Off to Resort... Skip the Packing Peanuts... Calvin's View...

THINGS HAVE CHANGED: Model Cindy Crawford enjoyed being back in front of the lenses, posing for the inaugural cover of Niche Media's newest magazine, Chicago's Michigan Avenue, which premiered last week, but she admits the world of fashion and modeling are a lot different than during her glory days. "It's so focused on celebrities," said Crawford, a DeKalb, Ill., native, who was in Chicago for the magazine's launch party at the James Hotel along with actor Terrence Howard and Destiny's Child's Michelle Williams. Crawford said she's also struck by current models' posture. "It was always about standing up straight," Crawford said. "Now they're hunching over. Richard Avedon would be turning over in his grave."

The Michigan Avenue Magazine launch party was phenomenal from start to finish! The James Hotel was definitely the place to be and be seen! Top Chicago socialites, Hollywood models and stars turned out in force to make this event stand apart from all the rest of those so-called celeb filled parties! Michelle Williams got the crowd jumping first during her performance of her new single ‘We Break The Dawn’. While award winning actor Terrence Howard memorized the ladies on-stage and off with his guitar and smooth vocals. And model Cindy Crawford was no less than perrrfect from head to toe! Even up close and personal she didn’t have one single flaw! Who says you have to age nowadays? XA- you need a AWARD!!
