"I don't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day"Well that sums her up. If she stays in bed does she prostitute herself for less?
She also was quoted as saying:
"It was God who made me so beautiful. If he hadn't I would have been a teacher"
Well Linda I guess you would have missed out there as well as it takes intelligence to be a teacher and a sense of ethics, morality and caring to be a good one.
Now I can understand the necessity of having clothes horses to model fashion wear as well as everyday clothing to give potential buyers an idea of what the items look like on a person but the whole business of using skinny models is offensive.
Even if this wasn't offensive then, to me , it's just a job. Someone has to do it and I guess if they're easy on the eyes it's all the better. But why do they have to be called 'super'?
This whole thing has got a bit ridiculous over the last 30 years with now, any skinny skank in a short dress is called a supermodel. My question is - where are the ordinary models?
Today on Yahoo news I saw this which has taken the whole ting to ridiculous lengths:
"With her beautiful blue eyes, honey-coloured tresses and luminous skin, it's no wonder that Kristina Pimenova is Russia's latest supermodel"
The girl is 8 years old.
No wonder the world is populated with Jimmy Savilles and Rolf Harris types.
In the NZ Herald this week I read a scathing article by Bob Jones on boardwalk models.
Now old Bob is a pain-in-the-arse greedy and grasping capitalist but occasionally is spot on with his observations.
He wondered at why models and especially these 'super' models are seen by young women and girls as inspirational and the industry as desirable. Bob asks how challenging is it to walk down a catwalk and if this is the pinnacle of achievement to be sought then god help us all.
Well, for some of these hopeful young things who cannot be teachers, the occupation may well be challenging and the highest that can be achieved.

Well done. Good read.
It doesn't take much I intelligence to be a teacher. I got in, after all. I would have preferred to be a super model.
