COCO Rocha x The New York Times
Top Supermodel Coco Rocha sets the record straight in a recent New York Times Article. “I don’t do nudes, I don’t do semi-nudes, I don’t do cigarette shots,” says the 21 year old beauty. Demands that would get any plain newcomer instantly axed from the fashion industry, Coco says with little care. Another excerpt from the article is this: “You know what, I’ve stopped caring,” Ms. Rocha said. “If I want a hamburger, I’m going to have one. No 21-year-old should be worrying about whether she fits a sample size.” What we realized is CoCo has made her millions, but what about those models still on the come up? how stern could they stand in an industry of vultures? We here at CO feel that this article is worth a read, and a moment to reflect. Read the full article here.

Alexander McQueen Dead at 40
According to the Daily Mail British fashion Icon and CO favorite Alexander McQueen has committed suicide. This is a sad day in the fashion world. Less than 4 months ago Korean Supermodel Daul Kim took the same way out. What makes this really unfortunate is that McQueen was at his peak, the upper echelon of the fashion world, especially after the recent unveiling of the Mcqueenadillos. Our prayers go out to his family, friends, and fans worldwide.
Quotes:
“McQueen was found at his luxury flat in Green Park, central London. It is believed he hanged himself.”
“A source at McQueen’s office this afternoon confirmed his death, saying: ‘It is a tragic loss. We are not making a comment at this time out of respect for the McQueen family.”
“His death comes just days before the start of London Fashion Week and weeks before he was due to unveil his new collection at Paris Fashion Week on March 9.”

Caption This: Cheetahs Play with Antelope?
The Daily Mail recently reported a strange story accompanied with pictures of a trio of young male cheetahs playing with their “food” on a safari in Kenya’s Masai Mara. The photographer Michel Denis-Huot had this to say “These three brothers have been living together since they left their mother at about 18 months old,’ he said. ‘On the morning we saw them, they seemed not to be hungry, walking quickly but stopping sometimes to play together.At one point, they met a group of impala who ran away. But one youngster was not quick enough and the brothers caught it easily. They knocked it down, but then they lost interest”. The cheetahs eventually let the antelope run free. WOW! How funny is that last image? LOL!
