Thanks for your posts! I hope we´ll see more from you! Yes, both videos are great. Just I don´t understand why she wears sunglasses in this one interview. I think this is unpolite, no matter what "in" they had been that time. For the other video I think she looks a bit lost, very shy. Quote

You're the best missp Thanks! These days actresses have more glamour and charisma. Guess that´s why they put them on the cover of the big fashion magazines and not these young girls. People may be not that much interested longer who the girls on the covers are and if they see an actress they like it gives maybe the kick to buy it. Indeed there had been magazines I didn´t buy, because I didn´t like the model on the cover. I don´t like the politics fashion magazines follow by showing us teenagers and think we should try to compete while we´re in our 30s or 40s. I would take them for more serious if they would give us more real women on the covers. So crazy this might sound, but these days women might identify themselves more with family-mum Angelina Jolie than with a Doutzen Kroes. At least Angelina (or any other famous actress) has much more to show of interest. And from all the rainbow press she seems to be known for us so well now like our neighbour. The 80s models had been so-o REAL. For a todays cover it´s all worked and edited with software to give a perfect illusion. You can´t longer believe what you see. Too much fake and perfectionism just bores. And if you can chose between a perfect beauty and a beauty who will you go for? That´s why for me it´s Renée with her beautiful smile, but teeth I wouldn´t like to swap with. Quote

missparker7 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I couldn't say it better,missp & snmkytkn.Models used to be elegant and classy while being beautiful and sexy.In an attractive way,not trying-to-hard-to-be-sexy.To me,you are either sexy or not.Being nearly nude doesn't make you sexy.Nowadays the famous models don't do much modeling as much as posing nearly nude in underwear.I sadly miss the days of the classic mags.,Vogue,Harper's Bazaar,Elle,Cosmo,Tatler,etc.when they were jam packed with beautiful models actually modeling beautiful clothing.Instead of laying around in various stages of undress.I agree,these women are treated and viewed as pieces of meat.Although,by their own doing as they can accept the type of jobs they want to do.Well,back to topic.Just my opinion.Thanks missp,for always adding such gorgeous pictures. Hi Bronx-Bomber! Thanks for your opinion. I agree with you. Just thursday in the waiting-room of my dentist I had the January issue of the german VOGUE magazine in hands and at the fashion-editorials I just wondered and thought "what´s this?". The model on the cover is a Isabeli Something-brazil and she´s also featured inside with her husband at the editorial part and this looks more like a "soft-porn" than fashion to me. When did they start to forbid the cover-girls to smile B I G ? It was fun to flip through a 80s fashion magazine, but now it´s just depressing. Quote

It was fun to flip through a 80s fashion magazine, but now it´s just depressing. " from MissP. That is exactly why I am still keeping my magazines from 80s and early 90s whereas I quickly get what I want and throw the rest of the magazine out if I ever buy a recent issue. :D Quote
