Six Signs Supermodels Aren't Super
Karolina Kurkova struts down the runway, probably not realizing that the media will then tear her to shreds. Apparently she doesn't know anyone in the fashion industry with an eating disorder. Really, Gisele? Campbell tumbles on the Vivienne Westwood runway in too-high platforms. Christie Brinkley knows the best revenge is to look good. Walking in 7 inch heels ain KM pictured with a more demure, covered-up Lila-Grace.

1)   Is Karolina Kurkova fat? 

Her appearance at Sao Paulo fashion week startled gossip queens and  the chain-smoking fashion circle, as they cattily snapped that her back-fat and cellulite left her unsuitable for a runway stomp. Proof that even models have trouble resisting truffled mac 'n' cheese and dulce de leche gelato.

 

2)  Gisele misunderstands reporter's questions, should probably refuse all future interview requests.

The latest cover girl for GQ, Bundchen is the focus of a lengthy article, where the reporter alternatively praises her for her good lucks and her inability to take an unflattering photo while exploiting her dim-wit responses and aloofness. Thanks GQ, for showing us, that no woman is good enough, ever, even if she is hysterically gorgeous.

 

3) Naomi Campbell has a host of issues.

Campbell, while one of the original Supermodels of the 90's, is not really so super in the 2000's. This will be her second stint performing community service due to her temper, and she is constantly being featured in the tabloids as being a hot mess. 

 

4) Supermodels aren't always lucky in love.

Even Christie Brinkley has men committing adultery, so what is the average Jane to do? I suppose it is a sort of comfort to  know that men will stray if they are inclined to; that it is no fault of your own (well, not necessarily...). 

 

5) If you were friends with a tight-rope walker, and they tripped walking down the sidewalk, that would be completely unacceptable.

They are paid to walk down a thin strip of runway, and some models are unable to fulfill this request in its entirety as they trip and stumble down the catwalk. Naomi Campbell, Jessica Stam, and Karen Elson have all infamously fumbled as fashion roadkill. 

 

6)They aren't above going to rehab. In fact, they often frequent the grounds. 

Kate Moss, although insanely successful as a model, is not a model citizen by any stretch of the imagination. Drug habits, late-night partying, and questionable boyfriends do not leave five-year-old daughter, Lila-Grace, with the best influence of parent-hood. I say this, yet, I still adore her.

It’s nice to know that even models aren't perfect and that they experience their fair share of pitfalls.
