Datalounge's Favorite Supermodel

Ypir.

I did make the poll for people who had taste.

Keep your low-taste options out of here!

I was a ‘90s teen, so I vote for either the chameleon (Linda) or the classy one (Christy). Naomi is an excellent model, but her anger management issues are a turn off.

I voted for Linda immediately and literally CACKLED at the last 2 options.

What a stupid list.

R5 looks like drag queens in an Almodovar film.

Yep, she looks like Caitlyn Jenner. Rightly left off.

None could waddle a runway like Tess.

No Cindy Crawford?

Yes, no Cindy Crawford. No Cindy Crawford.

Esme Marshall.

She is still striking. And nice.

I've always loved Christy Turlington. She's the "smart" supermodel who actually finished college. I once went to her book signing at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills. I met her and had her sign my book and a Vogue cover she was on. She asked what my name was and where i was from. After she signed it I went up the escalator which was right in front where her signing table was to shop for about an hour. When I came down the escalator again she looked at me and said "Hey Chris". I was surprised she remembered my name. Her classic features were immortalized when her likeness was used for the official mannequins at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Although she does the occasional modeling stint now and then she has spent most of her post modeling days advocating for women's health rights and raising her family with actor Ed Burns.

Your name is basically her name r12, if she were going to remember anyone's it would be yours.

[R13] Whatever the reason, I was still impressed. She had signed a ton of books by then. A lovely person.

I never thought either Janice Dickinson or Cindy Crawford were good looking. Both had a hard look even in youth. Like a diner waitress who'd give blowjobs out back for five dollars.

Seems pretty clear that the favorite is Linda.

Overall, I'm satisfied with my poll choices.

Hilarious the Christie Brinkley votes. That would be 100% frau.

I prefer Jacey Ethalion

I'd start a thread for male supermodel... if I knew a single one.

Margaux Hemingway

I only clicked on this because I was expecting an Ypir thread. I am disappoint.

Me too, Ypir now, Ypir forever

Who is Ypir?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Anyone but Cindy basic bitch Crawford.

Fucking Paulina! You blind fucks!

They ALL look like drag queens in that photo, R6.

Christie Brinkley was gorgeous, but she never seemed very model-like.

Cindy Crawford, not Christie Brinkley, is the ultimate frau supermodel.

That trademark Linda smile®

Linda always seemed to have a bigger fanbase of gay men than the other supermodels.

Ancient crone here, Jean Shrimpton was THE FACE of the sixties until Twiggy came along.

r30, I would argue that Kathy Ireland is the frau 'supermodel'

Love her, hate her it will always be Linda.

r29 she was more of a pin-up type poster girl for horny teen boys.. she WAS gorgeous but not super runway material

Of the models whose 'act' was 'All-American girl next door for straight man ogling and frau relatibility' like Cindy Crawford, Kathy Ireland, Cheryl Tiegs, Brinkley was the best looking and the one who came closest to high-fashion.

It's not a niche I'm very fond of, but she did it well (and BETTER actually than the others) but it's niche and needed to be represented in the poll.

"Fraus" would pick Kate Moss or Naomi Campbell as the ultimate supermodel, R30.

It will always be Ypir for me

She’s timeless

Who the fuck is Ypir?!

Linda , Cindy and Naomi know Christy beat them in runway and especially in print. Look at this random unretouched shot. Christy makes them all look either short, manly or like no neck monsters and she made their thighs look twice as big as hers.

Speaking Kate Moss...I watched Unzipped last night ...skipped right to the show. I can’t believe KM is even 5’7”...she looks much smaller than that

Linda E, might have been a whining pain in the ass but she really too over the runway

R42 Those nostrils though.

She was pretty, not gorgeous but she had that something that set her apart from the other in print and on the runway..

it stopped getting Vogue when their era was over and they put Oprah on the cover...the 90s was a great time for model watching

Is Christy what one would refer to as “spicy white”?

I always enjoyed seeing Kristin McMenamy. She really worked. She had many looks and walked a catwalk better than anyone.

My vote goes to Jerry Hall.

Why do you guys care about this stuff?

Other: Cindy Crawford

Even though she looks like Caitlyn Jenner and she resorted to pimping her family for publicity, she really was the best all-around model from the Supermodel era. She was great in print and on the runway. And even though she could be stilted on-camera, she took advantage of opportunities.

No matter who we believe was the best, it was the greatest model era. Not one of the newbies can come close to the models of the 90s

Young Kate Moss was so zeitgeisty.

[quote] "Young Kate Moss was so zeitgeisty."

Thanks to Calvin Klein, mainly.

r48 If all we posted about was the daily murder of children, gas prices and other miserables shit we have to live with, our heads would implode ....this is fun fluff

Naomi Campbell is still stunning. Her presence was, is and always will be off the charts. It's a pity she's got such a temper.

What am I, chopped liver?

You're not as good as Jean Shrimpton.

Hallo?

R54 she always looked like a thick neck linebacker next to Christy and Linda.

r58 Huh? She absolutely did not. Naomi had a lean dancer's body.

r52 And her Corinne Day photographs in The Face, where Calvin Klein first saw her.

R59 see the photo @ R41, Naomi was a short neck stump next to Christy!

r61 I think you are exaggerating.

[quote]Is Christy what one would refer to as “spicy white”?

I think she qualifies.

Tess is what is known as 'sweaty white'

[quote] "] And her Corinne Day photographs in The Face, where Calvin Klein first saw her."

Absolutely, R60.

Kate Moss was the last supermodel.

Edith Massey.

There is only one Super Model: Carmen Dell’Orefice

She started modeling at age 15 in 1946 as was still working in her 80's in 2012.

R68 She bought herself an upper lip I see.

r66 Gisele in the 2000's is generally thought of a the last true supermodel.

[quote]Why do you guys care about this stuff?

I'll run with anything that takes me back to the 90's.

Today it's supermodels.

"Twenty-seven years on, she remains one of the most recognisable faces of our times, an enigmatic sphinx who has, famously, never complained, never explained. And if the sphinx has a riddle, she has not made the mistake of letting us know what it is."
