AARP The Magazine, the definitive voice for 50+ Americans and the world's largest-circulation magazine with more than 33 million readers, announced the winners of the 2008 Faces of 50+ Real People Model Search.

Lake Tahoe-based Susanna Gascoine, a Realtor for Chase International, was chosen in The Faces of 50+ Real People Model Search which looks for vivacious, active men and women who reflect AARP and the magazine's belief that beauty and style don't expire as you age.

After combing through over 14,000 applicants from online submissions and entries gathered at the 2nd annual AARP The Magazine Road Show, AARP The Magazine selected eight "faces" and left it up to America to choose the final two "Reader's Choice" winners.

The winners were chosen because they truly embody the best qualities of 50+ America and are revealed in the magazine's March/April issue in a feature story spotlighting smart spring looks and style tips.

Contestants entered the model search by having their pictures taken at the AARP The Magazine Road Show stops or by submitting their photo online at www.aarpmagazine.org/modelsearch. The magazine's editors then hand- selected eight of the winning models in age groups 50-59, 60-69, and 70+, in addition to 16 Reader's Choice finalists to be voted on, online by readers.

After more than ten thousand votes were logged, the final two Reader's Choice winners emerged.
