Legendary Supermodels: Then and Now

BellaSugar — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 03:15:35 PDT

In the 1990s, it was all about the "big six" models, an aesthetically-blessed group that consisted of top earners such as Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, and Cindy Crawford.

While a debate exists over who coined the term supermodel, Swedish model Lisa Fonssagrives, who was at the height of her career from the '30s through the '50s, is often credited as the world's first. But many models who came afterward earned legendary status. So to see what some of these famed models are up to now, just read on.

Do You Think Being a Supermodel Is a Real Job?

SavvySugar — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 13:45:33 PDT

Some of you roll your eyes when you hear another supermodel fretting about her job. I mean, what else does she have to do other than to look pretty, right? Paulina Porizkova writes in the Huffington Post:

But unlike those other gifts also allotted at birth: talent, strength, wit or intelligence --which you have to cultivate to fully develop before you reap rewards-- beauty is instant. Just add water, and boom, you can get lots of extra attention from people, and later, you can become a model, a stripper, a girlfriend of someone famous or a TV personality.

Paulina says the supermodel career is commonly seen as a "shallow calling," but it's really not fair because models are just capitalizing on their natural talent. After all, would you consider it shallow for J.K. Rowling to take advantage of her knack for storytelling? I imagine being a model is no easy job - having the constant limelight on you can be very stressful. The pressure to be thin and catty co-workers makes modeling a lot tougher than it seems.

Mary-Kate, Ashley, Heidi, and More Toast amfAR Before FW

PopSugar — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 07:00:00 PST

The amfAR charity managed to get big names to come out in the NYC snow last night for its annual gala. The year's event honored longtime friend of the organization Natasha Richardson, whose mother Vanessa Redgrave posed with her sister Joely Richardson on the red carpet. Joining the women were other stars gearing up for Fashion Week, which starts today, like Mary-Kate Olsen, Ashley Olsen, and Zoe Saldana. Heidi Klum took time off from working on Germany's Next Top Model, while Chloe Sevigny enjoyed her second evening out in a row after Tuesday's party celebrating How to Make It in America's upcoming debut.

The gang was treated to a performance from Lady Gaga, who was back in top form wearing one of her typically eclectic costumes with pearls on her face. Right by Gaga's side was Cyndi Lauper, with both ladies enjoying some fun after their long day of interviews promoting their new lipsticks benefiting MAC's AIDS fund. Meryl Streep also took the stage to address a crowd that included Eliza Dushku and Rick Fox. The party was all about philanthropy, but there were good times to be had for Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, Zoe Kravitz, and Doutzen Kroes.

FABTV: The Cars "You Might Think"

FabSugar — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 07:12:22 PST

Who doesn't love The Cars? They're new wave, but a smidgen pop. Their tunes are cool and catchy. Top that. I remember seeing this video as a wee lassie and loving its surreal playfulness. It's ultimately a romantic song, though lead singer Ric Ocasek isn't stalking his bride model Paulina Porizkova in it. Some blond chick, but she's still cute. The neon-like props against the black background are unmistakably '80s - it was 1984, after all. But the song still rocks. My favorite part in the video is when blondie opens her medicine cabinet to see the mini band rocking out - silly.

Fab Read: Sex, Love, and Fashion, A Memoir of a Male Model

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:00:22 PDT

Kissing and telling is usually taboo. Contrary to that belief, Bruce Hulse decided to dish all about his former life as a Calvin Klein model in his book Sex, Love, and Fashion: A Memoir of a Male Model ($16). The memoir rumors to expose explicit, juicy details on Hulse's exciting life including romantic escapades with models such as Andie MacDowell and Paulina Porizkova to name a few.

If you're itching for a preview, here's a leaked excerpt from his rendezvous with Porizkova: "I arrived at Paulina's hotel room only to find her wearing next to nothing. I was doomed. Within seconds we were all over each other. We completely tore up the room." Did that leave you wanting more? The book is set to release August 5 and is available for preorder.

Should America's Next Top Model Screen Candidates Making Sure They Have a Genuine Interest in Fashion?

FabSugar — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 05:00:22 PST

Just when I was beginning to get bored with America's Next Top Model, Tyra and her crew did a little switcharoo. Thank you! First they took the production to New York - smart move - then, they brought on old-school Czech model Paulina Porizkova as a guest judge. Though the caliber of models still isn't great, there are a couple with high-fashion potential. But more on that later. Let's talk about quitter Kim from Worcester, New York. What the bleep? How can you want to be a model when you don't like, much less live and breathe, fashion?

On several occasions, she expressed not believing in paying an obscene amount on clothes. Tyra told her that "one don't need to spend a lot of money to love fashion," duh! Still, it wasn't enough to convince Kim to stay. Because of what happened last night, do you think ANTM should screen candidates to make sure they have a genuine interest in fashion?

Are You Digging "Dancing With the Stars"?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 09:04:45 PDT

I have to admit: My enthusiasm for "Dancing With the Stars" has been dampened now that the very charming Paulina Porizkova was eliminated. But the show is still going strong in the ratings. Are you guys watching this season?
