She's Got the Look's DeVega, 72, Earns FAF Praise for Guts
|
The wannabe mature models posed in underwear on a rainy, chilly day in New York’s Central Park and were photographed on a trampoline.
De Vega trampolined for the first time as a septuagenarian. (Somehow, I missed week two.)
I wish I could run a photo to show you how stunning De Vega is, but I will not run photos without permission as many sites do.
On week four, stylist Robert Verdi -- wearing a bright purple paisley sports jacket -- gave the pretty older women wardrobe advice.
His advice included throwing De Vega’s newly purchased silver jacket into the trash. Is he kidding? Verdi’s hideous jacket should have been the first thing in the garbage.
The lesson I take away from this episode of She's Got the Look is to take fashion advice only from someone whose taste I respect – definitely not be the fashion disaster named Robert Verdi.

Mature Models Are Tested : Voguing to Sell the Gowns
| |
Then they stood in a department store window while people outside voted on the questions: Who do you want to buy the dress from? Which mature model is selling you her dress?
The next test was voguing in high fashion gowns. Working in pairs on pedestals barely big enough for two, the mature models were surrounded on all sides by critics from the fashion world.
The pretty older women had to create three tableaux: red carpet evening, avant garde, and warriors. Each tableau included a change of costumes.
De Vega was criticized for looking pained, and who would not be in that situation? The idea was to create characters that show off the clothing, not one’s acting skills. Of special interest was the pair of two mature models in training who loathe each other. They couldn’t get past their obvious antipathy.
De Vega made the cut, despite the judges' cavils, and will appear in episode 5 of the program.
De Vega exited from the competition with grace and class,a model for successful aging.
