One of the stunning faces of recent fashion, yes. 'Otherworldly' and Ethereal and (forgive us) slightly pedophilliac at the same time. Wait a decade or more to see if we can speak of her in the same career-league as Kate Moss, though.

Christy Turlington is one of the most beautiful souls to ever walk this Earth. One of the original 'Supermodels' of the 1990's (along with Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Stephanie Seymour and Kate Moss) she has graced over 500 magazine covers, numerous music videos, and demonstrated to the world that a career in fashion modeling need not lead to drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, scandal or self-destruction. By all accounts Christy Turlington is a loving mother (to daughter Grace and son Finn), wife (to filmmaker/actor Edward Burns) and advocate of spiritual awareness (born a Catholic she's also become a voice for Yoga) and social betterment (giving time and energy for many social issues beside friend Bono of U2). She's a joy and an inspiration to millions of fans and admirers, and typifies both beauty on the outside and beauty on the inside.
"She is a spiritus mundi, a soul spun of stardust, but it's what's inside that shines. She's a real Christy Turlington."

She's beautiful, I love her gap-toothed Brit schoolbird accent ... and she's very (very!) far from washed up as a model. Pick up an issue of most high-end fashion magazines and Kate Moss is all over them (major ads, major bucks). She's been huge in her career since being one of the "Supermodels" that ruled the roost in the 1990's .. and she's got the image to become one of the "old dames" of pop culture.
"She's a name. Don't matter what the name is, people speak it and media worship it. Kate Moss. Katie. She's a goddess and even when it's the goddess of beauty or fading beauty or the cokewhore every man lusts to do when his girlfriend's not looking ... the worshippers go down, baby. She's Kate-I-did-her-in-a-wet-dream-once Moss. Shut up and go down."
