The first woman looks about 81 years old. Speaks volumes for healthy lifestyle. I would pick Lady #2 for her healthy looks. Just me.
|
I like Nigella and I have many of her cookbooks. She is so beautiful...pass the butter!
|
Lady #1 has had substantial sun exposure, probably from her gardening, whereas lady #2 has not. Wear sunscreen.
|
I'll drink to #2...lol.
|
I have always thought Nigella was very beautiful.
|
I don't trust any "celebrities" that tell you how to keep young, etc. You know they have all had plastic surgery, not to mention professional makeup artists.
|
make up sure does wonders !!!!
|
I'm all for enjoying life, which in my case me meats, dairy etc.
|
If #1 had a makeover she might be a better representative for her lifestyle. Just saying.
|
Number two.

Funny! Thanks for the smile. Wonder how much Nigella works out so she can stay that slim...either that, or she has good genes.

I vote for picture 2. It does help that she has good genes and started out beautiful in the first place.
|
I love Nigella and have some of her cookbooks as well. I like watching her show when I can find it.
|
looks like number 1 digs in the dirt. if you look close at her finger nails. number 2 is very healthy looking . may wash my food down with wine. starting today....;)
|
I see what 10 lbs. of Mary Kay cosmetics can do as well as a well aimed airbrush.........LOL
I think I would prefer to spend time quilting with Gillian than the other Lady. |
Before drawing any conclusions, I'd like to see the first WITH a make-up artist . . . and the second WITHOUT one. The first picture was obviously taken outside, while the woman was working. The second is obviously a PR shot.

Inside ourselves regardless of what we eat, we all look like Nigella. Don't we?
|
Are you sure that you got their ages correct?? The first one looks 70 to 80 years old.

I found this interesting commentary on the whole situation
http://blisstree.com/look/nigella-la...nd-beauty-633/ to quote, it’s insinuated that attractiveness is a) the most important feature of women (above health), and b) a valid marker of someone’s overall health. They also assume that we should all be measured along the same standards of beauty (god forbid anyone actually find McKeith attractive because she doesn’t have huge breasts or the facial features that have been idealized on film and tv), and they gloss over the fact that genetics play a big role in aging and attractiveness. Sound familiar? This isn’t a far cry from the ridiculous weight and beauty standards promoted by advertising; both are aimed at whittling down a woman’s worth and making her feel that her looks are more important than anything else. |
Wow! Number 2's lifestyle makes her look so pretty!!!
|
right, it must be her lifestyle, not genetics..... BTW, the first photo was taken after 5 days in the Australian outback on a "Survivor" type show. I doubt any of us would look good in those circumstances.
|
It kills me when people like this are compared..not everyone is born with striking good looks...

Lady #1 also seems to be less genetically gifted as the second lady is gifted. I found out that when you have less padding-I don't think it is fat, on the forehead you wrinkle early. My husband has very thin skin on his forehead and looked 'old' when I married him at 38. (He was 38) He has deep creases around his eyes etc. I on the other hand seem to have better 'skin'. I can see which of our kids (and his by a previous marriage) take after him as far as lines etc. My oldest son, has had the forehead creases for a number of years (He's 27) and my daughter who turns 21 next month has them already. I think genetics play a huge part in how you look as you age. Sun is also very aging. I think there are many more factors, health, smoking and so on.
I watched Martha Stewart this last year on Hallmark, and she is 70! Now I know she is really photogenic, and I don't know if she has had any work done, but gee, she sure doesn't look 70 to me. |
Have you ever seen the photos of stars without makeup and special lighting? I wouldn't know Oprah if I ran into her without all that! Even beautiful stars like Sandra Bullock look like they've had a rough night being photographed without their makeup and photographic lighting. Plus, look up those two on snopes.com - it's not as cut and dried as we might think!
|
I used to watch Nigella on the food network and when I heard her story about her life; I thought she deserves to be happy in life after her husband died. I have always liked her sense of humor and have lots of her cookbooks.
That is one person in my lifetme that would so cool to have lunch with and laugh. I'll take Door 2 please .. LOL Thanks for sharing !! |
the first on is scary, I to like Nigella
|
So much of it is genetics too. I had a friend and teacher who jogged, ate right, and drank very little who died from ovarian cancer at the young age of 63. I say everything in moderation and enjoy life! It is over way too quickly in this form.
|
It's a good laugh anyway! Yes, I will have another cupcake, thank you!

Society has conditioned us to go for the more attractive person and shun the less desirable ones. |
Please pass me the butter to put on my red meat. Heavens help #1--somebody sure needs to!
|
Veggies, fruits, exercise, and vitamins are all well and good, but I still cook meat (yes, the red kind! :) ), some taters and whole wheat bread...and some chocolate now and then for a treat! :)

One guild member has eaten nothing but fruits, grains, and vegetables for over 30 years. No animal products at all, no dairy or fish. She looks like death warmed over. All the new members think she is one of the elderly members. She is 51.

Regardless of what society thinks of the worth of big boobs, facelifts or not, makeovers or not - which lady would we most like to resemble when we look in the mirror? No. 2!!!!I always think the best that I can envision myself looking is at least 10 years younger! LOL. I have high self esteem but I would prefer that parts of my face and body did not tend to droop closer toward the floor every morning when I wake up. When I reach the famous 80th birthday I will probably be able to staple dixie cups to my belt and forget the bra and who knows what depths the eye lids will have reached.By then I can use body paint on my ear lobes and start a new dangle fashion and let's not even talk about where the hips are going. Old age has hit me at a bad time in my life.
