in her interviews and their marriage lasted for a very long time, so the situation isn't black and white. but she did mention the attractiveness of naivité in young girls to men. that fact is very true in my own experience and so, so heartbreaking.
I recall a black and white photo of Georgia O'keefe in profile, handling a lump of clay. She was in her nineties I think, her face wrinkled, her hair in that iconic bun, her long beautiful hands, wrinkled too....how beautiful I thought ( I was 14). I've always thought old women were beautiful.....not least of which my beloved grandmother, wrinkled, blissfully fat (I loved her whole body hugs!, soft and enveloping!)...and a fabulous laugh ....that still lightens my heart to recall it...
That’s beautiful bonesj
so much for us men to learn of your conversation...grateful
Wow! What a interview. So much wisdom and beauty in both of you! I'm a bit blown away. This is something more people need to hear and dear to live. Thank you Paulina for being so
vulnerable and honest! Sending you so much love. 🤍🤍🙏🙏
Just turned 50 last month and these women speak to me and are challenging my own views on ageing.
Paulina is such an inspiration for women. ❤
Tami and paulina are both beautiful and make me feel my best!
loved this convo. something that came to mind was some interview from Julia Fox where she said being a girl in your 20's is the fu*kin trenches.
i Love the way older woman today are starting to embrace their natural aging process, and express their beauty in ways that makes them feel and look attractive and fabulous despite the wrinkles and aging changes. I know as a 65 year old woman I totally enjoy women who are embracing and expressing their older beauty and having fun with, whether it is with make up or clothing or healthy lifestyles. And are teaching and sharing their ideas and techniques, thoughts and experiences.
Good for you Paulina. A great interview!!
Fantastic! Thank you x
Wonderful conversation
Wonderful interview - finding beauty in all types of people and taking the time to listen and have patience....sometimes just 5 more minutes ... fabulous and true ❤
Bless you Paulina ✨✨✨✨
Thumbs up given in first minute!!
She is right. even the young ones can’t attain the beauty standard they can for a while and then it all falls apart as we get onto our late 30’s. It’s kind of crazy because even if I see a young beautiful woman I just think for now.
Good for you Paulina in saying the Truth of how offensive it is to hear that statement!
Wow I did the same thing in middle school I wrote little plays and we acted them out ❤❤ also a ferocious reader
So did I! I was shocked when she said that.
Love you Both!!!!
Great interview...thank you. I wonder too, how much is biologically wired into us. Not just procreation...but what we see as beautiful. I remember as a little girl, being really attracted to certain characters on TV because I thought they were beautiful. I was very young...so I wouldn't have been programmed yet to know what was considered beautiful in society....nor would I have been influenced by my peers. I'm 64, so in my childhood, there was no social media that would have molded my views. Not sure if commercials would have played a part or not in my young age. I am an artist, so I try to see beauty in all things. I will confess though...when I look in the mirror, my neck and platysma bands really bother me... even while I'm telling myself that nothing is good or bad but for thinking so... yet it's still hard to override the internal judgement and shame emotions. I love the idea of Paulina helping direct a new approach to modeling and the beauty industry ... there are many, many of us that want that.
We’ll said Paulina, we’ll thought out, the intricacies of how this plays out, under the radar, in regards to men’s psychological reasonings (lol), but well done, excellently thought out reasonings and motivations of men and how this plays out by them, in life. ✅😀 Wow, v true (little chuckle) .
She is gorgeous.
Like the tree example, v true
I am 55. Beauty is not only defined by men. It is also defined overall as able, thin, & white. That is, & has been the societal standard. Thumbnail is me at 53. A retired actress / singer. Wheelchair, & crutch user. From birth. I grew up knowing from a very early age. 1. That I was beautiful, & 2. That I was not supposed to be. The reactions. The shock, & bias, attached to the use of a chair. While looking like I did. Were just so pronounced. I could not miss them. Literal cartoon like reactions. As I got older. I realized what was causing such dissonance. Generally as a group. As part & parcel of the overarching bias. We are at once infantilized, & asexualized. All that said. I was not feeling, or necessarily seeing myself that way. I was the only wheelchair user ln class. (1975 ) It was about that same time. ln music class. I also was singled out for my voice. I sang songs at home. with my mother. As she played guitar. Until the music teacher stopped everything. Asked me to sing alone, & put me in the talent show. I had no idea, that not everyone. Could sing. Nor that once again. I was shattering the box. They kept trying to shove me into. Societal boxes are all around us. They are nothing new. The question / choice is. Will you conform. Keeping yourself small. Uniform. For the comfort of others. Choosing cookie cutter definitions. Instead of your own. Or. Be yourself. A flawed, complex, beautifully unique. Multi-faceted. Human.
