She is still so gorgeous, after all these years she looks the same, she doesn't even age.

Her hair....not quite sure about it.

 

[lelaid]

Ooooh the blonde hair is not the look. It looks a little brassy, she should go full on platinum if she's going to do it.

Don't loooooove the platinum on her (which is surprising since she was such a chameleon earlier in her career with so many hair changes), but GOD, she is so gorgeous it's crazy. And she still looks as fresh as she did over 10 years ago. What a beauty.

Would love to see her pop up exclusively on a high profile catwalk or step in front of Meisel's lens again....one can hope!

The World of Pain: Shannan Click by Pierre Toussaint and Tatiana Farley
Photographed by: Pierre Toussaint
Written by: Tatiana Farley
Makeup and hair: Sarah Uslan

For all its glittering holier-than-thou veneer, Shannan Click is one patient who has seen the dark side of health’s new golden child. A successful model who has walked the coveted Victoria’s Secret runway and whose ethereal poise has commanded campaigns for the likes of Armani and Cartier, Click recently shot with Pierre Toussaint for the first time since a harrowing ordeal left her perilously close to permanent brain damage. A ‘mom’ of two and keen yogi, Click had been experiencing persistent neck pain and, hoping to remedy it naturally, opted to heed the advice of a friend and pay a visit to a renowned pain relief centre in downtown Beverly Hills. Upon entering she was met by her chiropractor, who at first impression, appeared more used car salesman than medical professional, telling her ‘the massage from our day spa is an absolute must..’Bemused but not discouraged, Click trusted the process. This was no dive after all, hell, the establishment’s glitzy website flaunted testimonials from the likes of Paris Hilton and Quentin Tarantino (side-note: this is Hollywood). With one swift manipulation of the neck, Click’s vision became blurred, she was dizzy and lost control of her right eye. Heart leaping from her chest, she alerted her manipulator that something wasn’t right. The chiropractor’s first response? A Google search (“brain damage”). Shortly thereafter, Click was scuttled out the back entrance wherein a clumsy parade of the offending chiropractor’s specialist cronies ensued, each as clueless as the next. Finally, Click’s boyfriend, Boardwalk Empire star and nephew of Angelica Huston no less, Jack Huston came to the rescue, rushing her to Cedars-Sinai where it was confirmed she was in the throes of a stroke. A stroke is where the blood supply to the brain is interrupted and there is a four hour window where patients can be given Alteplase IV r-tPA to dissolve the clot before permanent brain damage takes hold. Click received this life-saving dose within a matter of minutes of that deadline.
It turns out the resounding crack of Click’s neck was the dissection of a cervical artery (a.k.a a torn artery) which precipitated the stroke. A similar sequence of events spelled a tragic ending for Playboy model Katie May who sustained a fatal injury in February 2016 from a neck manipulation. According to the Harvard Medical Journal these affect two in 100,000 people per year, but are also the most common cause of strokes in people under the age of 50. Hyperextension from chiropractic manipulation, weightlifting, yoga and even having your hair washed at the hairdresser are all known to have been triggers. While Click was fortunate to suffer no permanent physiological damage, the aftermath saw her experience panic attacks and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In a curious circle of events, in seeking natural pain relief, she was left in greater physical and emotional pain, and then prescribed heavy synthetic antidepressants and tranquilizers such as Lexapro and Xanax to cope with the trauma, with these medications only exacerbating her suffering. Ultimately, Click took her healing into her own hands turning to meditation and mindfulness to navigate her symptoms which proved a far more potent remedy than the cocktail of prescriptions. A year on and from the rear-view mirror, Click’s paradigm shift is, at its heart, more positive than at first glance.
Armed with a new clarity, Click was able to see both the poetry, and the irony of her experience. The neck by design is our flaw; a life line that bridges the brain to the body, our weakest point and yet it exerts so much influence. In a fitting parallel, it was through Click’s period of vulnerability and distress that she gathered an unprecedented sense of strength and calm. On that fateful day, Click was seeking a realignment, but little did she know this bittersweet turning point would instead recalibrate her perspective, her priorities and, naturally, her life.

Holy s**t! She had a stroke?!?! Wow, that's insane. Glad she was able to get the proper care and is on the road to recovery.

 

[tapenerd]

That sounds absolutely frightening! I'm so glad she is OK.

s*t.. counting my lucky stars after reading that .. I had an eerily similar experience (a chiro in Beverly Hills). Because of my history with herniated disks, I know better than to opt for pseudo science (aka a chiropractor) but add legal advice and what seemed to be just neck pain (later I learned it was a herniated disk) and I was in for a 5-week session that was.. odd at best (massages paired with creepy body compliments, wanting to crack my back, being upset that he couldn't manipulate my neck like 'wow what's wrong here, okay I'll just put my entire body weight on this bone' ).. I shudder to think I could've had the same or died or gone paraplegic. It's awful these people are allowed to operate but at the same time, getting an MRI and being properly diagnosed is so time-consuming and bureaucratic in America that before you know it, that's where you end up. And don't get me started on meditation.. yes, releasing tension helps a lot but a nerve doesn't unpinch itself by holding a crystal and being mindful, girl, let's not fix LA mistakes with LA cliches...
