This double whammy of exposure garnered quite a lot of attention! "I'll have what she's having," article after article exclaimed, while proclaiming "60's the New 30!" And those articles got me thinking: What am I doing right that I could share with other people? And if I keep it up, who knows? I could be writing my third beauty book in another thirty years. The idea to write this book was prompted by the fact that People magazine celebrated my Big Six-O by placing me on their cover in a bathing suit.Īt the same time, Sports Illustrated (who made me the first model to be on the cover of their legendary swimsuit edition three times in a row) was celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of their bestselling franchise, and they coaxed me into a bikini for a TV commercial. I NEVER imagined that I would be writing another beauty book thirty years later, or that I would STILL be modeling! But here I am today, doing BOTH! I wanted to share what I had learned growing up on the beach in Malibu and what I'd picked up from a fascinating industry that had taken me from California surfer girl to cover girl. Well, ten years later, at twenty-nine years of age and miraculously still in possession of a bustling modeling career, I wrote my first beauty book. The rule of thumb was "This business will chew you up and spit you out long before you turn thirty!" OO LA LA! I was asked to become a model while living in Paris, working as an "artiste." This was way back in the day, when the thinking was that at my ripe old age of nineteen, I might already be too old for the business.
