Cindy Crawford has a new interview in Parade Magazine - you can read the full piece here. She talks about her history as one of the most successful models of all time, her long-standing work with Pepsi, talking about body image with her daughter, and how the modeling game has changed for younger generations. I thought this was the most interesting quote from the piece: “I just saw the Covergirl commercial with Taylor Swift and I thought, ‘Wow, it is so hard for models to get a job these days.’ You have to sing and act, too. There doesn’t seem to be as much work specifically just for models.” That sounds strange to me because although there is a dearth of American fashion magazine COVERS for models, models are still getting a lot of work all over. That being said, the Era of the Supermodel is over, and there will never be a group like Cindy, Linda, Christy, Naomi, Claudia? who am I missing? Anyway, here are some excerpts from the interview:
Teaming up with Pepsi.
“I did my first commercial with Pepsi almost 20 years ago, and as my life changed, I’ve continued working with them, but in different ways. When I was in my 30s, we moved to Diet Pepsi, and then they recognized the health and fitness aspect of what I’m about now, so they came to me with Propel Zero.”
Getting the whole family in on the action.
“This is the first time I’ve worked with my husband and my kids together. We happened to shoot on a Sunday, so it didn’t really even feel like work. Also, I was wearing exercise clothes, so it was showing me more as a busy, working mom. But we had fun and it was good for my kids, too. Originally, I didn’t want to use my kids in the commercial because I don’t ever want to make them feel like they have to work because they might be in a bad mood that day or they might want to have a play date. I don’t ever want to say, ‘Well sorry, you’re booked.’ But the night before the commercial, they heard my husband and I talking and they heard that we were having ‘fake’ kids. They were like, ‘You can’t have fake kids! You have to have us!’ So at the last minute, they ended up doing it. They got to see that my job, even though it’s fun and I like it, is also work. Plus, it’s fun for them to see themselves on TV!”
How the former supermodel makes sure her kids grow up with a healthy body image.
“I think the way kids learn most is not by what you say, but by what you do. They see me making healthy choices, and they see my husband and I exercising. Being a woman and having a daughter, I don’t want her to feel like in order to be attractive or healthy or thin, that you have to deprive yourself all of the time. So if we go out for ice cream, I don’t’ say, ‘Oh, I can’t have that!” I’ll order one. I don’t make a big deal out of it. She sees how I eat and I always say that I try to be 80% good, 80% of the time because that’s achievable!”
How she balances her busy career with motherhood.
“It’s a constant balancing act for sure. Obviously, your family life is the priority, but there’s still other stuff you have to get done in a day. I think the way I make it work is by taking care of myself and that includes fitness and eating right and all those things, but also by being very organized and punctual. I’m realistic about what I can achieve because I can’t stand that feeling of constantly rushing and being late. I feel like I’ve finally found a good balance and even have a little time left over for myself.”
Do her kids know their mom is an icon?
“I don’t think so. By the time I had my kids, I wasn’t on the cover of Vogue every month anymore, so it wasn’t quite as in their faces. I think sometimes they’re still a little bit surprised or tickled when I get recognized or people say certain things. But I did get some playground credibility after doing Wizards of Waverly Place! All of the sudden their friends knew who I was.”
She’s not afraid of getting older.
“I think what really shows on your face –besides good hair color — is if you’re happy in your life. If you’re doing work that you enjoy and that is rewarding, then as my mom always said, ‘You’d rather have smile lines than frown lines.’ I don’t look the same as I did 20 years ago, nor should I. Sometimes I get that little pang, like ‘Oh, bummer, I wish I did.’ But at the same time, I see my children and I see them growing up and I look at my husband and the marriage that we’ve worked on and have together, and if all that is good and working, it’s a lot easier to be kind to your little fine lines or where gravity’s gotten the better of you.”
The modeling industry has changed since Cindy’s reign.
“I do feel like an outsider now, but I just saw the CoverGirl commercial with Taylor Swift and I thought, ‘Wow, it is so hard for models to get a job these days.’ You have to sing and act, too. There doesn’t seem to be as much work specifically just for models. And I also think when I was modeling, size 6 was a normal size and now it’s like 2 or 0.”
On her Most Beautiful title by People Magazine in 1993 — a title recently given to Jennifer Lopez.
“It’s very flattering, but I’m a woman before anything else and I have my insecure days. It’s nice, but you also know that next year it will be given to someone else. You kind of take it with a grain of salt.”
On what makes someone truly beautiful.
“I think if people are passionate about something, it could be real estate or biochemistry, and that spark gets turned on in them, everyone’s beautiful in that zone.”

I think Cindy is now and was always one of the most well-adjusted supermodels. She just seems like a nice, involved mom and like she?s got a perspective on her industry and how she wants to raise her kids. I would love to hear what she has to say about less wholesome subject, though. I want to hear some George Clooney stories. I want to know what she thinks about her drag queen look-alike, Elisabetta Canalis. I want to know what goes on when Cindy visits Lake Como.
By the way, I wrote this whole thing before I looked up these photos (from just a few weeks ago). Um? what the hell is Cindy doing to her face?!? Oh, Cindy. I take back everything nice I just said. STOP WITH THE BOTOX AND FILLERS.

