Last night at the Emmys, perennial front-runner Vanessa Williams was shut out from the best supporting actress category for her work on 'Ugly Betty'.
Instead Jean Smart won. We've never even heard of the show Jean won for, but whatever. she already had her hit show in the 80s. 'Designing Women' was enough!

With Fashion Week reaching a fever pitch in New York, the recent withdrawal of Model Health Inqury’s “ban size zero” request from London’s Fashion Week hasn’t abated support for the cause. In fact, many seasoned models have since vocalized their own tales of weight-loss terror and condemned the fashion industry’s pressure to be too thin.
Kate Moss, in an rare upcoming Interview magazine feature, speaks candidly of her peak modeling days, where often times her notoriously waifish figure appeared even too thin for her own liking:
“I didn’t eat for a long time. Not on purpose. You’d be on shoots with bad food or get on a plane and the food would be so disgusting you couldn’t eat it. You go to a show and there’s no food at all … I remember standing up in the bath one day and … I was so thin! I was never anorexic … I remember thinking, I don’t want to be this skinny.”
Six models died last year because of the pressure to fit into sizes found only on Mars.
We here at Society Sex remember when models had to be pretty from the GATE, before PhotoShop.
We've provided proof of age-defying beauty queens who still have it today: Beverly Johnson and Vanessa Williams.
