This takes me back, way back, to when I would sneak all my mother’s copies of Good Housekeeping to read the “My Problem And How I Solved It” column, which was almost always about someone discovering and/or committing infidelity in a totally juicy manner. All of these ladies, I believe, were on the cover of those magazines at one point, along with people like Deborah Raffin and Connie Sellecca (whose names make me wonder which current cover stars will end up as distant, dated, remote figures to my kids and their kids; my money is on, like, Teri Hatcher and Poppy Montgomery, or something).
Anyhoo, backtrack up memory lane and check out this picture.
Kim Alexis has a hem problem. Beverly Johnson has a lining problem that’s consequently giving her the appearance of a granny-panty problem, and the Jessica-christened Noted Crackpot Carol Alt has an issue where she’s turned her sleeves into little individual arm ponchos. However, at least they’ve all still got it figured out from the neck up, which for most mortals is the really hard part. Seriously, has Beverly Johnson in particular aged even a day? Her face looks fantastic, and unmarred by intrusive chemical paralysis. That makes the crime against her abdomen here even MORE unfair. It’s like that funky-shaped lining is dropping anchor on her torso and dragging her down with it. Do not drown in the crazy, Beverly. Leave that for the Gagas of the world.

OMG. Confession: I just subscribed to Good Housekeeping. Only $8 on amazon for the year. I can’t wait until Hayden Panettierre is on the cover with childcare tips and Taylor Momsen is raving about her grandmother’s roast chicken recipe. We’ll be so old…
NC Carol Alt has a major satin problem … we’ve seen these sad wrinkles so often, yet nobody learns …
Sorry, no idea who any of these are, but I do like the way Orange Satin is bending down so she does not tower over the middle gal. It’s better than Blue Sequin’s demi-plie’.
This could be a picture from the 30th class reunion of two ex-cheerleaders hugging the gal they bullied ‘way back in the day.
Beverly Johnson is going to be 60 this year! Seriously, how great does she look for someone who is going to be 60? And Carol Alt is 51; and Kim Alexis just turned 52. They all really look great for their ages. And it makes me feel great that their bodies are not super skinny or super toned, good, but not great anymore. Because I’m 53, and if two supermodels of their age aren’t perfect, then I don’t have to be at my age either!
Omigod! No idea. Beverly looks amazing for ANY age, but i had no idea she’s 60. Kim and Carol are looking a little… overinjected.
But I, too, loved “My Problem and How I Solved It.”
I caught them on the tail end of The View ( I don’t watch it, it just makes me angry)….and one of them said “I don’t even know how you can be 5’11″ and a size 2! How is that even achieved?” LOL! I miss Super Models…. at least we all recognized that there was no way we could be Amazons…. and they weren’t super skinny….just larger than life…so it was more fun to look at them. At least in my opinion.
Agreed! Give me back the gigantozons any day.
They look beautiful and natural… like humans who have gone on with their lives and enjoyed them. Lovely.
Also, “Can This Marriage Be Saved?” Ladies Home Journal, right? I digress.
“No, It Cannot.” – Reality
I think the definition of “supermodel” had to include the ability to look amazing even in fugly clothes, an ability all three of them still have. Damn. Well played, genetics, WELL PLAYED.
That is a BUNCH of gorgeous DNA right there….
I seriously loved Connie Sellecca. I feel like she fell off the face of the earth after she married The Tesh. She was my favorite show killer before there was such a thing. She was in a fantastic show co-starring the hot dad from My Two Dads and occasionally Sonny Bono, and another one that co-starred Anne of Green Gables and I BELIEVE also J-Lo.
They do look great physically, and if Kim’s dress were just a little bit longer, she’d be Fab. The other two have more issues….
I too loved my mom’s mags (and Deb Raffin for some reason, thought she was gorgeous). And actually, I started subscribing to GH, LHJ and Redbook a few years ago- – they usually have good recipes– and LHJ still has the “Can this Marriage be Saved?” column!
This photo just screams for a GFY dialogue between The Three about whose thong is riding up whose crack and NC Carol Alt going off on a little “crack” riff before excusing herself to the powder room.
I saw them in person at this event and these dresses actually photographed WELL. Yikes. Kim Alexis was totally “Love Boat” ready. That said, they are gorgeous and aging really, really well. I should be so lucky when I’m their age.
I love you for the “Kim Alexis was totally ‘Love Boat’ ready” sentence.
It’s totally Charo, right?
So totes “GUCCI! GUCCI! GUCCI!” indeed, my friend. And Kim Alexis would fall for Captain Stubing but of course in the end he would choose the seagoing life of the Pacific Princess over the one-episode love of a well-tanned supermodel who could hold her own at cocktail hour. Sigh…
Oh, excuse me. Did I say all that out loud?
You did and I applaud you for it!
The PTA moms.
