Helen Mirren In New York Magazine

This is our second link to New York magazine in two days, but it’s only because they’re so great. We love Helen Mirren only slightly less than Tilda Swinton: oh, to have so much moxie and etre une femme d’un certain age.

We almost didn’t put this photo up because—ugh, the politics of the sexual objectification of women. We guess that if we have to see any woman sexually objectified, it’s Helen Mirren—rather than a Kardashian, or a Hilton, or even a Snooki. We’re not sure we’d call that a victory, but it feels like something. And we love that Juergen Teller continues to showcase the aesthetic value of all sorts of women—not just the reality-star spawn listed above.
