supermodel

Contrary to popular belief, a supermodel is not just any prominent model. There are only five: Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and Claudia Schiffer. These are the models who ruled the fashion industry in the 1990s with outrageous contract demands and failed though financially rewarding attempts at acting and singing; the era of the supermodel is over. Prominent models are known as "powermodels" and include Tyra Banks, Kate Moss, Gemma Ward, Heidi Klum, Gisele Bundchen and the like.

Janice Dickinson claims to be the world's first supermodel but she is actually just a hideous troll.

My favorite supermodel is Christy Turlington. She seemed more down to earth.

pottery barn lesbian

A lesbian (and sometimes a bisexual woman with mass market appeal.

It is often used in a negative way (generally by another gay person)to infer that the person is not "gay enough."

Used by Boy George to describe Rosie O'Donnell when he was obviously hungry for publicity.

negative: Ellen Degeneres is such a pottery barn lesbian. She needs to be gayer on her show.

positive: Rosie O'Donnell is a pottery barn lesbian. She's comfortable enough with her sexuality but it is not the only thing that defines her.

A successful, generally beautiful, prominent, well-paid model. This is not to be confused with supermodel as powermodels are generally thinner, make less money, and have less staying power. Powermodels include Tyson Beckford, Adriana Lima, Liya Kebede, Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum, Gemma Ward, Tyra Banks, Kate Moss, Chritie Brinkley, Twiggy, Iman, Jerry Hall, Rachel Hunter, etc.

Is that girl on the cover of Cosmo a powermodel?
No. She's just a regular model. No one even knows her name.

Tyson Beckford is one of the very few male powermodels.

Anna Wintour

Editor of the American version of Vogue magazine. She is the the skeletal woman without a soul who inspired the book "The Devil Wears Prada." She is the stereotypical evil, controlling bitch boss. Her exact opposite would be the far nicer and far more successful Oprah. She is proof that money and designer duds can't hide the lack of class. Her evil ways are often revealed by her workers. She has been famously pelted with red paint for wearing lots of fur.

Anna Wintour made her staff take down all the holiday decorations that they worked hard to set up.

Did you see the picture of Anna Wintour getting pelted by peta supporters? It was in the middle of the frickin summer.
