The Beauty of Retrospect: Kim Alexis with Beverly Johnson for Avon

I'm going to devote March to a look back at actresses I've already featured on this blog, but before I do that, I'd like to look back at models I've featured here before with photos from the vast collection of modeling pictures I've accumulated.  And here's one of the loveliest pictures I've come across - a two-fer showing one of the greatest models of one decade with one of the greatest models of another.

Kim Alexis was just beginning her modeling career when she posed for this Avon catalog photo from around 1981 with Beverly Johnson,  a seventies veteran and already an icon in the modeling profession by the time this photo was taken.  Even though this is for a makeup promotion, the first thing you notice is how naturally perfect their faces are . . . mainly their eyes, their lips, and those incredible cheekbones.

And yes, as one of them is white and the other one is black, this picture is a testament to how feminine beauty comes in all colors and how diverse it is.

I last featured Kim Alexis in June 2014 and I last featured Beverly Johnson in December 2017.
