Extended Weekend Women

Models,.... boy do we love 'em! I am not talking about the models of today whom no one quite knows their names. I mean the Supermodels. Tall, curvaceous, beautiful, and basically untouchable for the common man. While Janice Dickinson cites herself as coining the phrase AND becoming the first "Supermodel". According to Vanity Fair, there are only six women that everyone knew by their first name, considered to be the pinnacle of beauty, and are best known for their Supermodel-ness, begining in the late 80's; Christy, Naomi, Stephanie, Cindy, Claudia, and, by most accounts, the leader of the pack was Linda.




Linda Evangelista garnered the fashion industry's attention when she first cut her hair extremely short, and went from brunette to platinum blond to flaming redhead in quick succession. By 1990, Linda had been on more than 60 magazine covers and once quipped "I don't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day!"




So keep in mind fellas, although you may date a model or two, unless you are talking about one of the "Sexiest Six"... I don't want to hear about it. Look for more on the Supermodels of that era soon, including Veronica Webb, Helena Christensen, Elle MacPherson and the youngster of the group, Kate Moss.

Thank you Linda Evangelista, for making Monday a bit less blue (and more blond and red.

And thank you to all Supermodels, for setting our standards so impossibly high!
