The Wisdom Of Models
I laughed my head off after i go this e-mail… it’s nice to see that the models who’re splattered all over the magazines and TV ads and websites aren’t actually as perfect as they look… i felt so smart after reading this… Enjoy :p

Cindy Crawford On Courage:
“They were doing a full back shot of me in a swimsuit and I thought, ‘Oh my God, I have to be so brave.’ See, every woman hates herself from behind.”
On Occupational Hazards:
“I tried on 250 bathing suits in one afternoon and ended up having little scabs up and down my thighs, probably from some of those with sequins all over them.”

Beverly Johnson On Poverty:
“Everyone should have enough money to get plastic surgery.”
On Heredity:
“My husband was just OK looking. I was in labor and I said to him,’ What if she’s ugly? You’re ugly.’”

Christie Brinkley On Fate:
“I wish my butt did not go sideways but I guess I have to face that.”

Tatjana Patitz On Self-Esteem:
“I loved making ‘Rising Sun.’ I got into the psychology of why she liked to get strangled and tied up in plastic bags. It has to do with low self-worth.”
On Paradox:
“Sometimes I get lonely, but it’s nice to be alone.”

Kim Alexis On Priorities:
“I would rather exercise than read a newspaper.”

Tyra Banks On Inner Strength:
“I love the confidence that makeup gives me.”
On Travel:
“I haven’t seen the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre. I haven’t seen anything. I don’t really care.”

Gabrielle Reece On Breakthroughs:
“Once I got past my anger toward my mother, I began to excel in volleyball and modeling.”

Cheryl Tiegs On The Basics:
“It’s very important to have the right clothing to exercise in. If you throw on an old T-shirt or sweats, it’s not inspiring for your workout.”

Naomi Campbell On Tragedy:
“The worst was when my skirt fell down to my ankles but I had on thick tights underneath.”

Carol Alt On Instinct:
“If I’m making a movie and get hungry, I call time-out and eat some crackers.”

Linda Evangelista On Economics:
“I don’t even wake up for less than $10,000 a day.”
On Deprivation:
“If they had Nautilus on the Concorde, I would work out all the time.”
On Versatility:
“I can do anything you want me to do so long as I don’t have to speak.”

Paulina Porizkova On Thought:
“When I model, I pretty much go blank. You can’t think too much or it just doesn’t work.”

And last but not least, the Queen of “Smart” Models :p
Kate Moss On Motivation:
“It was kind of boring for me to have to eat. I would know that I had to and I would.”
