CNN has a roundup of aging supermodels:
On August 25th, Claudia Schiffer — the youngest of the crop of so-called “original supermodels” who made their mark on fashion in the late 1980s and early 1990s — will turn the big 4-0. To celebrate, InStyle took a look back at the top six, and offers updates as to where they are now.

Little makes an American Senator happier than a new special interest to protect and thereby acquire donations from.
On Aug. 5, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) introduced S.3728: the Innovative Design Protection and Piracy Prevention Act. He’s got 10 cosponsors—including three Republicans—and a big idea: to extend copyright protections to the fashion industry, where none currently exist. That’s right: none. I—well, not I, but someone who can sew—can copy Vera Wang’s (extremely expensive) dress and sell it to you right now (for much less), and Wang can’t do a thing about it.
