Yazemeenah Rossi possesses an enviable take on the aging process. While the rest of us sit around and worry about whether our hairline’s receding, if we’ve grown another wrinkle or looking at ourselves in the mirror and questioning whether that’s a gray hair we can see in our beard, the 60-year-old French model is far more welcoming of growing old. Considering she possesses the body of someone 40 years her junior, perhaps she’s onto something.
Yazemeenah was recently profiled in Vice Spain, and since then she’s become a hot topic on the Internet. Stating that she’s had no plastic surgery save for the removal of some excess fat under her eyes provoked by allergies she suffered through as a child, Yazemeenah is in such good shape that it’s nigh-on unbelievable.
Yes, that woman you see in the above image is 60. Sixty. SIX-TY. I’ll give you a second to process that information.
…
While she obviously must eat a lot of healthy food and do an unfathomable amount of exercise to keep her body as trim as it is, she looks so good that she’s left us seriously considering the possibility that the mythological Fountain of Youth might actually exist. If it does, she must be drinking out of that shit 24/7.
Yazemeenah, who now lives in Malibu, told Vice that she hopes that eventually the modeling world eventually begins hiring more women of her age, noting how older male models have a much higher chance of getting booked than other female models.
When asked about what keeps her looking so young, she responded: “You need to have a playful, adventurous, curious spirit. And you need to rid yourself of fear. It’s fear that makes you grow old.”
So there you have it: in order to look as good as Yazemeenah, you just need to stop being so afraid. And probably go to the gym more. And presumably you’ll also have to stop eating pizza. And maybe you should replace your evenings of binge-watching Netflix for going out jogging.
