Learning In Life

Mahdara asked Anderson how she manages to stay so determined and yet gentle in her life. Anderson replied: “I wanted to be in charge of my own sexuality and sensuality. I didn’t want other people to be in charge of that for me.”

Her connection with her own sensuality and self-image was formed from a very young age. She went on explain that “When it comes to beauty, I pretty much grew up at the Playboy mansion. I was surrounded by every kind of beautiful woman you could think of.”

Anderson watched the women’s looks and how they chose to carry themselves. “I wanted to be sexy too. I found that was powerful and interesting.”

Industry Reality

Anderson opened up about her beauty journey and the misogyny she faced while booking gigs in the industry. She recalled a moment when she was taken to a hotel meeting with a representative from a large makeup company, thinking she was auditioning.

“As being a Playboy [figure] people had the wrong idea. I just felt like I had to turn this around somehow and share some of the superficial attention with something more meaningful.” 

She had a long list of criteria for the brands she worked with, but she eventually became more mindful of them. In 2005, MAC, a prominent brand, chose her as a spokesperson for their Viva Glam campaign, which raises awareness and money for HIV/AIDS research and programs.

“We’re all trying to make ourselves beautiful so we are respected, admired and loved, so these products have to come from a loving place,” she concluded.
