\nIt’s hard to grok, if you weren’t there, the ’90s supermodel era, when battalions of supermodels – impossibly gorgeous, otherworldly, like alien freaks – stomped across the land – on every magazine cover, on billboards, in every commercial, music video, everywhere – like Robert Crumb’s towering monster-women burst out of their frames and set loose upon the populace. It’s hard to get across what it was like when these Amazons – whom everyone knew by name, whom everyone knew everything about – were everywhere<\/i>. My favorite was Linda (no last name necessary, at least not in MY world: they all were referred to by their first names). Linda said, famously, “I don’t get out of bed for less than $10,000.” <\/p>\n

To this day, I still perk up when one of these women in the original superstar group does something, says something, shows up somewhere. I follow all of them on Instagram. They post pictures of their ’90s photo shoots, and they all tag each other, and I want to faint from awe. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
