**REPOST** ❤️MOLD Hollywood Glam ❤️ This look was inspired by women in Hollywood being deemed “expired” or too old to play the lead role. On one side she is covered in mold to represent how she is viewed by the industry and the other side is her true, beautiful, youthful self. I chose a classic Old Hollywood silhouette for the dress inspired by American actress Ava Gardner. The film industry is youth-obsessed in general, but age is of particular consequence for female actors, who tend to burn brightest in their 20s. As they approach middle age, their careers dim, the number of available roles diminish, and they start to see themselves replaced by younger, up and coming stars. For both male and female actors, 40 is a critical age. Among male actors, 40 represents the midpoint of their careers — about half of the leading film roles for men go to actors over 40. For women, 40 is a sunset year. When a female actor reaches 40, she loses access to about three-quarters of the leading film roles for women. There should not be fear in getting older but a celebration of success and new beginnings! To all the hard working women out there, you’re beautiful ❤️ Dress/Top @raundism Mold pieces @tiannatetlock Application/distress @gia.metric Hair @styledbyhairy Photography/edit @marcrovich Photography assistant @jordan.8419 Thank you @jaylenetyme for lending gia the beautiful jewelry 💎