She got prettier when she got older. Seen her on TV and I was like no wonder she's gorgeous she was a supermodel
Nothing is unforgivable when we expand our ability to forgive. Forgiving doesn't mean you make the action acceptable, it just releases you from your suffering, Paulina. I know a lot about forgiveness, as I've had to learn to forgive a lot, as well as ask to be forgiven when I made a lot of bad mistakes in my life. Forgiveness is crucial, Paulina, and i would encourage you to work harder at it for your own well being. If I may help, I would glad share all I know for free and recommend some good books on the subject for you. Thank you for the interview Tami. I really didn't like your negative comments about men, but I forgive you.
View of beauty is biological largely. There is the flower of youth and fertility / strength and there is the beauty of crone / sage wisdom. They are different, and wise women and men will accept the transition and not expect to be seen the same way their whole lives.
We’re 60 plus, but have no gray hair. Well maybe a few strays in the bangs, which we occasionally put in a wash in rinse, golden highlights or a red tint. And we use it now and then, be it’s such a gorgeous glow, have been told. But, we have v few gray hairs and know a 40 yr old young lady, actually in her 30’s, had some gray hairs where we didn’t. Today, sh3 has a lot more gray hairs in the crown, but she’s v pretty and a nice person. But, the point….gray hair, for example, apparently, is all relative. Their 20 yrs younger than us and they have more gray hairs than us. We only have a few strays. So, it’s relative, can’t really put an age on it, specifically, necessarily.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
She’s a dolly. Like the story of the cab driver, conversation.
I love the pool and the puddle woman 💕👏👏
I would buy a beauty product from someone who looks like Paulina - because I would believe it more - as she has way less wrinkles than me! - the gap between me and the worked on face of a JLo is so vast I wouldn’t believe it.
I'm sure that Rick's wife felt invisible when Paulina started her affair with him when she was a teenager and he was in his forties. I'm sure she felt even more invisible when Rick divorced her to marry Paulina. Granted, Paulina is the most beautiful supermodel that I have ever seen.
Sigue siendo tan hermosa que solo quieres verla 🤷🏻♂️🙉
Just enjoy compliments....many cannot and do not want to spend time and money on their looks as they age. This is a conversation that could shame many older people. And one can lose looks and style if one is battle weary - and so what?
Well said!
Paulina can come sit at my table, anytime!
I was thinking today about how people who didn't know my grandmother, who was in her 90's at the time, assumed she wouldn't be able to hear or wouldn't remember basic things. They couldn't have been more wrong. Also, not one hair on her head was ever colored and she had very little gray hair. Since I was 18 not one hair on my head has been it's natural color for more than an inch of it's life... LOL 🤣😂
The wall.

Good question to Paulina, Moderator. We have an answer, that immediately came up! Answer, True Answer: The Lover of our Souls, as His child, His daughters….The Lord….our dear Heavenly Father, our Creator and our beloved….Our Lord Jesus Christ, and his plan, who gave His Life For us. How many men have done that? Ty
there is so much more to being a women then what they look like> We are fellow human beings trying to get through the day like everyone else. give us a break!!!
I can’t believe people care and say these things to you. I don’t know why you can be beautiful and older version of yourself.
How women see women and men see men is inseparable from how men see women and how women see men.
Extremely interesting interviewer. The interviewee, not so much.
Huh?
try intermittent fasting instead? x
I am a 62 year old man and I am becoming MORE attractive each day. Every day women stop and stare at me, ask me for my phone number, invite me to have drinks or even, the creepy ones, directly proposition me. And it’s just getting worse as I age. If they are very young I check their ID to make sure that they are over 18, but I’m worrying that some might be borrowing their big sister’s. It’s so much stress.
LOL you are delusional.
I don’t know why we’re talking about beauty and aging with Paulina. It doesn’t really make sense to talk about human issues to a goddess.
Ok, she can not capitalize from her youth and beauty in any way any more, she lost all assets in this area, and she is astonished and bitter about it. Why and how is possible not to notice it, as a child you can see how people are treated, all people, and children too. Polina was objectified, not just as any young beautiful woman, but as a happy collaborator in the slavery system called modeling, which is mainly criminal, and also ideological and political, other then entertainment, business or art, as presented by their own marketing. This lady is like a character from The Zone of Interest, unlike many other top models that are very vocal and clear about their experiences, trauma, rapes, abuse and criminal behavior toward minors and young models in fashion business.
