How does Liz Hurley do it?

[Frostycake]

Have you seen the photographs from the benefit at Claridges last night?

< envious >

that black eye liner doesnt look so good, plus she has a big nose and a bit of a belly

"bit of a belly" .

Wait, on no its you making that comment suzanne. That explains it.

You see, even in the 'unattractively lit' picture, she's still extremely attractive, just not as youthful as she appears in the tabloid shots in the dark

"Bit of a belly?"

It's just the gentle curve of a normal, female abdomen. She looks a knockout in a bikini.

She's in really good shape obviously but I think she would look even better if she overhauled her look a bit; she's always absolutely caked in make-up and that heavy, too-long hair is quite aging. I think she would look fresher, younger and more modern if she eased up on the foundation and eye make up and lopped a couple of feet of hair off. I loved her hair the way it was around the time of Divine Brown, she looked furious and amazing in the photos back then!

A friend of mine cut her long, thick, wavy hair recently; I had always thought she looked lovely but now it kicks up on her shoulders and she suddenly looks 10 years younger, so pretty.

So these celebrities who eat very less, how much exactly do they eat? I'd like to compare it to what I eat. I'm sure that would be really interesting to know.

I remember years ago watching a Collins sister sharing on a version of GMTV thar sge eats a few salad leaves for lunch.

Think vegetable based diet with very limited lean meat. Veg is normally raw or steamed with meat grilled/ baked with no fat added.

A lot of salmon with some greens on the side.

She has a fleet of servants so has nothing else to do with her time but work on her looks - for which she has help.
She also is a model for a cosmetics firm so gets all her beauty products free and is a millionaire and dates millionaires.
She doesn't have to look after her own child or clean her own house or pay for most of her living expenses.

I think we should be asking the question: why do we encourage rich people to spend a fortune on their looks when they could be giving the money to charity to help people and animals in actual need and who suffer daily?

Forget the 'princessing' threads - we need a 'Hurlifying' thread!

Maybe Liz would turn up and tell us what to do.

I wonder if she still dresses her son in those Edwardian sailor suits.

I saw her years ago in Melbourne when she was with Arun...She's not as tall as I thought she would be (I'm 5'9" and taller...) But yes, stunningly beautiful.

Yeah screw a webchat with Jaimie Oliver. MN please get Hurley and Collins sisters on so they can share what they do (we want honesty).

Would love to wear a LH bikini but after a 10lb6oz baby my stomach area is a mess still 2 years later. Looking at pilates and reformer Pilates. If that doesn't work I will do surgery.

If you ever saw her in Dennis Potter's Christabel, back in the early eighties she did look a bit more full-figured. She was great in it--lead part. Serious stuff. Link below.

I knew a couple of models back in the day a couple still modelling now and they ate nothing literally. Coffee water fags the odd line of coke and fruit sometimes and they were young then!!

< Justine? Are you there? Please set up a Hurley webchat so we can learn to Hurlify >

I think her long hair is lovely as long as it's not too 'done.'

Haha yes I have been googling Pilates classes Want2Be

LH looks great. However, I agree with posters who suggest that having loads of dosh helps.

Of course having money helps. It's rare that having money doesn't help. However even with all the money in the world you still need the mentality to stick to a routine that works for your objective.

Noddyholder that's interesting, I always sorta thought they were that thin naturally. I got down to 8 stone in my early 20s while eating like a horse but I was doing 5X 8 hour hard physical labour days a week

They may have the money to spend behind their looks but they still have to eat very less. No amount of money is going to help that. It must take a lot of willpower and restraint. I don't think I could get used to eating just a leafy salad for lunch every day.

When Joanna Lumley was on Graham Norton she said something along the lines of never eating breakfast or lunch and just having supper.

Actually I just Googled and apparently, she doesn't eat meals much at all. She sometimes snacks on few nuts or crisps in the day and the Guardian quotes her as saying "I looked into that new fasting diet but I do it anyway. Ican do without food for three days. I don't faint or cry."

Bloody hell. I'd be miserable.

I bet she smokes I have a friend who dies one meal a day she is 52 size 8 jeans and pretty much looks late 30 s no face work at all and endless energy.

She is way too skinny.
It is better to be overweight when you are older. It puffs the face out and gets rid of the wrinkles.
The body you can hide.
