The article is even better than the cover.
-We learn that she wants people to stop talking about her tits, even though the interview alludes to them practically every other paragraph.
-She's been working for a decade as a model
-She fell on the runway in London, Paris, and Milan. The trifecta!
-Men hollered at her since she was 10/11
-She likes Love Actually. Models, they're just like us! (Except they're prenaturally gorgeous and gap toothed. Damn it.)

Veruschka

The supermodel Veruschka conjures up many images: writhing like a sexthing for a snapping photographer in Blow Up, towering over everyone as an amazon, or covered in body paint as an animalistic prowess. Born Vera von Lehndorff in East Prussia, her dad tried to kill Hitler with the German Resistance, but failed and was assassinated. She stayed in various camps and stints in 13 schools and children called her a 'stork'. And usually when one is made fun of in school by shitty little kids for being gawky and tall, they become supermodels.

Starting out as a virtual unknown in NYC, and being dissed by Eileen Ford, she created the moniker of Veruschka, a name which pretty much gives off a whiff of sexuality, and adapted a alluring Russian background that rapt the fashion world. She appeared on 11 covers of Vogue and adapted a penchant for body paint. She took advantage of being a sixties bombshell and hooked up with a lineup of those virile Hollywood leading men back in the days (Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, Dustin Hoffman, etc.) She was always my favorite supermodel, what with her mysterious persona, penchant for promiscuity, and goodness I wanted her legs.

Currently, Veruschka roams around and lives in Berlin and is a devoted cat lady and artist.

pretty ghostly

Rodarte has hyped far and beyond, while being labeled as a mere show of cheap arts and crafts, and notoriously dismissed by Cathy Horyn as "shapeless sacks". Frankly, I can't see any fault in the sisters Mulleavy. They have shown another collection of beautiful chiffon genius, with dresses as sheer as the stick-thin models wearing them (see Karlie Kloss, above). Again, another collection inspired by Japan, this time by the horror element of the culture. And the gothic and ghostly makeup prevent the clothes from veering towards saccharine sweet prettiness. Although, is it wrong to say I want to wear Rodarte to my prom?

Natalie Hershlag

BEFORE she sported huge cinnabon hairpieces as Queen Amidala in Star Wars, Natalie Portman (real name:Natalie Hershlag) was a model. Here she is at 14, modeling for Isaac Mizrahi's line, before he became synonymous with everything Target. As Yoda would say in that daft accent of his, "Stunning and gorgeous she is utterly."

Also, this is proof that child models do succeed in the world and don't always end up in Promises.

Yes, I'm shameless

A little mancandy to satiate you lasses (and lads) for the day...

VNY's Sean Opry.

A Moment of Objectification

Although I haven't spoke much about male models here, Sean Opry makes me hungry for some really nice hunk of...meat, with a side of soft, delicious...biscuits. Okay enough sexually-charged dinner euphenisms here, he is just plain haaawt. And so pretty. Barely legal at 19 years of age and with VNY model management. God, I just read what I wrote and I sound like a voyuer, oh goodness.
