Paulina: Back in the Arena

I’ve been scrolling through Paulina’s pics with a huge smile on my face.

It’s great to see her back in a bikini. And I think my nostalgia is compounded by the warmth she’s giving off in a lot of her photos.

I haven’t gotten too deep into this year’s offerings, but I think Paulina’s photos just seem more genuine and happy than a lot of the other models’.

And I remember her from the 80s as a lot more sultry, a lot less smiley. It’s like at fiftysomething she’s shed some of the artifice and is content to enjoy herself in the camera’s (and our) gaze.
