Staying Young at Any Age

In a recent article for Huffington Post, Irene Michaels explains the secrets to her continued success in the world of fashion and entertainment at the beautiful young age of… 70! Michaels is an unstoppable force that has managed to defy beauty standards and is unwilling to put a stop to her dreams and passions because of a silly thing as age.

An actress, journalist, entrepreneur, singer, accomplished equestrian, and muse to many, Michaels began her career as a model and dancer, opening her own studio - Show Time - before the age of 20, quickly establishing herself as a leader of fashion shows. As both her modeling and acting careers flourished, it was in the 90s, while doing film and theater, that she landed a recurring role on General Hospital.

Eventually, she’d turn the opportunity into learning about the other side of the camera and creating the company Behind The Scenes, which focused on producing promotional events. In 2004, Michaels decided to extend her entrepreneurial endeavors and formed IMA Contractors, a specialty firm that rehabs vintage Gold Coast homes.

As she continues to manage her businesses, while jet-setting across the world for modeling and journalism opportunities, Michaels got her hands into one more artistic outlet - social media. I On The Scene was created as a culture and society digital magazine publishing interviews, reviews and content featuring artists in the music, fashion and entertainment. Whether reporting from the red carpet at The Oscars or Golden Globes, or heading to some of the biggest polo matches in the world, Michaels “eye” on all things current, keeps her magazine fresh, relevant and on top of all things cool.

Of course, someone like Michaels would never be satisfied with all that she’s doing so in addition to reporting for I On The Scene, she is also a featured contributor to Huffington Post's’ Post 50 section, covering general life topics like health, beauty and end-of-life care issues, as well as having a secondary series in their Life Style section titled, I On Exceptional Living.

Speaking of exceptional living, this powerhouse symbolizes the strength and commitment to not giving up, not giving in and keeping that zest for being in the moment. Thanks to her success she has also been able to contribute regularly to non-profit organizations and local charities, while using her influence to bring attention to all the great work they do. Her affiliations run the gamut from PAWS to the Better Boys Foundations to the Theater School of DePaul.

With a fierce focus on living life to the fullest, Michaels most recent endeavor is her luxury skincare and beauty line. The I On Youth Collection focuses on anti-aging beauty and includes a roll-on serum for eyes, a brightening CC cream, make-up remover wipes, and a gel cream cleanser.
