I'm sure Kylie nearly peed herself having beat Kimbo, now she's PMKs favorite. And Kimbo is trying to pretend like it doesn't bother her when we all know she's dying inside. And in typical Kimbo fashion found a way to make it all about her by saying Kylie needs to put in a few more years of work to take the title and she'll "pass her secrets on too her little sis". Doll you forgot PMK trained her just like she trained you and Kylie had the privilege of watching PMK train you so not only does she not need your help she has already dethroned you about a year ago. The only way way you can even get attention anymore is by your old standby trick of going naked. Or by pimping out your 2 year old little kid to the paps.

I agree. Kim is so upset right now.

Funny. I used to own quite a few high-waisted jeans back in the late 70s/early 80s and they cost me no more than $20/30.00. Now those same jeans I covet are about $300/400.00! What in God's name happened?! How did denim suddenly become as expensive as silk????

But yeah, I like Kendall's jeans but what I love *more* is how the girls' collective fame would be killing Kim. Every. Single. Moment. Of. The. Day! You wouldn't believe how much joy this brings me lol.

I don't know if it's because I'm so much older than when I was just a pup in the 90s and so enthralled with that era of Supermodel, but when I think back to Naomi and Christy and Shalom back then they always looked like adult women to me, no matter what they were modeling. That H&M spread looks like kids playing dress-up. And, again, it could be because I'm seeing it through the lens of being 20 years older now. But it just falls so flat.

This. The 90's models had a tonne of chutzpah and their catwalks and editorials were fabulous.

Apparently being a blank canvas is "in" now.

The supermodels of the 90s earned their title. They were fierce and all had personality. Now it's given to anyone semi pretty with a famous name, the blanker they are the better.

The problem nowadays is social media. Companies/designers want to hire models with the biggest social media followings to bring attention to their brand. Someone like Kendall could bring a company millions of new customers while your average girl on the street could not. It's no longer about who has the best "look" or who is the best model, it's all about who is the most popular and who can attract the most $$ for the company. I think we can all agree that Kendall isn't the best model and would be a nobody without her name and connections, even all the other ones(gigi, bella, cara) all have rich families and connections that gave them a career. None of those girls would be famous models if it weren't for the families, but unfortunately that's how the world works.

On topic so I don't get in trouble but as pretty as I think Kendall is, she belongs more on a cover of Seventeen magazine than she does the cover of Vogue. If it weren't for her name there's no way we'd be hearing about her!

If it weren't for Kanye, rather. The fashion industry wanted nothing to do with this family before he came along. PMK's been trying to get her modelling gigs for years and all she can get was prom dresses ads and Pacsun.

It's funny that some people in the fashion industry call them "Insta" girls instead of supermodels or models.

I agree. This new crop of "models" just do nothing for me. I do think Cara D. photographs beautifully sometimes though.
