Pictures popped up around the internetosphere recently of Stephanie Seymour frolicking on the beach with her 17- or 18-year-old son. Jezebel.com posted the pics with the headline, “

Imagine the dilemma from his standpoint though. He's 18, and he finds himself on the beach with a bikini-clad Stephanie Seymour.
She's 42 and still looks pretty freaking awesome. And there’s that ankle tattoo that semi-scandalized me as a kid.
Anyway, let’s cleanse the palate, shall we?

Stephanie in 1988. I have no idea why it’s black & white. But it’s too great a photo to pass up.
