Model Oleda Baker Recreates 25-Year-Old Photo

How much have you changed over the past 25 years? Do you think you look better than ever or are things not quite where you left them?

Oleda Baker proves that it's possible to keep getting better, happier and healthier with age.

Oleda spent decades in front of the camera, working as a fashion model. This photo, an ad for perfume, was taken in 1986, when Oleda was 51 years old.

Last week, Oleda and her husband decided to have a little fun. They recreated this exact photo to prove that older IS bolder. And did we mention that Oleda is 76 years old?!?

WOW! And Oleda is quick to point out that she's never had a facelift and this photo was not retouched at all. When she posted the picture to Facebook, some people started teasing her that it wasn't possible that this was a recent photo.

So Oleda and Richard headed back into the studio with a very time sensitive prop -- the new issue of TIME magazine.

Oleda is much more than just a pretty face. She's a painter, a businesswoman and the author of "Breaking the Age Barrier: Great Looks and Health at Any Age." To learn much more about her secrets to "ageless beauty," visit her website www.oleda.com.

In the coming weeks, we're going to take our cameras to Oleda's studios ourselves to prove there's no camera tricks going on with these pictures. In the meantime, check out our previous stories with Oleda.
