Christy Turlington is in my opinion one of the most beautiful women of the last century. But out of all the Supers, she also might be the least interesting. Naomi and Linda have crazy charisma and theyve each had their messes, but Christy is kind of milquetoast. But Ill give her credit for pivoting to humanitarian work with her organization Every Mother Counts. Every Mother Counts has programs in multiple countries that expand access to high quality maternity care, including in the US, where there is a shockingly high rate of maternal mortality especially among Black and Indigenous mothers. So Christy and EMC are doing good work. Christy is also the Fundamental Changemaker in Residence for a super fancy, expensive skincare brand called Noble Panacea. Im sorry but that title is so silly. Just call her a brand ambassador.
Anyway, Christy was interviewed for Marie Claire and she talked about her skincare routine (predictably, a lot of $326 face creams from Noble Panacea, but she also likes regular Chapstick and Burts Bees) and how she admires women who dont augment themselves as they age. She called out the late Jane Birkin as one of her inspirations for how she wants to age. Oh, and she only wears mascara for special events. Imagine being that pretty, Im envious.
Shes a big fan of no-makeup makeup: I only wear a very tiny amount of makeup. Right now, I have on a little bit of the RMS concealer. I love the whole line?it all feels very light and clean. I?ll use a little bit of that under my eyes and then I?ll use some kind of a cheek tint, even if I have a little bit of color in my face. I always like some blush on my face. I love Westman Atelier and I also love Jones Road for a light wash. I?ll fill in my eyebrows a bit?I use a very basic Maybelline eyebrow pencil. I have so many because I used to work for them for years. I have a scar on my eyebrow so I always fill that in. I curl my lashes, but I don?t really wear mascara unless I?m going somewhere special. And that?s it!
Her thoughts on aging: Women who have stayed away from augmentation of themselves?those are the women I really admire. I love seeing a real face. A face of someone who?s lived life. I would say my beauty icons are people like Jane Birkin. They have the kind of faces I like to see and we don?t get to see as many of those in the world anymore. Jane aged in her way. She was as beautiful at the end of her life as she was early on. I will be one of those faces. I am one of those faces.
Shes a fan of regular Chapstick: I?m always grabbing lip balm. I love Burt?s Bees, but I also love good, old fashioned Chapstick. It lasts the longest. When I run, I want to wear something thats going to last the duration of my long run. Sometimes those fancier products, or the ones that have fragrance in them, just don?t last as long. It?s good, old fashioned Chapstick that does the job. [From Marie Claire]
Her comments about aging are interestingnote what shes sayingand not saying. She mentions augmentation and implies that she hasnt done anything augmenting which would mean fillers. But even if she doesnt get anything injected into her skin, it wouldnt surprise me if Christy gets non-invasive or minimally invasive treatments like lasers, radiofrequency, or chemical peels. She does look her ageshe has some settled wrinklesbut her skin looks really smooth and even-toned and I find it hard to believe even a $300 skin cream can do that. Christy is also operating on the lowest possible difficulty setting when it comes to aging. She already has one of the most beautiful faces in the whole world. Its possible for her to opt out of invasive beauty treatments and still look better than most people because she has outstanding bone structure. Her comments come across as maybe a little judgmental towards those of us who are not so blessed and who respond to aging differently, but I dont think she meant them that way. I think in the circles in which she moves (aka other rich ladies), its probably unusual not to be getting Botox and Juvederm.

An undeniable fact about 2022 is that Top Gun: Maverick ?saved theatrical distribution,? to quote Steven Spielberg. Not only did it do well for a post-pandemic release, it became one of the most successful films ever, and all in-theaters. I have hated this fact since Maverick?s release, because it puts an entire industry in debt to a man who is virtually at the head of a cult. I know Tom Cruise is an excellent producer. I know he is very polished, some say even thoughtful in how he conducts himself for Hollywood business. But I cannot forget that he and David Miscavige are the kings of the Church of Scientology. They are responsible for the organization?s reprehensible behavior and heinous crimes. On Wednesday, former COS member and current NYU student Leah Remini filed a lawsuit against the Church of Scientology and described the harassment, defamation, and psychological torture they inflicted on her:
It started falling apart at TomKat?s 2006 wedding: The event was billed as ?the wedding of the century,? so Remini says she was surprised when [David] Miscavige?s wife, Michele (?Shelly?) Miscavige, ?was nowhere to be found? When Ms. Remini asked a group of Scientology executives and Tom Cruise?s personal handlers? ?Where is Shelly?? she was immediately admonished by the group, despite the fact that she and Ms. Miscavige were good friends,? the lawsuit claims.
She was forced to do an ?ethics cycle? post-wedding: ?Upon arrival, Ms. Remini was presented with dozens of internal reports from Scientologists complaining about her behavior at the wedding. It was clear to Ms. Remini that she was being punished for asking where Shelly Miscavige was and for filing reports on David Miscavige and others. Ms. Remini was held at FLAG [Flag Land Base headquarters in Florida] for four months while she was put through a process that cost her hundreds of thousands of dollars and nearly led her to have a psychotic breakdown,? the lawsuit alleges.
They made her buy a theater seat for Suri: Remini alleges she had to make peace with David [Miscavige] and Cruise. ?For example, she was forced to donate money to name a seat in a theater after Suri Cruise and was to raise money for donation to Scientology causes led by Tom Cruise,? the lawsuit reads. The actress estimates that during her more than 35 years as a Scientologist, she spent around $5 million.
In 2020 COS sent a man to stalk her home: ?Defendants armed this man with a vehicle and money to stalk and surveil Ms. Remini. Over the course of several weeks, at Defendants? behest, this man rammed his car into the security gates of Ms. Remini?s community and asked residents for Ms. Remini?s address, saying he was waiting to get into her house, falsely claiming he had been there several times before, and that he needed to get a bigger ladder in order to reach her bedroom window,? the lawsuit reads. ?He was eventually arrested and then released, at which point he called the police to allege that Ms. Remini was holding hostages at her home. After police responded to Ms. Remini?s house, he was again arrested.?

Well, I hope at least the Suri Cruise theater seat doesn?t Sting so much anymore. There?s so much listed in the lawsuit, including Anderson Cooper filming but then never airing a segment with Remini because of a ?storm of harassment? from COS, and COS sending Conan O?Brien a character assassination letter on Remini when he had her on as a guest. In continuing with their hateful, aggressive tactics, COS eventually released a statement in reaction to the lawsuit. It is positively unhinged! Just a couple excerpts from the full page rebuttal:
?Remini?s complaints are like an anti-Semite complaining about the Jewish Anti-Defamation League for exposing the anti-Semite?s bigotry and propaganda.?
Did you follow that? Oh good, me neither. And this is the closer:
?The Church is not intimidated by Remini?s latest act of blatant harassment and attempt to prevent truthful free speech. If Remini does not believe in free speech, then she should consider emigrating to Russia.?
Like I said, unhinged. I think (hope!) that behind the scenes Xenu is sh*tting their pants. Thank you Leah Remini for speaking out, for filing the suit, and for continuing to raise the question: Where?s Shelly?
