“When I think about my job now, it’s so easy. Because you get so much free time, you get to travel everywhere. The people are nice and fun and easy and relaxed. You get to smoke at work. You make lots of money. Where are you ever going to find another job where you don’t have a boss or responsibilities, really, except to get on an airplane and just show up? It’s a bit worrying.” — Lara Stone recounts her perfect life for W. (source: fashionista)
Thank You, Ms. Stone! No super model is ever ever EVER allowed to complain about her job or try to convince us that it's hard work. Their line of biz may be short lived, but most of us will never know such privilege & pampering, not to mention obscene beauty & wealth. Enjoy it while it lasts, honey!
Hubba! Hubba! Pix like THiS make hitting ones 40s & moving on up toward the 50s look like a not so scary prospect after all. In fact, Elle Macpherson makes it look downright hawt. Granted, she's the super model deservedly known as "The Body", but she's also 46, a life long sun-worshipper, and a mother of two.
When I was a kid, my two favorite beauties to obsess on & feel maddeningly inferior to were Michelle Pfieffer & Paulina Porizkova. Paulina was the first supermodel I really fell in love-hate with. She was just sooo damn perfect! How was she even possible? Those cheekbones, those eyes, that skinny little nose... Oh what I would have given for a nose like that! How one lusts after another's nose is beyond me, but I did. The human ego & need to compare is too funny. And so is this video clip with Paulina announcing on Craig Ferguson's show last night that she was fired from America's Next Top Model (which none too coincidentally had it's season finale tonight). Fine! I've always thought she was too good for that nonsense anyhow. She's smart. She's funny. And a REAL top model.
