Jessica Simpson Sans Makeup!

Say what you will about Jessica Simpson, but not many people would grace the cover of any magazine sans makeup, much less the cover of Marie Claire.  Simpson did the photo shoot with no makeup artist, no hair stylist and no photoshop. Her hair was washed and air dried.  Now I will say, there is nothing like fabulous lighting and an amazing photographer to help a sister out…just sayin’.  I personally am thrilled that she has decided to do this.  As a peon who has done minimal modeling, little girls would come up to me constantly while shooting saying how they wanted to be that pretty, or they wanted to be just like me (I know, it just sounds crazy typing that!).….I tried (and still do) to always, always explain, that they are much prettier than me and that anyone can look glamorous with 4 hours of hair, makeup, a stylist to dress you and a photographer to take great shots. At this point the moms are almost in tears because I'm on their side.  It's a tough social image for little girls to live up to.  L

Jessica has been working on her own project “The Price of Beauty” this past year and has learned quite a bit for herself.  Women around the world all have their issues and their secrets.  I am looking forward to the shows debut on VH1.  The way different cultures perceive things and go about their “everyday” has always been fascinating to me.  So love her, hate her, she looks beautiful au natural and has more cojones than most people I know.
