Supermodels!

Since I can remember I've been enamored with supermodels! I knew how to pronounce Laetitia Casta's name before Laetitia Casta did, back in the mid-90's when I was...uh, of the sprightly age of like 12. I know, it's a little freaky; OK, a lot freaky, but I was destined for a career related to fashion.

My adoration for the glamorous life, trials, tribulations, rituals, successes, and downfalls of models has not faded. However, I do have to say, no group of Botticellis will ever compare to the "rat pack" (if you will): Naomi, Linda, Cindy, and Niki. Heidi, you're amazing and Kate, you too, but let's be honest--maybe it was the way high-waisted, tapered jeans hung on the hips or full eyebrows framed the face...

So let's honor the past, appreciate the present, and ogle a little bit over the beauties in this world with a few photos from the Chive, a great resource for wasting time and drowning sorrows in the ever-so-addictive world of gossip. The Website is kind of like smoking; if you haven't started, that's a good thing. 

And...because I love you all so much, I went a step further and listed a recipe below for Orange Mocha Frappuccinos! If you're not laughing, go rent Zoolander.
