Sarah Jessica Parker Tells Elle, 'Oh My God, I'm Aging All the Time'

Sarah Jessica Parker's days as Carrie Bradshaw made her a household name, but the actress' roles as a wife, mother, and Chief Creative Officer (at Halston) are taking center stage these days. In the January issue of Elle, on which Parker graces the cover, the 45-year-old actress opens up about becoming a mother again in her 40s and why she's forgoing surgery in favor of letting nature take its course. "I don't know what I can do about the aging," she says. "Yes, I am aging. Oh my God, I'm aging all the time. It's like those flowers that wilt in front of you in time-lapse films. But what can I possibly do? Look like a lunatic?"

On meeting the twins after their birth:
"[Meeting them] is hard to describe. Everything is suspended. I can't even tell you what other sounds were in the room. I loved them immediately, but everything-their size, the shape of their heads, the color of their hair, their noses, their eyes-was new to me. They looked surprisingly different from James Wilkie, which I wasn't expecting."

On her reaction to being offered the position of President and Chief Creative Officer at Halston and Halston Heritage:
"I kept saying, 'You understand, by offering this you are going to be criticized?' It took me a long time to say yes."

On taking her role at Halston very seriously:
"I said, 'Please know this now: I will never do this for a title. I will never dip in and out of this. I'll do it like everything else I've ever done. I'll be involved down to the splitting of the atom.'"

On her design skills:
"I might not have the language; I can't always tell you the exact blend of a fabric, but I figure it out."

On her daughter Tabitha's style:
"She's crazy for bows; she wants her head covered in them."

Sarah Jessica Parker Tells Elle, "Gosh Wilber".

By MAGOOS

Yes, Ms Parker, it happens to everybody and it shows too, especially if they do not have the money to spend on anti- aging products! You are at least aging gracefully so be thankful for that.

Age gracefully; look normal; instead of like a plastic Barbie. Sarah Jessica is aging and yet still looks great! All the Sex and the City Girls look natural and beautiful. :)

Put her out to pasture.

People think that is pretty? She looks like a witch with the big nose, squinty eyes and long skinny face. I can't understand how she is called beautiful.
