Paulina Porzikova gave a lesson about beauty!
Former 58-year-old model in bikini! Porzikova launches avalanche of photos of middle-aged women and men in support of the fight against ageism
'It must hurt a lot when you keep posting bikini photos at that age. I always thought it was hard for beautiful people to grow old and ugly. Falling is much harder when you're beautiful. I pray you to come to terms with your mortality,' someone wrote with a photo of former supermodel Paulina Porzikova (57) in a bikini. Porzikova posted the photo on her Instagram profile, and her body, perfectly trained and muscular, looks literally sensational.
However, the beauty, who has been ravaging catwalks and editorials for years, known for her efforts to break double standards when it comes to age and women's aging and the fight against ageism, was not silent this time either, but she published comment and answered him with chosen words.
'A 57-year-old woman is too old to pose in a bikini no matter what she looks like. I get comments like this every time I post a photo of my body. Older men are dignified, older women are ugly ' she wrote, adding that those who think beauty is in “beautiful looks” do not understand beauty. 'Beauty can be sharp. It can injure you and leave a scar. To notice the beauty, you must be able to see it. That’s why I believe we get prettier with age. We deserve beauty, we understand what she is, we see better. There is no ugly and old. Only short-sighted and ignorant.'She also said she does not post a photo or comment of that person because she feels bad or needs the compassion of her companions.
'I am publishing this because this is a ubiquitous attitude that should disappear so that we can be proud of our age, as we deserve!' she wrote. As expected, her words provoked a lot of comments and praise.
You look amazing, and your words are wise and insightful,' one wrote, and another of her companions added, 'Ummm, if I looked like you at 57, I'd go to the bikini store.'
