Ladies and gents, this is what a 45-year-old supermodel looks like. Cindy Crawford not only graces the cover of May's Vogue Mexico, but images of her full editorial work within the mag, wherein she flaunts flawless high-fashion looks from the likes of Burberry, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci, have just surfaced. Since her advice about maintaining youthful looks is suspiciously simplistic, we all must simply accept that Crawford is just naturally perfect and marvel at her perfection. See more from the spread after the jump.

Southern California finally has its very own Café Habana, and although related, it's nothing like Nolita’s go-to Cuban spot. During the day, this Malibu social hub is winning over the rich and famous with stellar Cuban-inspired fare. At night, kids pack the spot to check out what the DJs are saying and playing. Every Tuesday, the restaurant turns into a club of sorts, when Sicky Dicky productions teams up with Cisco Adler and Shwayze to play hip-hop and more for very attractive white people.

[NewMag] ● Some women hide from the title of a MILF ... not supermodel Cindy Crawford. She embraces her MILF status; just don’t call her a cougar, that’s all on Demi Moore.

Martin Margiela isn’t the only fashion alumnae channeling Martha Stewart and adding home décor designer to his resume. Supermodel Cindy Crawford has signed a deal with JCPenney to create a home accoutrement collection that includes furniture, bedding, window treatments, and more. New York magazine recently got a look at the reasonably priced goods, and they’re definitely worth checking out (think Anthropologie at a more affordable price point). The collection, dubbed Cindy Crawford Style, debuts in JCPenney’s new NYC store, which opens in July.

What makes a supermodel? According to Naomi Campbell, "Models need to earn their stripes -- I just think the term [supermodels] is used a little too loosely." Campbell, who's lucky enough to have arguably earned the title, goes on to say that "Kate Moss is obviously a supermodel but after Gisele, I don't think there's been one." The original crop of supermodels includes Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Claudia Schiffer, and of course, Campbell, who dismisses the new crop of popular models like Agyness Deyn and Hilary Rhoda as unworthy of the supermodel tiara. Easy for her to say, all perched high on her glass stilettos and hurling objects at servants.
