models

Of course this post is all about the visual aesthetics. That’s why they’re models. To be alluring, so that the viewer becomes hypnotised and the next thing they know they’ve bought the clothing because they want to look like the model, or has the hairstyle to look like the model, or buys the accessory to feel like the model.
There are actors who model, then there are models who try to act, there are strictly fashion models and there are adult models (models who bare it all), and then there are the super-models.
Supermodel Linda Evangelista famously said many years ago, “I don’t get out of bed for less than ten thousand dollars.” The supermodel was born. Fair call, I guess. Evangelista was part of the core group of the original supermodels which featured Cindy Crawford (whom Prince wrote a flirtatious song about on his infamous Black Album called Cindy C.), Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Helena Christensen, Claudia Schiffer, Tatiana Patitz. There were others that floated peripherally, but those ones were the most famous.
David Bowie married a famous model; Iman. Many other rock stars and some actors have dated and had relationships with models, such as the late Michael Hutchinson, who was with Helena Christiansen for a few years. That Babyshambles frontman dated Kate Moss for awhile. Tommy Lee married Pamela Anderson. The list goes on and on.
Models work the runway, play the catwalk, schmooze the catalogues, drink the champagne, powder their noses, and throw tantrums when they don’t get their own way. Okay, so I’m generalizing. I haven’t got much to say for this post. What is there to say? Models; seen, and seldom heard. Pretty faces, gorgeous figures, pony walks. Some models are way too thin. That whole heroin chic bullshit that was around for while seems to still be poking out its ribs; it’s as ugly as sin. Call me old fashioned, but a model should have some curves, and not look like she’s been starving herself.
As for the male models, it’s funny, but there really aren’t many famous ones at all. And they all look the same too. It’s a weird anomaly, but the world of modeling is very female-centric. Of course there are thousands of male models. But I couldn’t be bothered finding any pics of them. The women rule.
So here they are.
Of course, none of these models are as beautiful as my Mediterranean lover, my Butterfly Blue, but she prefers to be on the other side of the camera herself. And I'll be showcasing some of her best work in the future. Of the supermodels I was a big fan of Christy Turlington back in the day, until I saw Laetitia Casta and Adriana Lima. Of the adult models Alley Baggett and Tabatha Cash win hands down. Of the actors who model young Josie Maran is the quiet achiever here, but Claire Forlani smoulders. And then there's the divine curves of Morian Atias.
