Rating: - a great mix of PHOTOS& quotes from the best models
I recently got this small thick book on ebay to complete my supermodels and their photographers collections and it is a must for fans.
Arthur ELGORT has been working for VOGUEs for as far back as the GIA CARANGI years, and has known all the best MODELS IN THE WORLD. I myself own over 100 Vogues and some of the photographs in this book are from different assignments as i did not recognize all of them, which is even better. The models personal quotes and Q&A are very pertinent and some of them just portray them as determined and ambitious women who know exactly what they are doing and why they are the best at their Art.
Linda's comments are the most interesting actually. you'll see.
features: LINDA, CINDY, EMMA S, CHRISTY, GIA, JANICE D, KATE, CLAUDIA, WEBB, NAOMI, TATJANA, SHALOM, KRISTEN McM, STEPHANIE (only 1p though :( ), KAREN M, etc.
the photographs vary in style and moods, but they are beautiful and capture the girls in natural spontaneous poses as well as sophisticated ones. some in color, some B&W.

Medicine is not an art or a battle between technology and nature - it is a war, war between computers. On our side: the cognitive human brain and increasingly intelligent computers it makes. On the other side: The noncognitive and simple RNA and DNA computers of human genetics and human cells gone bad. So far the latter have lost a ground, but they have done remarkably well and even gained back little territory via fast-action guerilla tactics (e.g. rapid adaption to antibiotics) The (not so surprising) ability of DNA/RNA to evolve countermeasures to today's primitive medical technologies has led many to conclude that cyber-revolution will sink into a stalemate. Not so -RNA/DNA will lose the war, as fast as the genetic codes may evolve, they are old simple systems whose basic level of performance plateaued epochs ago. Worst of all - they do not think. They have never seen the likes of the increasingly smart macro and nanocomputers that will be thrown at them in the next few decades. The technology is moving much faster than its targets, and the Information-processing speed of genetic DNA will soon be billions of times less than that of their attackers. Point is that humans will soon have creatures among them that make Christy Tulington look like Frankenstein's Bride and her wits equal to that of Minnie the Mouse.
