{Cindy Crawford - Role Model & Super Model}

One of the Super Models that I've always admired is Cindy Crawford, as she also is a Role Model.
Cindy lost her brother Jeff to Leukemia when she was 9 years old and she has two sisters, Chris and Danielle.

Cindy Crawford has been and still is down to earth.
"To make money as a young girl, I worked in a store, cleaned houses & worked in cornfields. When I started modeling I treated it like a job, not a lifestyle".

 "I didn't smoke or bake in the sun | The payoff is in your 40s and beyond"

"I don't look the same as I did 20 years ago, nor should I. Sometimes I get that little pang, like 'Oh, bummer, I wish I did.' But at the same time, I see my children and I see them growing up and I look at my husband and the marriage that we've worked on and have together, and if all that is good and working, it's a lot easier to be kind to your little fine lines or where gravity's gotten the better of you".

I never liked the term "supermodel." It sounded silly, like we changed into capes in a telephone booth. But for what it's worth...here's my model-in-a-cape meets #wonderwoman moment for you!

How did you pull off your career without Instagram?

  2. Liebe Mariette,
    das wäre nie ein Job für mich - ich glaube, es ist kein leichter Job - immer im Rampenlicht -
    immer schön sein müssen - im Winter Kleidung für den Sommer und im Sommer umgekehrt
    zeigen - allerdings hatte ich auch nie eine Model-Figur so wie du - du bist immer noch eine sehr schöne und attraktive Frau - du kannst alles tragen und wirkst so jung - beneidenswert -

    hab ein schönes Wochenende -

    liebe Grüße - Ruth

    1. Liebe Ruth,
      Nein Danke, auch nicht für mich! Man muss die Camera schon lieben und immer unterwegs.
      Mit meiner Figur habe ich genetisch Glück gehabt meine ich. Bin so froh das ich in der USA lebe wo es Gott sei Dank Kleider für meine Grosse gibt wegen viele Asiatische Frauen. In den Niederlanden musste ich immer die grössere Kinderkleidung kaufen und dass fand ich schlimm! Es hat also immer zwei Seiten...
      Liebe Grüsse zum Wochenende.

  3. Hello Mariette, It sounds like Ms. Crawford has a sense of humor as well as a sense of balance.

    1. Dearest Jim,
      Indeed, beside her natural beauty she possesses a healthy dose of humor and her life proves that she's quite a balanced person.
      Kindest regards,
      Mariette

  4. Dearest Mariette; As you might guess, I have no knowledge about he. But from the phrase you introduced here, she sure sounds the lady who is 'down to earth', isn't she☆☆☆
    I got busy again today and too sleepy to visit other friends (tomorrow is another day!)
    Night Night from Japan, Dear friend.
    Sending Lots of Love and Hugs to my Dear Japanese friend in America, xoxo Miyako*

      Well, she was to begin with an American super model that worked a lot in Europe for top designers and she graced numerous magazines but since you're not involved in fashion, it might be hard knowing her. Indeed, she is a very spontaneous and nice down to earth person!
      Hope you enjoy a nice weekend!
      Hugs to you dear friend.

  5. Lieve Mariette ,
    Ook bij de modelen is het niet altijd "rozengeur en maneschijn ".
    Soms kan het best wel zwaar zijn om een model te zijn..
    Een fijn weekend...
    Heel veel liefs

    1. Lieve Nieneke,
      Nee, het zal beslist geen gemakkelijk leven zijn om zo te reizen en altijd maar er mooi en uitgerust te moeten uit zien!
      Velen gaan helemaal de mist in, net als de meeste filmsterren omdat door het vele geld vaak de moraal verloren gaat.
      Een fijne nieuwe week!
      Liefs,
      Mariette

  7. Great post ... Cindy has always been such a real gal in a not so real industry. And she is proof that aging can be done with grace and style ... we need more gals like her! xo

    1. Dearest Celia,
      She sure has been a real gal and very spontaneous. Coming from very humble beginnings helps and I guess that did stay with her throughout. It would be a blessing indeed if we had more of that kind of role models.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  8. A down-to-earth super-model seems an oxymoron, but she seems to be one!

      Yes, I wish more super models would set such an example and teaching the young women some real values.
      We did have a rough and rainy Saturday but today was lovely.
      Wishing you a sunny new week with some golf opportunities.
      Hugs to you,
      Mariette

  10. Good Afternoon Mariette, Cindy Crawford is a beautiful women and has accepted growing older with such grace. Part of life is aging. Of course I wish I still looked like I did when I was younger, but what are a few lines when I know George loves me as I am, as do both of my daughters, and that makes me so very happy.
    Best Wishes to you.

    1. Dearest Daphne,
      Yes, a few lines don't make any difference to the inner beauty of any woman. At least Cindy has shown some valuable things to do and above all, not to do, for young women.
      Growing old gracefully is a blessing!
      Hugs to you,
      Mariette

  11. Liebe Mariette,

    Rauchen und Braten in der Sonne schaden nicht nur der Haut. Sehr lebensklug von dieser Dame. Von dem Begriff Super-Model halte ich auch nicht viel. Das sind Menschen wie Du und Ich und werden künstlich hochgepusht, oft unter Schädigung ihrer Gesundheit. Auch sind sie eindeutig überbezahlt. Andere Menschen arbeiten viel mehr und härter in Berufen, die ihnen keinen Spaß machen, weil das für sie eine Lebensnotwendigkeit ist.

    Liebe Grüße auch hier
    Sara

    1. Liebe Sara,
      Ja, die Cindy ware bestimmt sehr lebensklug um nicht zu rauchen und zu braten in der Sonne; schon damit ist sie ein gutes Vorbild für die Jugend.
      Du hast aber völlig Recht mit den Unterschied von Überbezahlung... Schade das es solche riesige Unterschiede in dieser Welt halt gibt.
      Liebe Grüsse,
      Mariette
