Madonna may have just turned 50, but it’s 54-year-old Christie Brinkley who is defying age in the new issue of New York magazine.
As the article describes her, the newly divorced supemodel’s “hair is thick and golden, her skin is tanned but only just. Her teeth are gleaming, her waist is narrow.”
Inside the mag, Christie opens up about growing up as a California girl and becoming one of the world’s top models.
Some highlights:
On John Edwards’ affair: “Devastating. Devastating. I’ve met him, and I’ve met his lovely wife, and this is devastating news. But I don’t want to go there!”
On her stint as a working model in Paris: “You have to understand. that I came to France to be so bohemian. It was all”–and here Brinkley does an elaborate Pepé Le Pew accent–”How can you mo-dell. Is so bourgeois.”
On being “exotic” in the world of high fashion: “I was basically a surfer girl from California. I never looked like a model. Models were thin, and they were very sophisticated, and their poses were kind of like–hoity.”
On resisting the 80s cocaine culture: “I always knew I wanted to be a mom, and I always wanted my body to be healthy for those kids. And besides, it felt disrespectful to my parents.”

Hello hottie!!! Wowwwwwwwwww she just looks incredible! I’ve always thought she was incredibly beautiful and her happy personality just shines through her face. Definition of supermodel! And airbrushing? If you’ve ever seen her in life or just in candid pictures you would realise just how wrong that is.

Con 54 años la super modelo Christie Brinkley es la portada de la revista New York. Dentro del magazine, Christie habla sobre crecer como una joven de California y convertirse en una de las primeras modelos del mundo.
En la Pregunta cómo se resistió a quedar atrapada en la cultura de la cocaína como muchas modelos, ella comenta, “Yo siempre supe que quería ser mamá, y siempre quise tener un cuerpo sano para los niños y además, a mi juicio, sería una irrespetuosa con mis padres.

If I had Christy’s $$$$ (fortune) I would look great at 54 too! In all reality tho, she’s a great, down-to-earth girl. I hope some day that some true, authentic, real, gentleman sweeps her off her feet. She has had a couple of lousy husbands, for sure. I do wish her all the best. I’m glad to hear she is taking time for herself to let the healing take place, unlike Jen Aniston who runs from one to the next and doesn’t allow for total healing to take place.
