The Modeling Industry

So the mysterious Videotape Bandits strike again. How very...convenient.

Yeah sounds like he had nothing to do with it.

Why does anyone even let themselves be taped anymore?

[SluttyMary]

Does everyone have a sex-tape nowadays and I'm the only one who still thinks it's pretty ick to have a tape of myself having sex? I mean, does someone actually enjoy watching themselves?

Topic: I never understood what is so special about Giselle Bundchen.

I wish the blog skin deep was still around. It showed before and after photos of Giselle Bundchen, and she was quite homely before. Her nose and breast jobs were fairly obvious as well.

I think Gisele is still homely.

I think Kate Dillon is gorgeous, and Sophie Dahl is quite pretty too (although she seems to have dropped off the face of the earth since losing weight). I also think Tyra is beautiful, even though she's annoying on ANTM.

I've never gotten the appeal of Cindy Crawford. She just looks like a bimbo to me. Big, overstyled hair, too much makeup, etc. And I know it's not her thread but man, she is one lousy actress. Makes Madonna look like an Oscar winner.

Nooo...Fair Game was a masterpiece...I TOTALLY bought her as this tough lawyer, and I was especially touched by her very realistic screaming

[kostgard]

Heh, Fair Game is one of those "No, you still have taste" movies for me. See, every now and again I wonder if I have no taste because I like everything I see, and I know it can't possibly ALL be good, then I see something like this and think, "I think this is crap. Thank God. I was starting to worry about myself."

I liked Cindy all right as a model, except she never looked clean to me - like she always had a thin layer of dirt on her skin. Like she walked along the freeway on her way to the shoot and got covered in dirt and exhaust fumes. I'm sure it is just her complexion, but I've never seen her with that freshly scrubbed look a lot of people can achieve.

I could never see anything noteworthy about Linda Evangelista. She had these exaggerated arched eyebrows, slanted eyes and a gummy sneer that made her look like received a severe facelift. I always saw her constant changes in hairstyles and hair colour as an admission that no hair style or hair colour could be found to flatter her face.

Naomi Campbell is just sad. Her peers have retired from the runway, but it's like she has no exit strategy. She's going to end up being served with many restraining orders.

Funny, I think Linda Evangelista might just be the most beautiful woman in the world. She can change hair color cause she looks incredible in anything.

Well, part of that is that she has aged the best out of all the 1990s supermodels. But yes, she doesn't seem to have a back-up plan for what she will do once she stops getting booked for jobs. Then again, what do you do once you've been one of the most photographed women in the world? I've listed below what I can gather from reading various tabloids about the other supermodels and they all seem to be relying on their modeling past in one way or another:

Christy Turlington = yoga clothes, motherhood
Claudia = motherhood
Elle Macpherson = lingerie brand, motherhood
Stephanie Seymour - trophy wife, motherhood
Tyra = godawful tv shows
Karen Mulder = mental ward/rehab
Linda Evangelista = career resurgence?
Kate Moss = well, we all know what she's up to!
Cindy Crawford = product endorsement/ motherhood
