In days when cougars run rampant, there may not be a hotter kitty than Helena Christensen. To prove her point, Helena recently told TMZ paparazzi that she looks better half naked now than she did 17 years ago in Chris Issac's iconic "Wicked Games" video.

What do you think? Is Helena more smokin' rolling around the beach in her skivvies at 22 or strutting the streets of NYC at 39?

Claudia Schiffer resurfaces out of nowhere looking as fabulous as ever! We are now fully convinced that no one works it like the supermodels of the 90's.

According to NY Mag, the superest supermodel Gisele Bundchen will be putting her bling up for sale at the infamous Christie's on October 15.

Reports state that some of the gems come from the ex-factor. That's right, she's giving away some of the loot that Leo gave her including a colored diamond ring worth about $20,000 and a diamond pendant necklace worth a whopping $150,000. Alongside these precious gifts, Gisele will also be auctioning two giant diamonds that, together, will reportedly go for as much as $4 million.

And in her true giving spirit, Gisele will be donating all proceeds to a nonprofit that aids African diamond mining countries. Touché Leo, touché.

Sure, the Victoria Secret fashion show has all of those supermodels, but it's sort of sanitized sexiness. Plus you know that everything in the show will eventually turn up a mall near you, piled on a table next to a pyramid of "Pink-scented" lotion.

If you want creativity and adventure in your underwear, you have to check out the new Triumph Inspiration Awards. An international design competition for students, this year the theme was Female Fascination. Designers from 31 countries participated and the judges included supermodel Helena Christensen, Dutch designers Viktor & Rolf, and noted sexy photographer Ellen von Unwerth.

Kate Moss. We <3 this old broad. First of all she's well into her 30's but totally parties like a rockstar... err, a supermodel. And her fashion sense is off the charts. We can admit we will probably never be as cool as her.

Here she is at the Glastonbury Festival in Someset England, a three day extravaganza that is a must see if you ever cross the pond.

Anywho, Kate is walking to go see the Kills play on stage in her cool khaki coat, Siwy jeans, and Hunter wellies. *sigh* We only wish we could look so good in our wellies.

This is a model from the Cia Maritima runway show at Sao Paulo Fashion Week. Next to this nearly anorexic figure, we suppose anyone would look fat.

Because while the fashion industry claims to have realized the error of its ways -- denouncing ultra-skinny models, and learning to love the "real women" of the world -- it turns out those revelations must have been a passing fancy. Karolina Kurkova, a Victoria's Secret model, appeared in the same show, and response has been scathing -- just because of a little cellulite.

Over the last decade that we've been wearing makeup (yeah we had one of those dad's that forbid it until we were 16... laaaaame), we have probably tested every single mascara available at our local drugstore – no kidding. We had a great time testing over the years, particularly during a brief period of CVS employment that was strictly for the cosmetic discount. It was basically a crazed 2 month makeup rampage... ahhh the memories.

So after all of this time, we are pleased to share our findings with you.

Oh those lanky, leggy girls who can wear just about anything. Yes, that means the lucky few like Whitney Port, Blake Lively, Paris Hilton, and the fierce (and seriously scary) Naomi Campbell.

We dedicate the last "Suit up" installment to those long ladies that we secretly despise for their limby... uh... ness.

We all love the sunshine, warmth, and good times that the summer brings. We don't love the sweaty, oily, frizzy hair. But fear not friends, it doesn't have to be that way! There are a few pieces of advice that will get you through the summer sans frizzes.

Back in February, we told you that super-hot Naomi Campbell might have an infectious disease, now it seems that she's trying to spread it to one of London's finest. Allegedly, the 37 year-old supermodel got into it with a cop at Heathrow Airport and decided to vent her frustrations by hocking a loogey on the officer. We can't find any details about where the spit landed, but knowing Naomi's anger issues, we image that it splattered in the cop's face.

Granted, it's not exactly sandal weather right now. But spring is right around the corner -- so it's not too early to keep your eyes out for some warm weather footwear. And as long as you're at it, why not do a little something for the planet?