I know, I know enough with the stupid puppy jokes, but to be fair technically Cindy Crawford and Joanna Krupa really are showing off their puppies this time. Sadly not the good kind that we were all hoping for, but I’m a dog owner and I’m a sucker for hot chicks with dogs so tough

Taking her good looks across the globe, Cindy Crawford is featured in the April 2010 issue of Harper?s Bazaar Russia.
The former ?House of Style? hostess shows her sexiness in an array of poses, sporting different white-themed ensembles.
And while many models obsess over diet and exercise, Cindy says she stays in shape by maintaining a positive outlook on life.
"It's not that I work out every day, I'm not ever on a diet, I just eat healthy. Just being happy and doing work that you love, self-confidence is really what's attractive in people, and I think that comes out. If you're happy and you're doing work that you enjoy, for me it's about being a mother, that comes out in how I look.?

These pictures of Cindy Crawford from Harper’s Bazaar Russia may be recycled from an old shoot, but I can’t be sure, I don’t keep up to date with the latest happenings in Harper’s Bazaar Russia because I didn’t even know there was a Harper’s Bazaar Russia. Anyhow, old or new I’m

Bringing an end to Cindy Crawford’s blackmail nightmare, Edis Kayalar was sentenced to two years behind bars by a German court.
Kayalar was convicted of attempting to extort money from Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber and threatened to release a photo of their then 7-year-old daughter in a compromising situation.
According to a report, the photograph was taken during a ‘cops and robbers game’ and portrayed the youngster as being tied to a chair with a gag in her mouth.
Last summer, Crawford and Gerber received threats to release the photo unless they paid Kayalar oodles of money. Eventually he was deported to Germany where he made another demand for cash.

About three years ago, supermodel Cindy Crawford was quoted in Gala Magazine as admitting to relying on Botox, collagen, and vitamin injections to maintain her gorgeous face. She said “I’m not going to lie to myself: past a certain age, creams work on the texture of your skin but, in order to restore elasticity, all I can really count on is vitamin injections, Botox and collagen.” The lovely 43 year-old mother of two is again admitting that she has the help of a dermatologist. Cindy tells GQ Magazine that her radiant skin is due to Botox, but that she doesn’t think she’s had collagen lately. She sounds pretty honest to me:
Cindy gets real in an upcoming interview for GQ. “There’s a doctor… in London who I’ve gone to for Botox,” Cindy, 43, admits. “I did a whole skin-care line with him. But I haven’t done collagen, I don’t think.” And Cindy says a little nip or tuck is only natural for someone of her stature. “Because people have such expectations of what they are going to find when they see me, that brings added pressure to fight the aging process,” she says. “But don’t get me wrong. I think I’m holding together pretty good!”
[From Star Magazine, print edition, December 14, 2009]
Cindy doesn’t have that waxy look that so many women get when they’re over-botoxed. While I would guess that she’s had something done to look that great, especially because she has no lines on her forehead or between her eyes, it wouldn’t immediately occur to me because she doesn’t look cat-like or overplumped. She’s radiant, and she’s a great advertisement for injectibles. It doesn’t hurt that she was gorgeous to start with. I’m getting around the age when I’m considering Botox, and am leaning toward trying it out. My face would probably look all jacked up though, which is why I haven’t done it yet. You can’t just go to any dermatologist and have to find a great one.
Cindy Crawford is shown at the premiere of Up In The Air with her husband Rande Gerber on 11/30/09.

Doing her best to get the perfect tan, Cindy Crawford was spotted basking in the sunshine outside of George Clooney’s pad in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on Sunday (November 29).
Joined by her lovely daughters, the timeless beauty sprawled out on a lounge chair perched on the terrace - situating herself about twenty feet away from Clooney’s girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis.
Meanwhile, Miss Crawford recently chatted with London press about maintaining her looks at age 43 - saying that she has never undergone plastic surgery, but has previously received Botox injections.
“There’s a doctor here in London who I’ve gone to for Botox. I did a whole skincare line with him. But I haven’t done Botox for ten years. And I didn’t do collagen, I don’t think,” she tells.
Cindy continued, “Because people have such expectations of what they are going to find when they see me, that brings added pressure to fight the aging process I mean, don’t get me wrong, I think I’m holding together pretty good.”

Ending a short time on the lam, Cindy Crawford’s blackmailer has turned himself in.
Former male model Edis “Eddie” Kayalar attempted to blackmail the supermodel for $100,000 after getting a private photograph containing Crawford and husband Rande Gerber’s then-7-year-old daughter tied to a chair in revealing clothing, taken by her nanny during a game of cops and robbers.
Kayalar tried to use the photo so the celebrity couple would pay, or else he threatened to release it to the media.
Kalayar was charged last week with a count of extortion despite already having been deported to Germany, where he allegedly went on to blackmail the couple.
On Monday, he went to Stuttgart police station and surrendered himself.
“Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford intend to pursue any and all available legal action against anyone who aids the perpetrator in the distribution or sale of the photograph of their daughter,” a statement from the couple’s representative said.
Crawford, 43, and Gerber, 47, have been married since 1998. Besides their daughter, who is now 8, they also have a son, 10.
