Wrinkles won't stop 96-year-old from modeling It's never too late to start a new career, even if you're 96 years old — and the new job is modeling cosmetics.
Irene Sinclair, a Guyana-born pensioner living in London, is appearing on billboards around Britain this month, wrinkles and all, to help sell Dove, a popular brand of facial cream. "I've never felt beautiful in my life, but I feel I am now," said Sinclair, quoted in the Daily Mirror newspaper Tuesday. "It's all about growing old gracefull. "I don't stay indoors," she said. "I try and get fresh air as much as I can by going for walks." Sinclair is the latest of a number of women — including a half-dozen with "real curves" — which Dove, a Unilever brand, is using to promote itself among women put off by the idea that beauty is defined by tall skinny supermodels. Last year a survey for Dove, conducted among 3,200 women
in 10 countries, found that 31 percent thought they looked "natural" and 29
percent "average" — compared to 2 percent who replied "beautiful."
