Brains, Beauty and Faith Not Mutually Exclusive; Celebrity Women of Faith are Important Role Models

Teresa Neumann : Jul 6, 2009  Karen Goldberg Goff - The Washington Times

"I love the fact we are seeing glamorous women who have some moral absolutes and have families."

Carrie PrejeanReporting for the Washington Times, Karen Goldberg Goff has written a piece on what she calls "a new era dawning" for women of faith who also happen to be beautiful celebrities, debunking the assumption that looks and brains don't mix and that women of faith are disadvantaged in the world of politics and big business.

Goff uses several women as examples, but focuses on former supermodel Kathy Ireland, mother of three, who is now the chief executive officer of a $1.4 billion company and a supporter of several faith-based organizations such as Tangle.com.

In her new book, Real Solutions for Busy Moms: Your Guide to Success and Serenity, Ireland relates how she was saved at 18 while on a photoshoot in France. She picked up a Bible out of "boredom, jet lag and lonliness."

"It really transformed my life," she writes. "I knew I was holding the truth in my hands. A living faith in God is more than believing in him and going to church. It is an ongoing relationship that takes time."

Michelle Borquez, founder of Shine Magazine, agrees. "I love the fact we are seeing glamorous women who have some moral absolutes and have families," she said, noting that beauty and beliefs—including political and religious beliefs—can coexist surprisingly well.

Sarah Anne Sumpleoc of Fredericksburg, Va., who writes the blog Girls, God and the Good Life, says: "Whether you are 13 or 30, we all look for role models," We want to say, 'I want to be like that.' There are a whole lot of women doing amazing things, living what they believe and not afraid to show it."
