Jennifer Lopez is never one to shy away from showing a bit of skin and for the February/March issue of Complex magazine, the 45 year old singer goes sexy in a white body suit, flashing her nipples and showing off some front.
Jumping from a dancer to actor and singer, Jlo has certainly accomplished a lot in the past 20 years of her career. Looking totally ageless, the multi-talented mother of two talks about plastic surgery, aging, the Booty video and lots more in an interview with Gabe Alvarez for Complex magazine.
On criticisms about the Booty video being too racy :
“I’m not allowed to be sexy because I’m a mom? It’s like, How do you think I got my children? The truth is I don’t want to do anything that they would be embarrassed of in the long run. But at the end of the day, they care more about me being there, taking care of them, than if I’m sexy in a video. And I’m not saying that one day they may not be like, ‘Mom! Why did you do that?!’ But I don’t think that in 10 years I’m going to be doing that either. Again, it’s about what feels good to me in this moment. It felt right. It’s a good message for women. I’m standing next to this girl who is 24 years old and I’m in my 40s and there’s no difference. Women need to see that and feel that. You can’t let the fear of what people might say or think stop you from doing what you want to do or else we would never do anything.”
On Aging:
“I feel great about being able to do everything that I did in my 20’s better now. That’s what happens as you mature, you get better. You have more experience. And I’m proud of that. That other rhetoric, like the fairy tale rhetoric, in your mind can defeat you. And this generation of women said, ‘No. We have a lot to offer.’ Probably more than we ever have. And it’s great for girls that are young right now to go, ‘I have time.’ It’s a long road. And for me, I feel like mine has just begun.”
On Plastic surgery and how it might affect her daughter :
“Yeah, what is she gonna want to do, or how good is she gonna feel about herself? I hope to show her from example that you have to love yourself for who you are. And that doesn’t mean that you can’t do things to enhance yourself, like work out, or if somebody wants to get a nose job. I don’t know. You can take a hard stance on things and then eat your words later. All I’m saying is, at the end of the day, you got to feel happy about who you are inside, and then you can make good choices for yourself.”
