Rule 5 Saturday - Christy Turlington

This week's Rule 5 special is devoted to Christy Turlington, American model:

Christy Turlington was born on January 2, 1969 in Walnut Creek, California, the middle of three daughters born to Dwain Turlington, a pilot for Pan American World Airways, and María Elizabeth (née Parker Infante), a flight attendant from Cojutepeque, El Salvador.

Walnut Creek, huh? That has to be the best thing that ever happened there.

Turlington began modeling after school from age 14 to 16 and during summers while she attended Monte Vista High School.After turning 18, she moved to New York City to model full-time, and later graduated from high school. She went back to school in 1994 and graduated cum laude in 1999 from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study of New York University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with a concentration in Comparative Religion and Eastern Philosophy.

Wow, that's a lot of edumaction for someone whose primary job is putting on and taking off clothes and makeup.

She has appeared on over 500 magazine covers and has been featured in several professional photobooks, including Peter Lindbergh's 10 Women, the cover of Arthur Elgort's Model Manual, Herb Ritts Man/Woman, and Karl Lagerfeld's Off the Record. In 1993 she posed nude for PETA's anti-fur campaign.

I'd rather see her naked than see her wear fur, too...

Hence, a few NSFW pictures here, here and here:
