[A black and white photo taken at night, with light and dark reversed so some things appear to be glowing. A naked fat person seen from behind. They are bent over, visible from the ass down, the sweet spots of their ass cheeks and their cunt are glowing, and glowing pee is streaming down between their spread legs and bent knees, puddling on the concrete below, between their bare feet. They are surrounded by vines and tall grasses. Around the photo is a purple frame with the following text:
Deep Thoughts From the Supermodels
Christie Brinkley: “Richard doesn’t really like me to kill bugs, but sometimes I can’t help it.”
Linda Evangelista: “I can do anything you want me to do so long as I don’t have to speak.”
Beverley Johnson: “Everyone should have enough money to get plastic surgery.”
Kate Moss: “It was kind of boring for me to have to eat. I would know that I had to, and I would.”
Paulina Poriskova: “When I model I’m pretty blank. You can’t think too much or it doesn’t work.”
Cheryl Tiegs: “It’s very important to have the right clothes to exercise in. If you throw on an old t-shirt or sweats, it’s not inspiring for your workout.
Cindy Crawford: “They were doing a full back shot of me in a swimsuit and I thought, oh my god, I have to be so brave. Every woman hates herself from behind.”
Christy Turlington: “You can usually tell when I’m happy by the fact that I’ve gained weight.”
Christy Turlington: “I think if my butt’s not too big for them to be photographing it, then it shouldn’t be too big for me.”
Christie Brinkley: “I wish my butt did not go sideways, but I guess I have to face that.”
