“Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.” says the super model. What strikes you the most about this confession? Firstly, you may be like “o! What shit, the world’s most famous model is saying that about her? Then, what do I look like, a pig?”
On second thoughts you may agree that perhaps there is some logic behind this statement. Sure, Cindy Crawford has a great body and a great face but is that the end of it? A lot many girls claim to have this achievement.
What is it in Cindy that others do not have? She has a personality unseen till now. That is the reason why she has always stood out from other professional models. Where others’ achievement seems to stop at their looks, Cindy’s begins there; she has a great mind, a great attitude and shows great professionalism!
Coming back to the original argument, must we not credit her for being outright straightforward? After all, we all know how different these celebrities look without their make up. Cindy is brave enough to be honest.
Having said that, let us move back in time and have a look at how this celebrity was discovered. The lucky lady was accidently discovered while working on a corn farm at the age of 16. Sixteen-year-old Cindy Crawford was earning her pocket money by working on a corn farm, when a photographer from a local newspaper clicked her picture. When it developed, it was a photograph of a girl of exceptional, all-American beauty. Cindy saw herself as a beautiful damsel for the first time and had in her eyes, started sparkling the dreams of being a famous model some day. But dreams are dreams realized Cindy and went back to pursue her studies. She enrolled at Northwestern University to study chemical engineering on an academic scholarship.
But she never forgot the voice of her subconscious. Once she was selected as a Look Of The Year finalist of the Elite Model Management in Chicago, she flew off to New York to make her own destiny. In 1988, she made a controversial decision to become the first modern supermodel to pose for Playboy. This made Cindy a fantasy girl, the dream mate of every male. MTV got really impressed by her and hired Crawford to host the network's fashion program, House of Style. The show became an instant hit and gave full scope to the humor and wit of Cindy Crawford. She continued to work magic on it for the next six years.
She also has a sound business acumen. This is exemplified by her decision to launch a swim suit calendar in her name, she also chose to buy a piece of Planet Hollywood. Not just that, she entered into health business by launching a series of video tapes in collaboration with her fitness expert. Cindy Crawford/Shape Your Body Workout hit the top of charts and has sold more than 2 million copies in the United States alone.
At present, she stays happy with her children, it has been rumoured that she is going around with Val Kilmer. At the professional front, the girl who has graced the covers of more than 600 magazine covers has not given up.
