Duras, a famous writer, said, "when you were young, you were beautiful.

But I like what you are experiencing now.

It is also appropriate to describe Carmen Dale Oliviers in this sentence, the old model.

The tall figure, the thin cheekbones, the silver hair and the bright blue eye are the remarkable symbols of her.

In June 3rd, she just passed her 80 birthday.

She did not plan to retire in order to live.

15 years old as a model

Carmen was born in 1931 in New York, Italy and Hungary.

Carmen was a little beauty in the community. But her mother was very unhappy with her daughter's appearance. She thought she was a girl with two big ears and big coffin feet.

Carmen's father, a violinist, left home early in pursuit of the "artistic dream", leaving the poor mother and daughter sometimes unable to afford the rent.

At 14 years old, by chance, little Carmen came into contact with Diana Vreeland, the legendary editor of Vogue.

"She stood behind me, her hands across my brown chestnut hair, and said to me," if your neck grows another inch, I will send you to Paris. "

In 1946, Carmen boarded the cover of "Vogue" and started his modeling career.

Although Carmen could not grow an inch in her neck, she still went to Europe.

There, she made a $12 mannequin for Sadova Daly, a great painter.

As a teenage, Carmen earned 60 dollars a week (equivalent to $1200 now). She paid her mother's rent for her mother's own school, and secretly funded her father who had left home.

For decades, Carmen has been a master and a major player.

A public relations manager who worked with Carmen said, "she can't hear any complaints about foot pain or lack of sleep.

Her smile is always warm and bright, and she surpasses young models with neat, modest and punctual professional attitude.

Madoff was defrauded of his life savings {page_break}

If people feel that God has given Carmen too many gifts, only jealous sweetness in her life is wrong.

As the oldest model of T in the world, Carmen is often asked why he has to walk "cat step" at such an old age. Carmen says this is out of pursuit of beauty.

However, besides personal preferences, there should also be economic factors.

In the 80-90 century of the last century, Carmen had to sell shares and lose money, so he had to auction off photos of his young models to change money.

In 2008, Carmen lost his life savings again in Madoff's financial fraud.

Carmen and Madoff were old friends for many years.

Carmen married three times.

In those days, little Carmen earned money to buy several horse races for his boyfriend. After he had aborted several abortions, he finally married him at the age of 21, but divorced after 3 years.

Since then, the two marriage has ended in failure, and Carmen is still single.

Lifelong frugality without losing weight

Because of the hard life of childhood, Carmen was very frugal and his regimen was simple.

In addition to using some advanced cosmetics that are often endorsed, Carmen's most commonly used daily cosmetics are an ointment called Bag Balm.

The official documents of the US Drug Administration usually recognize it only for animals, but Carmen said, "animals can be used, and I can use them."

She thinks that the effect of Bag Balm is not different from some big brand cosmetics.

"3.99 dollars can last a year!" Carmen said cheerfully.

When the media noticed the seemingly expensive ring on her hand, Carmen burst out laughing: "28 dollars, Banana Republic (mass consumer brand)!"

Talking about how to keep fit, Carmen said he often practise yoga, eat more fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, and do not deliberately lose weight.
