Nastasia Urbano, the Spanish model I am friends with whom I revealed last week was homeless, is doing well. She's currently staying with a friend in Barcelona, and I have even bigger news about her to share with you . . . tomorrow. I know you will be very pleased to hear it.
Nastasia is one of the great natural beauties in the modeling profession. She has always had one of those faces no makeup artist can improve on. Below is proof.
Taken some time in the early eighties, this picture shows Nastasia in all of her youthful innocence, though she appears to have the same facial expression she displays in her iconic Yves Saint Laurent ad, the picture from which I showed in my earlier post on this blog about her homelessness situation. (A clarification: I said in my earlier posts that that Yves Saint Laurent ad was for his Opium perfume, and while Nastasia did Opium-specific ads, the ad I refer to was a standard YSL ad, not specifically an ad for Opium. Those posts have since been reworded.) She may have played a the role of a goddess in that YSL ad, being all dolled up and glamorous, but this is the real Nastasia Urbano, the Nastasia you would have seen off-camera back in the early 1980s - a sweet, adoraable, accessible woman.
And the Nastasia Urbano you'd see off-camera today is not very different, as seen below in a picture from the mid-2010s. :-)
When her makeup comes off and her glamour disappears, the beautiful woman and the beautiful person that Nastasia is both shine through stronger than ever.
