A nude model speaks after the show

April 26, 2011 • Posted in Beth Finke, blindness, Uncategorized by

We may not have made it onto the Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday, but now you can link to my infamous 2002 After the Show appearance on oprah.com. The clip is called “A Nude Model Speaks After the Show and they describe it like this:

After the cameras stopped rolling in 2002, an audience member stood up to share her story about how she lost her sight, her career and became a nude model. Watch this moment unfold.

You may be relieved to know that I am indeed wearing clothes in the clip. The show that day was about “aging gracefully” and now I wonder…do I look ten years older? You be the judge!

I’d say you look about 26, don’t you agree?

Yes! Totally agree.

Some of us guys want to know if there is a descriptive video.

Ahem. Did you catch the part of this post where I said I have clothes *on* during the clip?!?!

Your a stich! Loved the clip

You’re a natural for TV, I really mean it. Maybe you should pursue that in the future??? Great piece…. And you look EXACTLY the same…..I’m sooooooo jealous, you don’t look like you aged a day….no kidding! Those damned mirrors, they definitely show me I don’t look the same as ten years ago. 🙂 Guess I’ll have to “stop looking in them.” LOL

Beth, I was able to pull it up this time. Maria’s right. You DO look exactly the same all these years later.

As you know, I’m an “Almost on Oprah” too.

hahahahahaha! Yep, 26, that’s what I’d estimate. Go, Beth.
