Paulina Porizkova‘s latest video reminds us of two things: enjoy our lives to the fullest, and that gray hair is so dang fabulous.
On June 20, Porizkova shared a rare video of herself eating a treat from her childhood. She said, “Kolace are as ubiquitous to Czechs as baguettes are to the French, or apple pie to Americans. I grew up on these babies. You had them for breakfast, snack, dinner- whenever you felt a hunger pang. It’s also the scent of my childhood: vanilla, sugar, butter warming in a summer sun garden bursting with elderflower trees and roses.”

“While Czech film making does not seem to involve a ‘craft’ table (a table filled with many assorted snacks, even a few healthy ones like fruit) as it does in the US, it does involve crates of kolace,” she added. “I haven’t been able to keep my hands off of these buttery sweet moments of childhood, so readily available every day.”
She then ended by saying, “My 8/16 hour fast is out the window and my clothing is getting tighter. I have two choices (in my opinion): indulge and enjoy, or abstain and feel virtuous. I like both options, but for now, I think you know my choice. 😉 #betweenjloandbettywhite #makingmovies #kolace #bardotkyfilm.”
In the cozy video, we see Porizkova eating a treat from her childhood, embracing her roots. We also see her looking as radiant as can be, with her iconic gray curls in full view. Truly, she looks so gorgeous in this behind-the-scenes moment.
And we also love her reminder for people to enjoy themselves, and indulge in the things they love! Louder for the people in the back!

Now, this is not the first, nor will it be the last, time Porizkova has reminded people that life does get better with age; and how it’s important to stay in shape to be able to do so many things.
“Staying in shape takes much more time and effort, but it allows me to fully inhabit this shell I was given at birth, something I took for granted most of my life. But not anymore. Now it’s a deliberate decision to allow it to work as best as it can, being grateful for its ability to move me through the world to keep harvesting the beauty of it all. Pain included,” she told SheKnows in April 2023.
