Meet Daphne Selfe. She’s 83 and apparently she’s the world’s oldest supermodel. She’s still gracing catwalks and catalogues, says she’s not afraid of getting older and has never had cosmetic surgery because she sees it as a “waste of money”.

Also in this bumper edition of week in pics, there’s the fashion campaign featuring a lesbian kiss that everyone’s talking about, our favourite celeb Twitter pictures and the magazine images that aim to ‘normalise’ breastfeeding.

Take a look.

Is 83-year-old Daphne Selfe the world's oldest supermodel? She's still walking catwalks and says she's never had any cosmetic surgery. (Photoshopped image.)

    The most troubling thing about the picture of the two girls kissing should be their BMI, (particularly the one on the right) NOT the fact that they are kissing (or that they happen to be two girls kissing, which is probably more accurately why the complaint was made). Honestly those mums need to find other things to worry about. I personally think it’s a great image, particularly when you consider that it’s depicted as more of an intimate moment rather than the highly sexualised images we often see of a male and female together or just a female by herself. I’m sure Urban Outfitters would enjoy the publicity this has created but nevertheless, I say good work.

    That butterfly painting on the wall in the JT picture is amazing!! Is it designed by him?

    I see no problem with that assessment of the situation.

    Just a point on the Photoshopped image caption… The Pulitzer Prize images by Craig F. Walker and the Denver Post can’t be Photoshopped as it was won in the category for JOURNALISM – feature photography. As a Photojournalist you’re not allowed to re-touch your images or alter them in anyway… if you do you can pretty much kiss your career away. It’s a VERY strict game.

    Clive Owen went to my primary school. He was much older than me but I do have a vague memory of a boy called Clive pulling my hair when I was five. I’ve rationalised this event into the following –

    Clive Owen hit on me once.

    I see no problem with that assessment of the situation.

    How the hell are you a ‘designer’ at age 5 (Duda – pic 3)?

    I swear the word designer is thrown around these days.

    What a relief that even Angelina Jolie gets her hair caught in her jewellery.

    I think the sentence ‘bringing crockery back’, has just made my day.
    Also, what was photoshopped on the picture of Daphne Selfe?

    I agree Ms Selfe is lovely, but what makes her a supermodel? Is there a certain number of magazine covers that need to be appeared on, or a certain amount of fees in a year that one needs to earn, or certain catwalks that one needs to walk down a particular number of times? Would love to know what the criteria are, if anyone can explain please….

      It looks like her dress draping could double as a superhero cape… Perhaps she flies about saving fashion from unflattering print pants and acid wash jeans. Oh wait, those things are IN fashion again. Forget it. Anyway, I think she’s beautiful.

    It’s Urban Outfitters, not Urban Outsitters :)
    But yes, the boycott is silly.

      Also, the guy who owns Urban Outfitters donated stacks of money to Rick Santorum’s campaign and other anti-gay politicians in America… so it’s a bit silly he’s trying to capture the “pink dollar”.

    She looks lovely but her face doesn’t look older than 60… lucky or lying?

      I think she looks way older than 60. I think she looks her age actually. Obviously she has great genes!

      If you took away the long flowing hair and modern clothing, she looks pretty much like Betty White.

      Both gorgeous women.

      Also, my mum is 62 and definitely looks a good 20 years young than this woman.

        Yes completely agree. She’s beautiful. If you did a close up of just her face she does like she’s in her 70s/80s. One of my aunties would look like that if she was all done up with the flowing hair. etc.
