Campbell In Soup
NAOMI NO-SHOW: Organizers of this Friday's benefit for the not-for-profit
AIDS service group Houseing Works aresn't feelin too charitable about Naomi
Campbell these days. The bratty supermodel is notably absent from the list
of African-American models hosting the organization's SOul '95 benefit at
Industria Superstudio--an all-star line-up that includes Iman, Veronica Webb,
Beverly Peele, Karen Alexander, and Roshumba. Sources say organizers
purposely scratched Naomi from the list after she snubbed last year's event.
"As a host, all she had to do was show up, and she didn't," one insider
said. "we read in the paper the next morning that she went to another party
instead."

Carangi, Gia
supermodel in the 70's.
Excerpts from _MODEL: The ugly business of beautiful women. by Michael Gross
bisexual drug abuser who had a short but highly visably career.
Died of AIDS in 1986
a Philadelphia teenager whose wild ways and sultry looks made her a
favorite of photographers from Francesco Scavullo to Chris von
Wangenheim, who specialized in pictures that captured the madness
of the disco era.
"The latest topic of conversation in modeling is the resurgence of drugs--
particularly Heroin--among a clique of models who, in macabre homage,
reportably call themselves Gia's Girls, in honor of Gia Carangi, the
bisexual addict who had a brief career in modeling and then died of AIDS."
For more information about her please read the following book:
Stephen Fried's "Thing of Beauty-The Tragedy of Supermodel Gia".

Probably the single most widely recognized supermodel. Cindy was
the spokesperson for Pepsi for a while, has her own exercise video,
and her own show on MTV. She's also done at least three calendars,
and of the profit, half (I believe) goes toward fighting leukemia.
Had a three year $3 million contract with Revlon. Also appeared in
print ads for JH Collectables and Capezio Bags. She appeared in
a series of lingerie posters for Hennes & Mauritz in Europe. The
Norway police tore many of them down because they feared drivers
were being too distracted. She has said she feels too old for
runway modeling, and wishes to cut back to part time modelling.
Cindy is not doing any calendar for 1994. She is said to be busy
doing and promoting her exercise/work-out video. The same company
who made the last 4 calendars has brought out the Cindy Crawford
1994 European Edition Calendar which has various pics taken from
her last four calendars. Also, there is another calendar produced
by an English firm which is of fairly poor quality (its only 12
month while the European Edition is 16 months).
[ Addresses for the two companies, CULTRE SHOCK and DAY DREAM
CALENDARS, are in the addresses section of this FAQ. ]
She was married to actor Richard Gere in Dec '91 at the Little
Church of the West in Las Vegas, by Rev. Wes McPherson. They
using wedding bands twisted from chewing gum wrappers. Cindy
said, during an interview, they plan on having a child soon.
Cindy is frequently rumored to be bisexual, and having an affair
with Christy Turlington. In '91, they were photographed while
kissing behind the Roxy nightclub in New York. The rumors have
intensified since Cindy appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair
shaving k.d. lang, a confirmed lesbian.
Appeared topless in the July 1988 Playboy. Quote: "I don't mind if
someone thinks a picture of me decorates their wall nicely. It's
weird when you think what people might be doing to it. But if just
the way I look can make someone feel good, that's a pretty easy way
for me to bring them some pleasure. I just don't want to hear
about graphics details, you know." US April 1993.
MTV House of Style (5 years on the air)
Top grossing model of 1994 with over 6 million dollars earned.
Has broken off with Richard Gere. Still does runway and print work,
major contracts for Revlon and other companies.
When first starting out Cindy was called "Baby Gia" after now dead Gia
Carangi, the main difference being that Cindy was wholesome and Gia
died from her lifestyle. The resemblence between them in the early
years is uncanny.
