"  American Apparel, a clothing retailer my mom once confused for a Halloween superstore (true story), has a new model, and this time she&amp;#039;s not barely 18. In fact, she&amp;#039;s 62, and she&amp;#039;s pretty freaking awesome. Her name is\u00A0Jacky O&amp;#039;Shaughnessy, and she was discovered by the brand a few years ago while eating at a restaurant.\u00A0YOU GO, AMERICAN APPAREL/GLEN COCO. Speaking to\u00A0Fashionista, O&amp;#039;Shaughnessy said about her new job: &amp;quot;You know, I&amp;#039;ve read so many times that modeling is vapid at best. I found it to be engaging and creative. It requires energy and an ability to communicate without words.&amp;quot; This is great, and it&amp;#039;d be equally awesome to see some age diversity in all\u00A0fashion campaigns. My mom is adorable, and I&amp;#039;m willing to be her agent. Bebe, call me.\u00A0 Want more from Laura? Follow her on Twitter.
