Paulina Porizkova has no negativity on her social media account. In a bold move, the stunning 57-year-old model posted a screenshot of an ugly comment and responded with measured grace. “Here’s a good follow-up comment – that resonates with a few others,” she wrote in a caption on April 29. “A 57 year old woman is ‘too old’ to pose in a bikini – no matter what she looks like. Because ‘old’ is ‘ugly’. I get comments like these every time I post a picture of my body. This is it oldest shame that puts my teeth on edge. Older men are upscale, older women are ugly. “
Paulina posted her thoughts along with photos of both the comments and a jaw photo in a white bikini showing off her flawless physique. The troll’s comments accused the world-famous print and runway model of “falling from grace.” “You have to have so much pain to keep posting bikini photos at your age,” they wrote. “I have always thought that getting old and ugly is the hardest thing for the beautiful people. The fall from grace is so much longer when you were beautiful. “
The cover girl’s perfect response went on to say that the critics in her comment section “do not understand beauty.” “People who believe that beauty equals beauty do not understand beauty,” she added. “Pretty is easy on the eyes, partly because it’s a bit bland, harmless. It is easy to take in and easy to forget. Not so great. Beauty can be sharp. It can hurt you and leave a scar. To perceive beauty, you must be able to SEE. ”
Paulina’s epistle on beauty underscores her incredible accomplishments in modeling, as well as her own intelligence, in responding to negativity. “That’s why I believe we get more beautiful with age. We deserve our beauty, we understand what it is and we can see it so much better. There is no such thing as ugly and old. Only short-sightedness. and ignorant. ”
She ended the post with the hashtags #bewtweenjloandbettywhite #seasonedistasty and #matureisbeautiful, along with a finale though. “PS. I’m not posting this because I’m feeling bad and need sympathy – on the contrary! I’m posting this because this is a pervasive feeling that needs to be done away with. So we can be proud of getting older as we deserves to be! “
Paulina lives by her words – on April 2, she posted a good-natured selfie with a filter that made her look like she had undergone plastic surgery. “Okay – turn up this natural aging biz,” she jokingly wrote for the photo along with a series of laughing emojis and the hashtag #happyfoolsdayyesterday. “It brings me nowhere.”
