We admit to keeping some motivational photos of Tracy Anderson for our workout inspiration.

(Huffington Post)

Even models fall, and sometimes they fall hard. Check out the top blunders, here! (Complex)
When they’re all dolled up, it’s easy to think these girls are older than they are- but seeing the fresh-faced models wandering the city during Fashion Week, looking dazed from all the go-sees, we’re reminded of how young they really are! The CFDA is now urging its members to require that models walking their shows are at least 16; we’ll see how that works out. (NY Times)

Meet NYC's Most Beautiful Teenage Brothers
Stephanie Seymour has been many things to many people – supermodel back when it meant something, muse to and victim of Axl Rose, Playboy centerfold, and much more. Is celeb-mom her next gig?
See, after she left all of that behind, an affaire de coeur with billionaire publishing magnate Peter Brant turned into a family and a quiet(er) life in Connecticut. A life perhaps a little too quiet for her openly-gay and – let's be frank here – damned fabulous son Peter Brant II and his equally stylish younger brother Harry.
Hot new things, the Brant Brothers are stirring up the fashion world with their unapologetic glamour and an over-the-top twitter. Besides hanging out with Tavi, going to all the fashion week shows, meeting famous designers, chatting with buyers about yachts, and, of course, wearing the kinds of clothes young men (and women) would pretty much give a kidney for, the dynamic duo are so... beautifully fancy... they swallow attention like nobody's business. We mean, just look at them. Transfixing, aren't they?
Gawker hails Peter II (never Jr.) and Harry as potential new role models for gay youth – which is interesting and encouraging, if perhaps a bit premature. After all, these guys were born into a helluva lot of power and privilege. Connecting with the young man who buys his eveningwear from Walmart could be a stretch. It gets better? For these kids, it was never bad. Also, it might be a little narrow minded to think that gay youth will always look up to the fabulously dressed and fabulously wealthy? But, then again, we just can't look away from that picture. They're like a couple of Persian cats with the hair of a young Elvis. Somebody get these boys a reality show asap!
Tell us what you think — are the Brant Brothers role model stature, or are they just two (very, very) pretty faces? (Gawker)

Don't Worry, Michael Vick Is Not Going To NYFW
Although we're always a little curious as to what guys think about our outfit choices, you can rest assured that we're never standing in front of a mirror thinking "What would Michael Vick think about these high-waisted jeans in a faded indigo dye?" or "I wonder if Michael Vick would say yay or nay to these faux-suede flatforms." Well, apparently others think differently—a pr flack has been making lots of calls, trying to get the football player seats at several New York Fashion Week shows. But, before you going into cardiac arrest wondering if Vick is trying to save his (rightfully) trashed image by turning into a designer, it seems as though neither Vick nor his publicist have anything to do with this; Instead, someone has stolen his publicist's identity to score him the invites.
To seal the deal, Vick's (real) rep said his client wouldn't want to go to NYFW anyway. Booyeah. We're confused, too, but we're not exactly upset that we won't be sitting next to this creep in the tents. Though the question remains — who was making these calls? And why do they want Michael Vick to go to fashion week so badly? (Racked, TMZ)
