Carmen Dell’Orefice, the world’s oldest working supermodel, graces the cover of New You‘s upcoming issue, and she never looked any better.
The 83-year-old New York-born beauty – who first covered Vogue when she was 15, spoke frankly about everything from maintaining her model figure through seven decades in the industry, to ‘preparing’ for death, and still enjoying sex in her 80s.
‘Of course I still have a sex life, why would I give that up?’ she insists. ‘Do I love to breathe? If you have a Rolls Royce and it is up on wheels, you go in with the key and every now and then turn on the motor to make sure the motor is running. So when you want to drive the car, it is all oiled and ready.’
Asked by New You how Carmen keeps her proverbial Rolls Royce ‘oiled’, the stunning model responds: ‘I know how to pleasure myself.
‘I can go for a low romantic love, and that’s fine but I am conditioned to the whole meal.’
That’s one strong well-oiled woman.
