Cindy Crawford, the model who ruled the catwalk in the 1990s, says she quit the runway because she didn't want to be compared to all the young beauties with whom she'd be walking.
"I don't want to stand next to a 20-year-old on the runway, even if people say you can still do it. It is like, 'Why would I do that to myself?' It would just make me depressed," she told Britain's Hello! magazine.
However, Crawford, 43, told the magazine she is more accepting of her body as she gets older. (You can see why, right.)
"I'm more comfortable with myself in the sense that hey, this is who I am now," she says.
"I guess I appreciate my body for other things -- like I was able to give birth to two kids. ... But at the same time, I am aware my body doesn't look the same way it did when I was 23. I actually don't want to feel that pressure."
Crawford is still very much in demand when it comes to ad campaigns (both print and television). In addition to being the face of Omega watches, she has her own home collections, Cindy Crawford Home and Cindy Crawford Style (with JCPenney), and skincare line Meaningful Beauty.
She's also continues to appear in editorial spreads for magazines like Harper's Bazaar and Allure.
Though, she admits to being uncertain of how long these gigs will last, according to the magazine.
"At a certain point, they're going to stop asking me to take my clothes off," she tells Hello! "Lying in a baby pool filled with shaving cream is much funnier at 43. Like, 'Oh my god, I can't believe I'm still doing this!' You have to have a sense of humor about it at this point."

The thing that I found most unattractive about my face as I got older were the dark circles under my eyes. I tried everything I could to get rid of them but nothing ever worked. I got tired of seeing all the scam ads on TV for skin care products that don't work so I started dong some research about my problem on the internet and I discovered that dark circles around and underneath eye area is not usually caused by a lack of sleep, instead the membrane in that area (a vascular rich zone) of skin is readily susceptible to discoloration (usually dark or pink). I found a great product, Haloxyl Cream, ( Http://tiny.cc/AmazingEyes135 ) that contains Haloxyl which is a new ingredient combination that has shown great promise and results in lowering the darkness of color in the under eye area. This cream is natural based so no pore clogging ingredients like mineral oil will make the problem worse. The ingredients in this natural based skin care cream are all about stimulating the pooling blood in the area under and around the eyes. This is one of the main causes of dark circles.
The very thin and fine layers of skin are pumped full of skin thickening ingredients to help maximize the cell wall to decode the see through color for the skin in that area. It also helps to firm the skin around the eyes and reduce puffiness. Extremely good for a great all around look. One of the reported side effects (there are only good side effects with this cream) is that puffiness and bags under the eyes are reduced in appearance drastically making this one of the best all around eyes cream in general not to mention for the aforementioned problems.
As mentioned above the causes can vary a little but for most the same three causes of both under eye puffiness, bags under the eyes and of course dark circles are lack of blood flow, pooling blood, thinning or thin skin and leaking of blood in the very venous tissue. All of these can be helped tremendously with the absolute best under eye treatment that includes peptides, skin thickeners and much more all in a natural base. Http://tiny.cc/AmazingEyes135

Working as an esthetician I always get people asking what they can do about their wrinkles and cellulite. For wrinkles I tell them about Ultra Lift Http://tiny.cc/UltraLift and how it is an incredible anti-aging, anti-wrinkle cream that contains the most potent, doctor grade, wrinkle erasing ingredients that tone and tighten the skin for a smoother, younger face. It's much better, safer, and less expensive than Botox. They always come back to tell me how great it is and how much younger they look. It’s a great product and I back it up 100%.
