It would be nice to see a fashion range that is geared towards a vibrant, sexual, confident 50-something.
From Marie Helvin
But I'd made up my mind early on in life that I never wanted to be a mother.
Monogamy is not something that's important to me. I don't think it defines love.
I'm slim for professional reasons, and I work at it. I really want to continue working. There aren't that many models who are still doing it at 60.
I wasn't interested in having children of my own. I know what would have happened - I'd have been left at home to look after the kids, and my career would have been over while my husband travelled the world.
My marriage to David Bailey ended one morning in 1983, while he was away on a photo-shoot.
Even in the early Eighties, when I was one of the most successful models in Britain, I didn't really have a voice. Time after time, when I should have spoken up, I simply walked away.
Not having alcohol has kept the weight off around my waist; my skin feels so much better, and I am sleeping really well.
I never get asked out by men my own age, as they all want to go out with 20-year-olds, and the men that do ask me out are too young.
Whilst I may look good, I do find it hard to find the right man.
