Kind of makes me miss Christie Brinkley…
Yuck. What is up with #8’s sunglasses? #10 is pretty, but she needs to put on about 20 lbs.
Nope. Sandwiches and milkshakes all around.
“Models” are not supposed to be “Hot” anymore…and I don’t think “Fashion” has ever been about “Looking good” either. Models are supposed to be about a “Look”. Some years that’s washed out heroin addict, the next that look might be homeless person. It’s typically not “generally good looking” 
Of course I’ve never understood “Fashion” so I’m probably missing something, but for the most part models have not been the typical “Hot” model for many years…IMO.
I do find this whole “Shift” fascinating. Seems you can look back many years and for the most part “Good looking” was “Good looking”. Doesn’t seem to be the case in the last 15 years or so though.

It’s a niche. My guess is that arty, urban gay men drive this enterprise … Fashion models are rarely “hot” by any male heterosexual standard, whether you ask an American or any guy from anywhere in the world. Like modern art, I think they are just meant to puzzle people, not excite us or quicken our pulse … But the buxom bimbo, a Western standard for 100s of years, still rules ads & TV shows, so I wouldn’t worry about it.
This is sad, IMO. These girls all need milkshakes and sandwiches, for sure.
Hot? No. Would I do them? In a heartbeat.
Brides of Skeletor, all of them.
More like Grand-daughters of Skeletor. Some of them don’t look a day over 16. But maybe that’s just because they only weigh 65 lbs.
Au contaire, Christie Brinkley was hot. Heidi Klum, Claudia Schiffer, Kathy Ireland, Cindy Crawford etal?
runway models and print models are a different beast nowadays…
Hey, Christie Brinkley was my favorite when I was a teen in the mid-late 1980s…and she is STILL HOT, imho…
These new models…? Not so much.
Au contaire, Christie Brinkley was hot. Heidi Klum, Claudia Schiffer, Kathy Ireland, Cindy Crawford etal?
But I don’t think any of them were runway models (were they?)
You need to compare them to these:
Christie Brinkley is ~55, Heidi Klum is ~36, Cindy Crawford ~43, Kathy Ireland ~46.
Figure your average model starts out about 20 that would mean that it’s been over 15 years since anyone of these women “Started” modeling and I’d guess not one of them has done “runway stuff” in the last 15, with possible the exception of Heidi.
Like I said modeling has not been about “Good looks” for the last 15 years or so. Models are now picked because their “Look” matches the “Look” of the current fashion.

I guess there is a sub-category of super-model called runway model I am not considering.
I saw Kthy Ireland in Vegas last year. She has a furniture company now. She was so pretty she made me blush.
basically the women serve as coat hangers. on the runways it’s not about the model, it’s about the clothes.
all morning i’ve been reviewing the runways, and frankly, i don’t even look at the models, i look at the garments. that is the point.
men who want to get their rocks off on women shouldn’t review runways, unless fabrics or entire collections of clothing is their ticket.
most of the time the models are exhausted, starved nearly to death and have a hangover that would warrant putting them in the hospital. i’m used to that because i’m a runway zombie.
sometimes a designer will put a “curvy” woman or 2 in the show. it always makes press because it is the exception rather than the rule. (and by curvy, take that with a grain of salt, i’m talking about a size B cup and a weight of about 115-120 pounds. fashion curvy is very different than real life curvy)
my complaint this year is not the models, rather it’s all of the blown out black, geometric shapes, the overuse of leather & gold, not to mention disproportioned shoulders. what the fuck. it’s so disenchanting. don’t even get me started on high waisted pleated pants that fall mid-calf. GOD!
Actually I think they all spent time as runway models. I did a quick search and ran into an modeling agency that had this as career path Print Model > Runway Model > Supermodel.
My point is that over the last 15 years there seems to have been a “Split” between “runway” and “Hot”.
Runway models seem to be pretty much “Yearly turn overs”, they match the fashion one year and then disappear. The “Print” and “Supermodels” don’t do much runway stuff anymore…but they’re usually still “hot”.
I’m just talking out my ass as usual because I know NOTHING about fashion…just that most of women I see striving to be “Runway” or even “Models” aren’t all that good looking, IMO.

Matt you are spending way too much research time on this topic. 
I’ve got to get my stimulus package somehow!
