THIS IS THE ARTICLE FROM THE ABOVE MAGAZINE COVER.
FINALLY, SORRY IT HAS TAKEN SO LONG! =)

TATLER APRIL 2005

Babe Watch
Wish they all could be California girls like supermodel Carolyn Murphy. She tells catwalk tales and surfing stories to Olivia Falcon.

How did you start modeling?
I was 17 years old and my mother sent me to charm school, which is like finishing school. They had contacts with modeling agencies all over the world and when I finished I got signed up. I know it sounds a bit cliché but I really was an ugly duckling back then. I had this bad curly bob, glasses and braces. As soon as I was signed up, I ditched the glasses and braces.

How does it feel to walk past a billboard of yourself?
Shocking! I’m almost in disbelief. I feel like two different people and I’m sure that, psychologically, it’s not very healthy.

What was your most memorable photoshoot?
One of my favourites was a shoot I did for Estee Lauder two summers ago in the South of France with Elizabeth[Hurley] and Liya[Kebede]. We were staying near Cannes and had our own boat take us to work. We hung around in sarongs all day.

Who cuts your hair?
Orlando Pita, when I see him on shoots. He’s absolutely amazing.

Did you know he charges 550 pounds-probably the world’s most expensive haircut?
No. I guess I better bring my chequebook next time.

Where is home?
Santa Monica, California

What makes you laugh?
A good dirty joke, my daughter Dylan’s laugh and silly things like my dog trotting through the house with a bone in his mouth.

What makes you cry?
Hormones and sleep deprivation.

What’s the first thing you do in the morning?
I wake up to the alarm clock at 6:30am and lie there and stare at the ceiling. I take 20 mintues to myself and then I was Dylan. She’s a smiling little Mini-Me.

Who do you admire?
People who express themselves freely. I grew up in a military family, so there were a lot of rules.

What was the strictest rule in your household?
Two-minute showers to save hot water.

Your boyfriend, singer Brandon Boyd, is a keen surfer. Where’s the best place to ride the waves?
Tavarua, a private Fijian island that sleeps only 15 to 20 guests.

Which hotel has the best concierge?
I’m in love with the Lowell in New York. They organize everything, from rubber ducks in the bathroom and Gummi Bears for my daughter to clearing all the alcohol out of the minibar and restocking it with rice milk and oats for me.

What book are you reading at the moment?
Crooked Cucumber: the Life and Zen Teaching of Shunryu Suzuki by David Chadwick. Before that I read The Red Tent by Anita Diamant, which destroyed me—I haven’t been about to find anything like it since then.

You starred in the Barry Levinson movie Liberty Heights and were compared to Grace Kelly. If you could star with any of her leading men, who would you choose?
I love James Stewart—there was something very humorous about him.

What are your wardrobe staples?
My vintage corduroy jeans, in tan and dark blue. I think they’re a lot more interesting than regular jeans. I’ve been so anti-jeans lately. I’ll scream if I see another girl wearing them with high heels and a tank top.

Tell us something suprising about you.
I’m a little obsessive-compulsive about keeping my house clean. I have to do it myself as I really like to be in control. I’m the woman who cleans her hotel room before checking out.

You’re the face of Estee Lauder. Which of their products have you cherrypicked for your dressing table?
Beautiful and Beyond Paradise are my signature scents, and I use Idealist Skin Refinisher all the time.

What beauty secrets should every woman know?
Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair

Is there anything you’d like to change about yourself?
I’d like to be more disciplined about exercise and not drink coffee.

What’s the cattiest experience you’ve had on the catwalk?
I won’t mention any names but it was with a British model. She got incredibly upset backstage at a show when she saw my rack of clothes was nearer to the stage than hers—and that I had five outfits and she only had four. She started crying at the rehearsal when she found out I was going to be closing the show in the finale dress. The designers relented and let her wear it. I was fine about it. For me it’s just a pay cheque.

What sets a supermodel apart from a model?
I think supermodels play the game a little bit more than models. They have a greater sense of style and they get into jobs a bit more. At some point in a supermodel’s life she will be living her job 24/7.

What can you simply not tolerate?
Mess, disorganization, and wishy-washy people.


What’s the perfect age?
I’m really enjoying my 30s.

How do you mend a broken heart?
Wallow in what I call ‘alone time’, do lots of crying and let yourself go with your emotions.

Who makes the best underwear?
Cosabella. I like their boy shorts with lacy edges. They’re great under jeans as they don’t give you a line. Why wear thongs that make you suffer?

Favourite holiday destination?
Kauai, Hawaii

Male models: stupid or sexy?
After having a brief run-in with one many years ago, I’d have to say both.

Where did you eat your most delicious meal?
At Nobu in London.

What would you sing at karaoke?
Anything by Madonna.

What is the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever been asked to wear?
When I first started modeling I worked in Japan, where I once had to wear a giant teddy bear head and teddy bear-print pajamas.

Do you have a party trick?
My catwalk.

Who gives the best parties?
The fashion industry. They’re chic but nutty. The Versaces throw great parties—really star-studded. The food is decadent and you get to wear a dress from the show. In comparison, the movie people in LA are very uptight.

What’s your favourite why to get around?
Walking or riding a bicycle. I’ve got to get that European itch out of me.
 
Thanks for the interview of Tatler! It's much appreciated and it's a good article!
I can't see the pics but don't worry, these have been posted at least twice.
 
ok, I found this video , (that I have seen before but I didn't find it in a long time), and a girl give me a link of it... the problem is that I don't have window media player 10 and I can't save it, so I want to know if someone can download it and share it from Yousendit... is a good video, about catwalk of the 90's...


here is the link of the thread where the girl give the direction...

It's a typical FTV video and it's also around as a flash presentation. The same site gives you the oportunity to save it to your computer, therefore you can watch in your player of choice. I can watch it on winamp (I have the latest version 5.21)

I know this photo has been posted already but I don't know if it's the case of an actual scan of it:
