the fickle fashion press seems to be tired of her.
Even Ellen Von Unwerth has admitted Claudia is not as much a "model".
Claudia is a "look" If she changes it, she is not what "Claudia" is.
Outside that, don't underestimate a girl who was at the top of her class,
and on the road to becoming an attorney when she was discovered. She
speaks several languages, and was raised well by her father, who is a very
successful attorney, and her mother. Money is not that new, nor important.

Hair color: Light Brown

Born: Aug 1968 in San Diego California, USA
Stephanie Seymour has modeled swimsuits for Sports Illustrated, and
was also the primary spokesmodel for Victoria's Secret Catalogue.
She has done at least two pictorials for Playboy; the first in
March 1991, the second in February 1993. Was going with Axl Rose,
the rock star, but broke up in early '93. Rumored to be seeing
Peter Brant, Publisher: Interview mag, who is married with five kids.
She has a son, Dylan Thomas. Lying about her age, probably 30+.
Told Cosmo that she was 25, back in 1989 (+5 = 30) Still is
everyone's favorite Lingerie model. Shows up in the CD-ROM game
"HELL" as "Cynna Stone" explosives expert. Game uses her voice.
From her photographs, I have assumed that she has breast implants.
With the low amount of body fat she has, her breasts could not be that
firm or large without some silicone support. Check Victoria's Secret
to decide for yourself.
contributed text: (not yet paraphrased)
Former supermodel of the 80's, She was the favorite of designer Gianni
Versace. Then she dissed her image and changed it to grunge when she
began a relationship with rocker Axl Rose. The demise of that
relationship, together with the birth of her second son, and the
supposed impending marriage this summer to publisher Peter Brant (the
father of the child), has turned her career into high gear. Voted
this year by Paris's MATCH Magazine as the 2nd most beautiful model
in the world (Claudia was 1st), that makes her the world's sexiest
mom. Not bad for a model who started her career 10 years ago (age 16,
when she was reported to be having an affair with
John Casablancas, the CEO of ELITE Modeling).
[As you can see, there is some doubt as to her correct age. If someone
can dig this up and set this issue to rest, I would appreciate it.]

Taylor, Krissy
Height: 6'0
Hair: blonde
Agency: IMG Models, NY
Born: '78?
Died: summer 1995 from possibly abusing Psuedoephedrine.
Niki's younger sister. Not a quite a supermodel. Has appeared in YM,
Seventeen, Self, Mademoiselle, Vogue, and Dolly (Aust)
Was on House of Style with sister Niki summer 94.
Krissy was a popular model in Australia, having done numerous
covers for Australian girls' magazines.
http://www.supermodel.com/ used to have her home page.
"She's Young, She's Dead, She's Net"
Krissy Taylor died tragically last month, but her scantily clad image still
lives on the Internet, where her mother, Barbara Taylor, is using photos of
her dead daughter to generate some cold, hard cash. Two months before
Krissy's death, the elder Taylor put together a Web site called "The
Supermodel Home Page," which charges advertisers up to $30,000 a month
(apparently no takers yet). Taylor is promising the arrival of "at least six
more significant supermodels" to the site, but for now, Krissy remains the
only featured mannequin. "Ironically, she was the first model we selected,"
Barbara Taylor's partner Patxi Pastor says seriously. But while the home
page now includes a somber Krissy "memorial," the real attraction for the
Internet's largely young, male Web surfers is the sexy pinup style bikini
shots of the late 17-year old. Pastor claims the site draws more than a
million visitors a week. And despite some criticism, Pastor says she and
Taylor won't tone the shots down. "In this business, pictures like that are
peices of art. They are sensually, not sexually, explicit. This is similar
to people looking at shots of Marilyn Monroe."

Elite model Frederique van der Wal will answer questions about her modeling
career and how she has combined her savvy for business with her artistic
talent to develop outside projects when she visits ABC Online on Tueday March
28 at 7 pm ET.
As a student in Holland majoring in economics and languages, Elite model
Frederique had no idea that she would soon experience an amazing career
turnaround in her life. Although headed for the business world, Frederique
was persuaded to enter the Elite "Look Of The Year" contest. She won first
place and walked away with a two-year contract with Elite Model Management,
and a plane ticket to New York.
Once in New York, Frederique began appearing in top magazines, from Vogue and
Harper's Bazaar to Glamour, Mademoiselle and Cosmopolitan. Over the years,
she has graced the covers of many of them, including Cosmopolitan covers shot
by Francesco Sacvullo.
Frederique has been the face of many campaigns, including Revlon's "Most
Unforgettable Women in the World" shot by Richard Avedon. Her campaigns for
Guess? gave her recognizability across the world. She regularly graces the
pages of Victoria's Secret catalogue.

medium, either. She has appeared on Entertainment Tonight, CNN, Late Night
with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Extra, Oprah Winfrey,
Lifestyles Of The Rich and Famous, E! Entertainment, MTV and VH-1.
Modelling has given Frederique recognition, notoriety and the tremendous
opportunity to combine her savvy for business with her talent to develop
outside projects. She has created and designed her own swimwear line. She
has launched her own fragrance, "Frederique," and will soon follow with a
body moisturizer and shower gel. Her workout video "Frederique Presents
Chris Imbo's Peak 10" is in stores across the country. Currently, she is
working on an underwear line which will premiere in the latter part of 1995.

Common questions and answers not handled in the previous section.
What is a supermodel?
This is a major point of discussion in this group. Some factors
that may be involved are earning power, name recognition, face
recognition, frequency of runway appearances, frequency of magazine
covers, appearances in Sports Illustrated, calenders, TV
appearances, movies.
Supermodel?
This means that the supermodels have the most attributes going for
them instead of just having a really great look, or a really good
attitude. When it comes down to it, beauty is subjective. "What makes
these models we call 'super'models stand out is their overall
excellence. Their good looks, extreme professionalism, their
wonderfully friendly personality, and their ability to give the
photographer exactly what he wants.
Why are all (or most) supermodels tall and thin?
There are variations, but most models are about the same size,
height (~5'9 and above), and weight.
Most of the designs are for very thin women (why is another good
question). Tall women appear thinner than short ones.
Women with small faces are supposed to photograph "better". If
you put a head on a woman who is 5'10" - 6', it will look smaller
than the same beautiful head on a woman who is 5'2" or so.
Designers can sew clothes for the "standard" model. Then they can
easily substitute models if they think a particular dress would
look better with a different model, or if someone is late for a show.
Uniformity lets them "ensemble" well with other models. No one
has to stand on box. The standard height may be on the tall side
to ease posing with men for whom height is also an issue.
Who's the woman in the Meatloaf video?
Dana Patrick. However, the voice belongs to a woman identified
only as "Mrs. Loud".
What's the name of the magazine Alyssa Milano posed nude in?
The complete title is "Bikini".
Volume 1, Issue 1. Completely sold out, no back issues.
(hint. This magazine is SQUARE in shape.)
Who is the girl in the Aerosmith videos?
Alicia Silverstone was in the Aerosmith vidoes "Cryin'" and
"Amazing", and starred in the movie, "The Crush". She was 17.
Who is the girl in the John Cougar Mellancamp video "Wild Night"?
The woman who plays the taxi driver, with the titilating clothing
donning is none other than model Shauna Zadrick.
What is that movie Inferno that features a lot of models?
It's some short-stories with lightly dressed topmodels. Filmed by
fashion model turned photographer Ellen von Unwerth. With among others:
Kate Moss, Tyra Banks, Shana Zadrick, Eva Herzigova, Helena Christensen,
Emma Sjoeberg, Amber Smith. It has appeared on German Television and
other stations in Europe, but not in the US except for in excerpts.
What are better terms for all those models? ie. a taxonomy of model ranking.
(excerpted from pins&needles in Harper's Bazaar by Woody Hochswender)
"Remember the good old days when men were men, and models were
either just plain models or supermodels? Well, there is now a
more elaborate system of model categories to accomodate the glut
of new, old, and veteran talent. Lauren Hutton, Rosie Vela, Patti
Hansen, Beverly Johnson, and other over 40 stars are now called
the Ultramodels. The new Supermodels are Kate, Amber, Nadja,
Shalom, and Emma. The former Supermodels ==Christy, Naomi, Linda
et al.== are now known as Megamodels. Get all that?
The new nomenclature apparently facilitates discussions at
agencies, fashion shoots, and editorial meetings. (At meetings of
some of my *tre`s gentils* male friends, there is only one
catagory that comes up: Hot Young Models.)"
