VANESSA MINNILLO TALKS TO OHLALA ABOUT “TRUE BEAUTY”
Just hours before TRUE BEAUTY premiers on ABC we have got the chance to ask the show host/judge Vanessa Minnillo a few questions about this beauty show with a twist: Q: What is to you a true beauty ? VM: To me that would be someone that manages to command your attention in a room without having to say a word, their aura. Yet, validates everything you hoped once you get to know them. Beauty comes in so many shapes and sizes, and the "beauty" of it (no pun intended) is that we are all beautiful in our own way

But as the decades wore on, the magazine became less and less about America and more and more a Celebrity-oriented publication; hence this star-filled edition of "The Way We Were: The '80s" (Previously:the '70s, the 60s, the '50s, '40s and the '30s.) In addition, we found very few Life covers from the '80s, thou
