I really can't tell the difference sometimes between her new and old work! (unlike some of the other supers you can clearly tell) Christy is truly timeless.
 
Christy Turlington to Run New York City Marathon


Natalia Vodianova and Agyness Deyn are about to get some competition in the marathon running department. Christy Turlington will be lacing up her sneakers to compete in the New York City Marathon Nov. 6. She and nine other friends and supporters will be covering the 26.2-mile course to raise awareness for Every Mother Counts, the organization she founded that aims to improve maternal and child health. Maybelline New York, Roberto Coin (two labels plugged by the supermodel) and Lifeway Foods have signed on as sponsors.

Turlington said she has run off and on throughout her life but, until recently, six miles was the max. With her husband, Ed Burns, busy during the week starring in the upcoming flick “I, Alex Cross,” Turlington said she can now leave him to tend to their two children “guilt-free” when she ventures out for a 21-mile run during the weekend.

Having already raised $70,000 for her cause, she mentioned one or two other upsides to marathon training. “One thing you have to do is carb-loading. That is something I had always heard about but never really knew what it involved,” she said. “It’s kind of nice to say you have to eat carbs. That’s my job right now.”

That isn’t the only one she is working on. Her own film, “No Woman, No Cry,” will be available on DVD Dec. 6 through OWN and Virgil Entertainment. And after years of appearing in Calvin Klein Eternity commercials, she seems to be switching camps. Turlington just shot an ad campaign for Donna Karan’s new fragrance, “Woman.”

I don't know who that woman in the twitter pic is, but she looks like former model Mystee Bechenbach.

Christy Turlington: Every Tweet Counts

Known around the world for her charming look and impeccable walk, Christy Turlington has been a reference in the fashion industry since the late 1980s. Alongside Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista, Christy became what the press would soon describe as a supermodel. Now, 25 years later, her advocacy campaigns have caught up with her flawless beauty.

In 2010 she founded ‘Every Mother Counts’, an organization that tackles the astonishing rate of preventable pregnancy complications that cost a life every 90 seconds. A very personal project, she spells it out in her directorial debut ‘No Woman No Cry’. The documentary brings to our attention a brutal reality of life.

A radiant looking Christy is gracefully sprawled in a delivery room while filmmaker husband, Edward Burns, shoots the magical moment of their first child’s birth. Right after the baby is born, Christy begins to hemorrhage heavily, something that might have certainly been fatal had she not been a first world citizen.

A harsh wake-up call that prompted a journey through different countries, where mothers struggle to have a safe pregnancy. There’s no doubt that, although she‘s not completely retired from the fashion industry, her model status is the last of her occupations nowadays.

From her Twitter account, Christy Turlington Burns raises awareness through messages, videos, links and special announcements regarding the many events she attends on behalf of ’Every Mother Counts’. With more than 33,000 devoted followers, Christy’s twitter has become the voice of her innovative campaigns.

But instead of promoting a fragrance or a pair of sunglasses, she is spreading the word for fundraisers, conferences and new projects. And if she is to endorse a beauty campaign, she makes sure the big names that want her image also chip in financially. These days she’s getting ready for the next challenge, a marathon that will take place on November 6th in New York City.

It is a project that will hopefully raise a whopping amount of money and also a whole lot of awareness. We can only hope that besides thousands of people, a few supermodels-turned-supermoms join Christy in this adventure. In the last weeks, Christy has actively participated in various events such as a campaign called ‘GW Phones For Hope’ at The George Washington University, where she said they’re hoping to get over 20,000 used cell phones to generate new ones for developing countries.

Also she launched Avon’s new fragrance and got a $10,000 donation from the cosmetic company and will be soon premiering her new short film ‘Every Mother Counts: Obstetric Fistula’ at the Lunafest film festival. There is no excuse, we may be parents or potential parents but ultimately everybody has a mother and a special story attached to their birth too.

A few days ago, a generous mom-to-be took her twitter account to confess she had donated the amount of money she’d be otherwise spending on the baby shower invitations to ‘Every Mother Counts’. Such an inspiring action that will hopefully become a global reality thanks to people like Christy Turlington Burns.

Inez & Vinoodh shot this? I haven't witnessed such excessive airbrushing from them before. Always a pleasure to see Christy, regardless.

Love her for L'Officiel but I think they could have done a better job with such a wonderful model.
