You’re never too old to learn something new—like how giving up on “your sexy” is just plain old.
I was thinking about this the other day listening to an interview on NPR with Lindsey Vonn. What got me wasn’t so much her winning a gold medal in the super G, the fact that she uses men’s skis, her superstar youthful looks, or even her powerful athletic body.
It’s her attitude.
She’s direct, honest, opinionated, funny, strong, and focused. She does what she wants to. She calls it like she sees it. She is exactly, unapologetically herself.
She is, in short, sexy.
This came through loud and clear in the interview when they asked her about her decision to appear in Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue wearing a bikini and even less.
“I honestly thought it was a great opportunity,” Vonn explained to NPR. “I mean, I’m not a skinny model, I’m an athlete, I have muscles. And I think that it’s great that I’m given the opportunity to show that. It’s a lot different body image than what’s normally out there.”
