Before Instagram Models: The Untouchable Supermodels

Title: The Era of the Untouchables: Why the Supermodels of the '80s and '90s Were Unlike Anything Before or After

There was a time when a woman didn't need a million followers to be famous. She only needed to step onto a runway or appear on a Vogue cover to become immortal. That time was the 1980s and 1990s — the golden era of the supermodel.

They were more than beautiful faces. They were forces of nature. Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Helena Christensen, and Kate Moss didn't just model clothes; they embodied style, mystery, and magnetism. They didn’t have to dance on TikTok or share their breakfast smoothies. They were living, breathing fashion editorials with a commanding presence that spoke louder than any algorithm.

These women didn’t blend in. They stood out. Naomi's fierce walk, Cindy's iconic mole, Linda's ever-changing hair, Kate's rebel energy — each brought something utterly unique. They had edge, elegance, and an aura of untouchability. Designers didn’t just dress them; they built collections around them.

Supermodels of this era transcended fashion. They appeared in music videos, graced magazine covers month after month, and held court on late-night talk shows. They were cultural ambassadors of style, glamour, and strength. And they did it all before social media, when mystery still had value.

Today, we live in the age of accessibility, where models share every aspect of their lives online. While there’s beauty in this new transparency, there was something magnetic about the mystique of the originals. They weren’t trying to be relatable — they were aspirational. They existed in a world just out of reach, and that’s what made them unforgettable.

The supermodels of the '80s and '90s were more than icons. They were an era. And even now, decades later, their influence walks beside every new model who dares to step into the spotlight.

How to Break a Water Fast

As always there's quite a bit of conflicting information out there about how to break a fast. One thing everyone agrees on is that the fast needs to broken slowly and gently. You also need several days to go back to eating normally. For example, if you do a 7 day fast, you need about 3 days of refeeding. On a 10 day fast, you'll need 4-5 days and so on. How you break the fast will make or break the whole experience. If you go right back to your old way of eating, you can easily negate all the benefits of your fast. One school of thought insists on breaking the fast with fruit, more specifically watermelon and then lots of veggies and more fruit. Since my goal is to remain in ketosis, I will be taking a different approach. I will be eating protein, fat and some low-carb veggies, bone broth and lots of water. I would also recommend abstaining from alcohol for at least a few days so you're not overburdening your liver. Listen to your body. Don't force the food if yo...

4 Months Later - Fasting - Carnivore - OMAD

I know it's been a while since I've done an update. So here we are at the beginning of September already. Things are progressing really nicely. So much better than I ever imagined. I've slowly transitioned to a mostly Carnivore diet , consisting or meat, eggs and dairy with very little veggies and no fruit. I've continued fasting on a regular basis. Basically having just one meal a day on most days (OMAD) and then still doing regular water fasts as I feel the need. My weight continued to decrease slowly but very steadily. I wasn't expecting this at all. I would have been very happy just maintaining my weight under 70kg and here I am at 62kg. How cool is that? Yeah, I'm sure excited.  Here's my latest before and after pic. Hopefully you guys can see the difference. I can tell you that I feel so amazing! I've had to buy a whole new wardrobe. I know, the horror, eh? I've stopped taking all my supplements. My eczema is a thing of the past. My Has...
