This weekend at the Mondrian pool in LA, my husband and I settled our chubby white bodies into the otherwise empty patch of shade and looked around the pool to find that we were at what looked like an old age convention.
All the other pool goers had dark orange tans and crazy white denture-like teeth. But when I focused a little more it turned out these people were young. Their denture white teeth and crazy tans were by choice! I was a little disappointed because I was hoping to see George Hamilton but then I realized, what I was witnessing was the New Hollywood Look.
It actually makes complete sense. The best way to get something is to look like you don’t need it and who needs an acting job less than an old star on his or her deathbed? Genius.
