Cindy Crawford has apparently just noticed that celebrities nab a lot of the plum modeling gigs nowadays. “I just saw the Covergirl commercial with Taylor Swift and I thought, ‘Wow, it is so hard for models to get a job these days.‘ You have to sing and act, too. There doesn’t seem to be as much work specifically just for models.” Has she not seen a cover of American Vogue in the past decade? [P6]
Crawford also related this anecdote about the time when her 9-year-old daughter, Kaia, interrupted grown-up time at the Crawford-Gerber household: “We had our door locked and we never lock our bedroom door and our daughter comes…She’s like, ‘What are you doing in there?’ I said, ‘You know what, Daddy and I are spending some time together,’ and then she was like, ‘Oh God! I don’t want to know that!’ Now, she knows if the door is closed and locked, don’t.” [Vogue UK]
Even more offensive than the thorough, industrial-grade
airbrushing Scarlett Johanson has received in order to be deemed an acceptable size, shape, and color to advertise
Dolce & Gabbana cosmetics on bus shelters and billboards, and even more offensive than the
Daily Mail‘s gleeful, body-mocking tone in pointing out said airbrushing, is the fact that in the ubiquitous paparazzi-shot-for-comparison, ScarJo is wearing those
obscene shoes that look like rubber gloves for your toes. Shudder. The shoes of nightmares. [
