Remember when Cindy Crawford was one of the biggest supermodels out there? Well, she hasn’t just been languishing since she retired from modeling. The 44-year-old former model sat down with Ladies Home Journal to talk about her life today: and living healthfully- and happily- ever after for their August issue.
The key to her success:
“Luck has been the biggest factor. I’ve tried and failed a lot. But I’ve also been really clear about my brand. It is who I am. I’m a mom. I’m a wife. I’m 44 years old and from the Midwest. I have access to the worlds of fashion and beauty and can translate that into what women can use in their everyday lives. I’m sexy but not intimidating. I’m not the kind of woman who’s going to steal your husband.”
That’s good to hear! LOL
On plastic surgery:
“When I was 30 I might have said, ‘I’m just going to age in a way that honors time and is completely natural,’ but I’m no longer so highbrow about it. I’ve tried Botox but it scares me. Plastic surgery is really scary, but as long as you don’t use these things to change your face, I think it’s okay.”
It’s good to hear that even a former supermodel (who STILL looks gorgeous- check out that cover!) has her insecurities 
On the photographs of her at the beach:
“If I put on a few pounds it goes straight to my butt. I do have cellulite.”
Join the club, Cindy. Join the club.
On keeping her marriage strong and making sex a priority:
“If you just wait for the moment to strike, you’re going to have dry spells. But even if you don’t start out in the mood, once you get it going everyone’s on board.”
Sounds like good advice.
On self-acceptance:
“I think I’m holding up pretty well, but what I like most is the sense of power I have. So much of your life you spend trying to prove yourself, trying to make things happen, trying to get somewhere else. But then you get into your late 30s and 40s and realize life is pretty amazing right in front of you if you can just be present in it.”
Cindy, who delivered both of her children at home with a midwife and NO drugs, talks about what doing that taught her:
“More than anything in my life, it showed me how strong I am. And you need that strength when the kids aren’t babies anymore.”
I guess so!
You can read Cindy’s entire interview in the August issue of Ladies Home Journal, which hits newsstands July 13.
gosh i love her!! she looks great and her attitude makes me smile.
i really adore that she isn’t stick thin but also that she isn’t touting the “curvey” blah blah…. she is healthy looking.
I admire her for admitting her views on aging have changed as the years have gone by.
havent heard about her in awhile
She recent claimed she had years of Botox, vitamin injections ect. No impressed by her at all. I like Kim Kardashian and Kate Hudson. They have nice femine features. CC had a manly face.
I really could care less about her sex life.
Ask her husband about the waitresses
SHE SAID SHE IS 44 AND FROM THE MIDWEST. – I DON’T WHAT POINT SHE WAS TRYING TO MAKE. — MAYBE SHE KNEW JEFFREY DAHMER HE WAS FROM THE MIDWEST
Come outside of your parents’ basement once in awhile. You’ll find that some people are ashamed of their backgrounds and hometowns if they didn’t grow up in some flashy city. Clearly Crawford is pointing out that she’s proud of where she’s from.
HER FACE LOOKS MANLY – NICE HAIR THOUGH
She tells one big lie after another.
She admited to having Botox for 10-12 years starting at age 30. Now she says she is afraid of it. SHE IS GOING TO FREAK WHEN SHE HITS 50 IN FIVE TO SIX YEARS.
Maybe having had it done made her realize why it’s scary.
