Stop and think about it for a second. Cover girl and ubiquitous supermodel Cindy Crawford’s known basically for one thing in her life- the mole on her upper lip. That and having been married to actor Richard Gere who was at the height of notoriety when all the tabloid stories about moles of another variety and hairy man-ass first began circulating. In our sweet dreams, lovely Cindy’s au natural, tanning her bottom, and we’re a pesky little varmint with a round face and sharp, pointed teeth, sniffing eagerly for last night’s supper. Hmmmm. Refried beans. Hear Cindy squeal. Such fun. No dumb chick, Cindy worked her teenage summers pollinating, of all things, corn so the attraction to Gere would make sense in that context. Cindy also carried a 4.0 academic average in high school and won a scholarship to study chemical engineering at Northwestern University. But, doing what most pretty women do with a sense of leisure and knowledge that there’s a generous rich man right around the corner, Cindy dropped out of school to model. After working for the fabled Victor Skrebneski, a photographer in Chicago who was to polka contests what Ansel Adams was to the National Park Service, Cindy moved to Manhattan in 1986. A darling of the Jet Set, she later appeared in a couple of critically panned movies which lost enough money to buy a fleet of jets. In 1988 Cindy, the first supermodel ever to do so, posed nude for Playboy in a shoot by photographer Herb Ritts, Ritts being to celebrities what Skrebneski’s to accordionists. A 1997 Shape magazine survey of 4,000 picked Cindy as the second (after Demi Moore) most beautiful woman in the world. The same survey that picked Alfred E. Newman as the most eligible bachelor. Now at the age of 42, Cindy features the same eyebrow arch and stupefied look the day she met her now-ex, Mr. Gere. Either that, or the pesky little varmint found those beans. Our guess is we could have those eyeballs doing the Wet Panties Polka after we got some salacious tongue on those meticulous, supermodel toes. Prediction? Cindy would be on Cloud “9″.
