Supermodel Helena Christensen, a bona fide cougar at age 40, shows some skin in the new issue of Elle, posing topless and revealing her love for “the female shape.”

“I love breasts. I love the female shape,” she says.

“It’s crazy – you can have movie posters with men with machine guns but oh, God forbid you show the nipples! That never ceases to amaze me. It’s flabbergasting.”

Hard to argue with that. She continues her analysis: “I can understand if you have your legs spread and you push yourself into the camera – that’s sexually erotic.”

“But the sensual contours in the male or female shape? Come on, guys, relax. So I have no problems with it … But I’m Danish. Everyone’s naked on the beaches.”

“We don’t really give a sh!t.”

Breasts aren’t the only thing Helena Christensen is outspoken about.

The model’s attitude toward fashion? “F*%k everybody.”

She told the magazine: “I think you’ve gotta have a f*%k everybody attitude about it. I gotta do what I feel like doing. If I feel like dressing ridiculous today, I will.”

That’s the Lindsay Lohan approach … only she doesn’t know it.

“I don’t care. I love seeing people on the street where I’m thinking, “What’s going on there? OK, that is wrong on so many levels, but pretty cool at the same time!’”

Sort of like how we interpret these Helena Christensen pictures. It should be a crime for someone to look so good at 40, and yet it’s pretty cool … to say the least.
