Entry 10 - China Machado,legendary model

Once dubbed 'probably the most beautiful woman in the world', model China Machado partied with Warhol and Picasso, lost out in love to Ava Gardner, and now, at 82, is still in hot demand on the catwalk.  BY JANE MULKERRINS


China Machado born Noelie Dasouza Machado,if she wasn't break out during the 50's 
Right now in the western there will never be a asian model. While her role in the society
were a outstanding model that changed the perception of having the first Asian (non-Caucasian)  model to be the most requested models in the runway during the 50's. 

This is still when she was young.



How did she inspired women ?


Her role as a mother at home, and a top model in the society. How did she actually influences the attitudes of a woman ? 

She 82 years old, probably the oldest signed model. Just because she is the most oldest signed model, it inspired younger generation to have self confident. While i read a few articles about her mentioning that 'I've never dieted, never exercised, I eat like a pig, and I drink - mainly vodka,' declares China Machado. How many older woman will look like her, never go for a diet never went for exercise and eat everything they like, no matter how it is, women's just complain about  "do this dress makes me fats?" or "which shirt should i wear to make me slim?", this result aged woman have less self esteem towards them self. While she really had inspired a lot of younger generation to be confident and have self esteem, be yourself.
