You are a professional fashion model. Can you tell us about your career as a model?

I started this crazy but fantastic job in 1985. It all went swift for me, working with big photographers like Bruce Weber, big campaigns, and magazines within a few months… The ’80s were terrific times; there was a lot less pressure as social networks and all… I moved to NYC, where work was more controlled but continued working worldwide. Then, September 11 happened, I was home in NYC that day, and my priorities changed. I wanted to be closer to my family, so I moved to Belgium in 2003. After having my son in 2006, I did quit working for about six years. I just wanted to be a mom. At age 53, I am still amazed to have the chance to work; I love my job, travel, and have fun!

What is, according to you, the best part of getting older?

Confidence!

And the worst?

Confidence! LOL. Seeing time passing by soooooo fast and wondering if I’ll have the time to do all the things I still want to do.
