I'd forgotten about Nicki Taylor. What's she doing these days?

Here you go, batmom, Niki's own website. As for the unofficial story of what happened to her? I thought she got badly injured in that car crash a few years ago and had to have a fair bit of reconstructive surgery. As you would expect, she's never looked quite the same since and her career has never really recovered. I don't think she's aged all that well either - she's only 29 but she looks, well, weather-beaten. Too much tanning, I guess. I'm not sure what's happened in her personal life since then - she broke up with her twins' baby-daddy ages ago and since then I've haven't heard too much.

I also think Naomi is so much better looking now - more interesting angles in her face.

I don't think the wreck messed up her face. I'm pretty sure it was all internal injuries which nearly killed her. It seems like she was on Oprah last year talking about the accident. She said that when the accident first happened, no one knew she was hurt because there was no blood. I know she has had many surgeries because of the liver damage so I bet she has lots of scars on her torso.

From what I understand, Niki Taylor does have quite a few scars on her torso from all the surgeries - there was some hub-bub a while back because a photo of her torso got out.
She also had some sort of addiction problem - I don't know if it started before or after her accident, and I don't remember if it was booze or pills.

I feel bad for Niki Taylor. She is one celebrity who has been through a ton of really shitty things rather than the standard celebrity whining about the mean ol' paparazzi and blah blah.
She was addicted to pills. Maybe booze too at some point, but definately to pills a few years back. Also, I heard the car accident sliced up her liver and that the doctors all figured she would die when she came into the hospital after the accident because there was so much internal damage. I saw her last year as a judge on one of those cheesy beauty pageants, either Miss America or Miss Teen USA, and she looked awful, really rough and kind of bloated. Maybe she was on pain meds.
Unpopular opinion here, but I never thought Christy Turlington was pretty. She's all weird-looking and harsh.

I feel sorry for her too. It seems a lot of her problems started after her little sister (Krissy) died.

What does everyone think of Maria Carla? Can't STAND her. I think that she looks like a tired **** working overtime. Plus, I've had to dress her at shows, and she's...GAH!...unbearable. link

Her skin certainly looks a little, um, worn in that photo you posted. But pray tell, why was she so unbearable?
ETA - because tags that work are our friends.

Arrgh. She walked up to her rack like she was the bloody Queen of the May, first of all. Her first impression was extremely off-putting. She deigned to respond to my greeting and introduction, then was just a fussy biznatch while I was getting her ready. A sigh here, an eye roll there. Models are usually super nice to the dressers (face it, you can't possibly look good without us, and they know it. And we talk. Word gets around.) I think she went and smoked in the clothes, too (HUUUUGE NO NO). It was like she had this veil of witchiness, or had a bad smell under her nose. I hoped that that experience would be the last, but sorry, no. I think I did another two with her before I finally had a little word with the person that assigns us : P
I've dressed shows with Miss Naomi...who gave off a diva impression, but was cool and fierce as hell.
MC just reeks of Eau de Witch.
Yet another sickening point...
That's from the NY Times Style section, referencing the upswing in Eastern Euro models. I don't even know where to start with this quote; there's just so much wrong here.
