Writer, actress, and (super)model Paulina Porizkova—whose memoir, No Filter, came out Wednesday—has lot to say about our society’s fixation on youth and its fear of nudity. We talk about that plus so much more: beauty culture under communist rule, navigating dating apps as a (very tall) 57-year-old woman, how the #metoo movement affected the modeling industry, and how her honesty has gotten her in trouble in the past.
