They do this backstage bit where they zoom around all the models and talk to some of them. I remarked to my husband how 'ordinary' (as in normal, not blaaggh) some of them looked, particularly prior to having their makeup applied. Tall girls, with young skin and firm thighs (although even then, not universally). But not goddesses, until of course the makeup is spray painted on, half a kilo of mascara and lip gloss is applied, and then they look totally different.DenaMarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-7664511303523800112010-11-23T20:18:08.117+11:002010-11-23T20:18:08.117+11:00Fabulous!
