Marc Jacobs Beauty Campaign by David Sims

Break
out the Bolly sweeties!  There is indeed something to celebrate in
these waning days of winter. NARS and Marc Jacobs have made a quantum
leap into the future of beauty in their decision to hire two women who
have been worshipped since they were young.

Charlotte Rampling, 68,will be the face of NARS. Jessica Lange, 64, will be the face of Marc Jacobs.

For seasoned women, women who threw caution to the winds in the 60’s and
70’s and lived a life where they took chances, and as they were doing
that, remembered to put on some lippy, seeing the divine Miss Lange and
the supreme Miss Rampling in every magazine from New York to Timbuktu
will be a triumph of age over youth.

Seniors
they are not.  And while we’re at it let’s banish that hateful word to
describe women over fifty.  Ramplng and Lange are goddesses as are we.
