There's always at least one supermodel in the current rotation whom I can't really see the appeal of (and, often, to an extreme degree).
I think it's an unavoidable irritating side effect of what's, at heart, a good thing about the fashion world: they're always at least trying to keep things fresh and interesting and unexpected.
It's a class thing, too (in the strict sense): they try to keep things efféte and avante-garde -- meaning, "the masses" are looked down upon -- so the "vulgar" attributes of pinup models aren't always represented the way they are by (say) Sports Illustrated or Victoria's Secret models who must have a more basic, widespread sex appeal or they don't serve their business purpose of selling magazines or clothing in mall stores. With the super-high-end models you're in this rarefied environment of extreme wealth and European markets and magazines that advertise luxury goods (real luxury goods like Bulgari watches; not the crass gold-plated crap Trump types deal in).
So you get Delavingne and her ilk. It's not a bad trade-off. At least things are interesting, up there at the extreme high end of the culture market.
Jordan. We would have great discussion on these topics. I know about fashion and high fashion than any white straight man should and she was hooked up with Lagerfeld who I REALLY hate.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Well she's not the worst looking woman I've seen but she's not my cup of tea either. Now Lauren Bacall, there's a looker!!
Lauren BACALL?? Aren't you dating yourself?
Not at all, I'm 38. Doesn't mean hot woman ain't hot just cause they're older than me.
Well she certainly wasn't as hot as Ve4ronica Lake with her one eye. Now that was a hotsie tootsie.
We get it Cal, we get it...
You may have mentioned this once or twice...
On the subject of Cara Delevingne you are, of course, wrong ;-)
Those eyebrows don't help any.

That ONE eyebrow you mean, Dr. G.
