Vaycay Day 2-3: Favorite



This is the ONLY fashion editorial that's made it into my personal scrapbook (which, for the most part, contains things that are relevant to real life: interior decorating inspirations, etc.)

I loved it in 2002 (US Vogue, shot by Craig McDean), but it's all the more intriguing given that Maggie Rizer is no longer a high fashion model.

Her stepfather back home in upstate N.Y. "managed" the $7 million fortune she amassed in her heyday, gambling the entire thing away on Quick Draw lotto and leaving her $2 million in debt to the I.R.S. Can you imagine? I don't even know how one person can have the time to buy that many lotto tickets.

Her story is like the plot of a movie where Anne Hathaway is (once again) miscast as someone endearing yet hot, mixed with a Bruce Springsteen song.

If you never caught the story when they were shopping it around, read it here.

That is fucking AWFUL. I had no idea. I was wondering why she was such a biatch on Make Me A Supermodel and now it makes a little more sense.

Terrible story about her life, horrible step father!

really cool editorial. not many editorials make it into my scrapbook either, main reason is because i only tend to like one or two pictures instead of the whole thing.

hope you having an awesome vacation!

ps. thank you for the super sweet comments!
