Is the Supermodel Dead? And Should She Return?
Fashion Week starts tomorrow, and I'm excited to see some new faces on the runway. It's fun to spot top models such as Jessica Stam alongside up-and-comers like Hana Soukupova. For me, seeing the brand-new girls is one of the most exciting parts of any show.

Bella Donna: Florence Griffith-Joyner
Florence Griffith-Joyner, or Flo Jo, as most people know her, still holds the world record for the 100 and 200 meter dash 20 years after she last competed and 10 years after her untimely death at age 38. Although rumors of steroid use began to swirl after her stunning 1988 Olympic victories, and she retired only a year before steroid testing was to be implemented, the claims against her were never substantiated, and her records remain untarnished.
Besides being one of the fastest people ever to live, she was also a true beauty icon, an African-American woman with an athletic body and those signature long, perfect nails in a time when the first supermodels were emerging and the "right" look excluded most women of color and anyone who wasn't shaped like a very slender hourglass.
Five Fun Facts About Hand Models
Ah, a day in the life of a hand model. It's all about no cooking, no cleaning, or performing excessive actions in an effort to protect the hands. Or, in certain cases, it's all about standing in when the actress's hands aren't available.

Why Don't Supermodels Brush Their Hair?
I keep seeing pictures of models roaming the streets or attending events with disheveled hair. I can't understand why they don't take the time to brush it when beauty is their trade. I can understand why they go messy after getting primped day after day, and I don't expect anyone to look perfect all of the time.
The Met's Costume Institute Gala: Heidi Klum
Tonight's Costume Institute Gala is all about the models as muse, so it's no surprise to see Heidi Klum amongst the first to arrive — after all, the newly pregnant TV host, designer, and sometimes singer is one of the biggest supermodels in the world. Tonight, she decided to keep her beauty look rather simple, placing the focus, instead, on her Gilles Mendel gown and complementary earrings. But just because it was simple doesn't mean it wasn't stunning.

Then and Now: "The Big Six" Models
Before the Coco Rochas and the Agyness Deyns of the modeling world, there were "The Big Six," a crop of supermodels who dominated all things hair, fashion, and makeup in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These days, actresses and pop stars often fill the positions left behind by these powerhouse models. So, let's take a trip down memory lane to see how much these six ladies have — and haven't — changed.
