What one doesn't expect is that supermodels get stage fright too. “I must admit, I was nervous [doing this shoot] because times have changed, she reveals. “You don't want to look like a has-been, or like you're out of touch. What if people go, 'Hey, it's the 21st century-why is she posing like it's the 1980s?
