Remember The ’80s and ’90s?

Elle McPherson was back there. And yet, some things haven’t changed. Kudos to her.

(The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue just ain’t the same anymore, and I don’t know if it’s the Internet that ruined it or that the current crop of “supermodels” just aren’t as “Super” as ’90s staples like Cindy Crawford, although I’m pro-Bundchen and Ambrossio - both of them need a hearty steak dinner every night for a month though)

    Old timers? I’ll go with Kathy Ireland.

    The problem is, they exchanged curvy women with a little more meat on their bones (like the aforementioned Kathy Ireland, as well as McPherson and Ashley Richardson) for the typical skin and bones type with boob jobs.

    Word, Jay. Word.

    All hail Angie Everhart.

    I agree with you Oliver. I also agree with the Kathy Ireland comment. She was smokin’ back in the day.
    But I think you hit the nail on the head. Models are really just too skinny. I remember in my younger days hearing that about ladies like Crawford and McPherson… nowadays, those girls would be considered full size or large compared to the skinny fools that model these days.
    It’s like Stewie Griffin said: “I’m just saying 70’s boobs were different that’s all…”

    Hey, it’s not just Ireland’s great looks. She’s smart–she’s enormously successful in business–and she’s concerned for others.

    And on top of it all–she makes her own beer!

    Kathy Ireland is also a devout Christian and a pro-life Republican.

    For my money, Cindy Crawford was, and continues to be, the gold standard. She looks even better today than she did 10 years ago.

    I agree with all y’all. The ’80’s models were better, more substantive, although I also agree with Oliver as per Bundchen.

    And yet as crazy/bitchy as she is, Christie is still Queen of the Milfs.

    She’s 52.

    52!

    Well, nobody’s perfect. I can’t stand James Woods’ or Gary Oldman’s politics, either, but I’d watch either of them read the phone book.

    So what? Did you read my post? She. Makes. Beer!

    A goddess.

    I can’t believe I have to drop this name here, that no one did it before me… Paulina Porizkova? Anyone? Who’s with me?