It seems that what supermodel Gisele Bundchen was thinking. She's not just wearing a new sandal designed to raise awareness about water conservation -- that's all she's wearing. The new Ipanema sandal (which Bundchen designed) was created to support a campaign called Y Ikatu Xingu, which is working to protect the Xingu watershed in the Amazon basin. And what's even more exciting, is that Gisele is featured on the website -- wearing sandals, some water, and her birthday suit.

After all, nothing gets people more pumped up about saving the planet than naked celebrities.

This week, I was cruising the Internet as I usually do and found myself reading an article on Forbes. For two reasons, the article fascinated me. One, the article is titled "How to be a Supermodel." Apparently, there is a formula for being a Supermodel. Two, and even more curious is that not only did this article about modeling appear on Forbes, but I had to wonder, "Really? Will someone read this, print it out, and use this as a manual?"

Obviously, we know the answer to that last question. Forbes didn't publish the article because they honestly believe some young girl will come across it and get straight to work on becoming a Supermodel. It's really just a subtly snarky statement about Supermodels, and I have to admit, I love it.

The article and the ten "steps" got me to thinking, and so instead of just giving you the lowdown on how to be a supermodel, your very own Styledash Sarah J. Gim has decided to take Forbes' little nuggets of advice intended for 14-year-old girls who might be "discovered" grinding into a Big Mac at a McDonald's in eastern Europe and turn them into some real advice for real people.

1. Forbes says: "Stop eating. Grow." Sarah says: Being 5'9" and weighing 110 lbs is unnatural. Instead, "dress to stretch." Wear all black in shapes that flatter your figure, and don't ever forget the magic of a 4" stiletto heel in the same color as your hemline, which should be, of course, black.

What better way to start the Hump Day than with a full-spread post about Brazilian supermodels?

You can thank me later, but let's not miss the real point. Forbes magazine recently ranked the top-earning models in the world and AOL Latin points out that three of the Top Five were Brazilian women. It's hardly surprising, coming from a country that turns out exotic, toned, golden-skinned, vibrant and curvaceous women. Who are they who made the Top Five? Gisele Bündchen, who made "$33 million this year. According to Forbes, her fortune is close to $200 million," Adriana Lima, the "fourth highest paid model in the world, with an estimated income of $6 million," and Alessandra Ambrosio, "a Victoria's Secret model. (Remember that lingerie made entirely with candy?) She follows Lima in the Forbes' list, ranking fifth and earning $6 million last year."

But they're not all. There are quite a few Brazilian models samba-ing down the runways. Aol

• Isabeli Fontana
• Raica Oliveira
• Jeisa Chiminazzo
• Ana Claudia Michels
• Ana Beatrix Barros
• Fernanda Tavares
• Fernanda Motta
• Ana Paula Araujo
• Aline Nakashima

Yes, yes, I know, it is big news, right? When a supermodel gains some weight it's big news?

According to Brazilian gossip writer Anderson Antunes of Glamurama, Gisele Bundchen, now in her global model goddess-ness known simply as Gisele, gained 14 pounds in order to participate in Milan Fashion Week, which now has strict guidelines regarding models' weights and BMIs. If you recall, back in September, there was much ado about the nothingness of model's figures in Spain, which banned underweight models from the runways. Milan followed suit with a similar restriction, saying that it was trying to discourage eating disorders.

Are we surprised that Gisele packed on 14 pounds? It sounds like a lot, but not unusual for someone who claims to nosh on red meat and McDonald's burgers.

I can't believe that we haven't blogged about this already here on Styledash. It's not that we think the dating/sex lives of supermodels are all that blog-worthy, but I am having a very hard time believing Elle MacPherson when she says that she has "been single and celibate for two years." Elle MacPherson hasn't been able to land a date for two years?!?! Yeah, right.

According to British Esquire magazine, the 43-year-old beauty claims she "just [doesn't] get men hitting on me, but I'm a hopeless flirt. I'll go up to a guy and say, 'I think you are so beautiful'. But it doesn't work." Of course, Elle does go on to say that she thinks men are intimdated by her looks.

You think? Boo hoo, Elle. We feel really bad for you.
