So Style.com does this thing in their beauty section called “Beauty Icon” and every few months they have a spotlight on some beautiful legend, whether it’s Veruschka or Clemence Posey, and yes yes we all know those are some beautiful woman and isn’t that great for everyone, whoop de doo and la di da.
WORDS: LESLEY ARFIN
Personally, I’m much more interested in the less obvious beauty icons, for example, Teresa from The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Most people would describe Teresa as trashy, but I ask you this: is having confidence trashy? No way! It’s the opposite. Teresa makes no apologies for anything about her. Not her small forehead, her overly-gelled hair, her boob job, her tan… nothing. And I love that.
I love that she’s ready to drop a million dollars on a diamond necklace, and I love how said diamond necklace looked like something a drag queen would buy from Claire’s Accessories. I love how she wants to put 2 chandeliers in the living room. I love how she dresses her bratty daughters up in matching outfits. I love how her husband loves her so much and spoils her and tries to fuck her at least twice every day. If I were her husband, I would too!
Her accent is as thick as her family, which are like thieves. And you know what that means? Pretty fuckin’ thick!
Teresa makes me wanna part my hair to the side, scrunch it up, get tan as hell, and wear as much jewelry as I can. To the beach.
You might think WASPY is wonderful and Grace Kelly is the only true beauty to have ever lived, but I’ll take a gum snapping, loud-mouthed, New Jersey stage mom over that any day. Not only is she hot, but she’ll kick your ass too! Double winner!
