I have to wonder at this campaign of "the original".

Certainly, Cindy Crawford was not remotely the original famous fashion model. Wouldn't that have to go to somebody like Jerry Hall or Cheryl Tiegs? Maybe Twiggy? I don't know, late '60s early '70s is a bit early for me in fashion models. When I started noticing them was Joan Severance and Andie MacDowell in the late '70s early '80s.

Cindy wasn't even the first of what would be the supermodels. Linda, Christy, Naomi, weren't they a year or so ahead of Cindy? In those days, I remember Cindy being rather a hanger on, instead of a member of the core group. That came later. I always thought of Cindy's place as after the Trinity, and before Claudia Schiffer. And if you're talking the Fab five that would be Linda, Christy, Naomi, Cindy, Tatjana.

So where is this "The original" thing coming from?

They can't say it's because Cindy did more nudity. She did more than Linda, much less and not nearly as good as Naomi, about the same as Christy and Tatjana. The other girls stayed more with high fashion while Cindy marketed to MTV.

Obviously, Cindy was my overwhelming favorite, but that's personal preference, and I never considered her the original fashion model or supermodel. Mostly, I think I always preferred Cindy because she seemed to be happy to be there. Cindy smiled a lot in her pictures. Something that her daughter Kaia seems adverse to. She always looks sulky and snotty. I don't need that. Smile, or at least have a happy expressive demeanor.

another magazine recolor edit

left side is the 90's mag scan priginal

right side is my adjustment

None of my work is done with AI or color tools like Topaz. Everything is done by hand with adjustment leyers

If you find my colors off, please let me know, I'm partially red/green colorblind and I even find different monitor profiles can make a difference in final appearance.
