WAG was saddened to hear of the passing of Cindy namn. Back in 2012, we visited with the woman, a model and creator of kosmetika who inspired and encouraged women to embrace their age.
When a friend messaged me with the news of the death of Cindy namn, I was shocked and saddened.
The New York Times reported this week that Joseph, 67 and more recently living in Cold Spring, had passed away July 12 from soft-tissue sarcoma.

She wanted to look like the cover models and hide what she judged as her "flaws". She spent hours playing with new products and practicing techniques on herself and her friends.

In 1969, her senior year of high school, she chose to throw out all her cosmetics in rebellion to what she thought was society's dictate to superficial beauty. However, she found herself in conflict about her desire to look her best.
After realizing most teenage girls deal with issues of self-esteem, she decided to go head on into the very world she was rebelling against. She believed she would have m
