One of the things I miss about the Supers it might sound simple but just going 'Naomi' 'Linda' 'Christy' 'Cindy' 'Claudia' and everyone knew who the heck you were talking about that hadn't happened at that height before early-mid 80s, and not even halfway afterwards-today. What a shame, but I can see why there most known.

You also had to be outstandingly beautiful to make it as a model in the 90's, almost no exceptions (though I never really understood Amber Valetta).

That's not the case today!!!! and today, so many models look alike.

Thank you as always, hipswing and OMIFAN9

More than likely, yes their looks gave them something extra but they go the extra mile. The reason I say that is b/c look at girls like Heidi and many VS models even Tyra their great looking too, but there still not Christy,Naomi,Linda. One thing you can see is that they all look different(Especially the Elite Supers-Cindy,Christy,Naomi,Linda & Claudia above), although they have similar builds physically. And you don't see that or the 'Whoa' factor today & it just sucks, Oolie!

Amber and the B group Supers had girls like Kristen McMenamy,Shalom,Nadja,etc and I quite like them, not love like the Elite Supers. There is just a few of them in that group I can say that about.
