Now she is the face of a sparkling
wine called Bellissima! It is her very own wine label. Her United States sales
are rising about 1/3rd each year. Sure there are a lot of sparkling
wines out there to choose from but none are called Bellissima and has her image
on every bottle. Christie has had more than 4 decades with a modeling career.
Just point a camera at her and she can instantly strike a perfect pose and
picture. She owns a winery about an hour north of Venice in Italy where she has
found the perfect grapes to make the perfect wine. She has also found the
fountain of youth since at age 63 she still looks like she is in her twenties.
38 years ago she became America’s
poster girl by appearing on three consecutive Sports Illustrated covers then
from 1979 to 1981. No one else has done that. Who gets to play herself in her
pop star husband’s music video? She did
that too with the song Uptown Girl. Billy Joel was one of four husbands and
four divorces. She has come a long way since her childhood in Michigan. As a
teen she never perused becoming a model. She was discovered on a line in a post
office. Imagine buying stamps will get you a glamorous good career. Throughout her life she also managed to have the time to have 4 beautiful kids too. Most of us
could only wish that happening to us but most of us don’t have natural super
model looks. Sigh!
Let’s add to all that good stuff
achieved in life being asked to play Roxey in a Broadway production of the
musical called Chicago. She did that too. Christie has used her fame and good
looks in product promotions too. She now owns her own Christie Brinkley skin
care line of products. She has maintained her girlish figure all her life too
so sell a gym line of products as well. Now we all think that if we buy her
facial creams we will be as pretty as her. If we buy her gum equipment we will have
a hot body too. We can even relax with a bottle of her Italian sparkling wine. After
all that can we too say, “It’s good to be Christie Brinkley?”
It is obvious that her theme is
to always look your best. So she boasts that her Prosecco white wine is
organic, and includes a sugar free option. It is safe for people with diabetes
and has 0 carbs. So her wine is healthy too? The woman is no where near
retirement even though she is of retirement age.
