Beauty has no age: Maye Musk, at 72, the top model in greater demand than ever

Maybe the name Maye Musk he won't tell you anything, but try asking a man if he knows who he is Elon Musk : his eyes will light up and he will begin to list all his inventions, successful businesses – he is the CEO of Tesla and wants to colonize Mars, so to speak -.

What many don't know is that too Maye , which, we reveal, is his mother is a true marvel. A Canadian-South African strong woman, model and dietitian who has appeared on the covers of the most famous magazines, since times to Vogue .

Elegant, proud, determined , Maye certainly has an innate class and she carries her age beautifully and has silver hair , which she has stopped dyeing since she was 60.

However, his life has not always been easy. Here is his story.

The parents were two former flower children who had moved in South Africa with children in tow in search of a lost city (never found, ed). Childhood was happy and very adventurous and soon as she grew up, everyone realized how beautiful she was.

She began working as a model, but shelved her career when she met Elon's father , a South African engineer.

From him he had three children – besides Elon there are Kimbal , today a successful restaurant entrepreneur and Tosca , a very good director – but she was an abusive husband , he beat and abused her. He was no longer parading: he had taken 50 Kgs and devoted himself completely to his children.

Around the age of 30 he took courage, he obtained divorce and found herself a mother, single and penniless with children to raise.

Those were really difficult years: he moved to Toronto where he began to model again a bit and also found time to study to graduate in Food Sciences .

In various interviews she says that she had come to do five jobs at the same time to support the family, giving up the hairdresser, the beautician, dinners out.

Graduating allowed her to start working as a dietitian and nutritionist and fashion was, for a long time, a means of supplementing income.

Then, the turning point : after the age of 60, the most prestigious brands began to look for it, dazzled both by its history and by its pride in showing one's age , without the need to distort the connotations with aesthetic interventions.

And so, as her peers look forward to retirement, she's living in the moment to the fullest and looking forward to enjoying her new career.

Just recently he wrote a biography, 'A Woman Makes a Plan: Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty, and Success' ('A woman makes a plan: advice for a life of adventure, beauty and success', ed. Penguin, currently available in original language).

What does this story tell us? Maye is a woman of the third age, yes, but full of charm and magnetism , with eyes that shine. Perhaps even more so today sensual and charming .

Beauty, we always want to remember, has no age.

Nor change : at any moment in life you can try to start over, let's learn to be amazed by the unexpected, even positively!

In an interview they asked her a question that we report to you:

How do you feel when they call you 'supermodel'?

“Happy: I am the spokesperson for the right of all women to feel fabulous even if they are no longer very young. I'm happy to be my age!".

The Balique tip
as you can see in the photos, Mayenon dyes her hair, which she loves to wear silver, sometimes very short, sometimes in a defined bob. The main problem with white hair is that it is much thicker, stiffer and bristlier. Advice? To soften them and keep them nice and shiny, keep the mask n.11 pose for at least 5 minutes, in order to feed them well. In the meantime, you can always start writing your autobiography… !
