Cindy Crawford Pulls Plug on 10-Year-Old Daughter’s Modeling Career
Gerber, who looks remarkably like her mother, was a sensation when she posed for a new children's clothing line Versace in January 2011. On the set, Crawford said she was "not to be a mom ... on stage and make him nervous. She knew what I was looking at her. She does things with me modeling a small, but he was always with me, and only her. And I really wanted her to have this experience. "She adds that she was surprised how quickly cut images of her daughter wearing a leather jacket and a mini-skirt made headlines around the world. In a press release after the shooting, Donatella Versace, said:" As a mother, Kaya has a special gift. The camera is really like. "In the midst of my days of modeling, Crawford was the muse for the founder of the fashion house Gianni Versace, who was tragically killed in 1997.
It was reported that Kaya did not land on the pitching changes in the heart of the moms. According to Crawford, his daughter joked: "I could have the first model, because you do not need to know how to do anything, but I want to feed the baby."
While Crawford did not go into detail about his decision, in recent times, the abuse of underage models has been in the spotlight. Council of Fashion Designers of America asked its members to use only models over 16 stand on the catwalk at Fashion Week Mercedes Benz in New York. After her show on Monday, February 13, 2012, designer Marc Jacobs has been criticized in the press for knowingly send a 14-year-old and 15 years on the road. Problems range from girls to be more susceptible to eating disorders, their pictures taken while they change clothes for a photo shoot or fashion show.
Paulina Porizkova, a different model for the generation of Crawford, has been outspoken about the abuse she says is endemic in the industry. In a new documentary about modeling called About Face, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last month, Porizkova said she and other young models were so accustomed to the inappropriate behavior of agents and photographers, "What people call sexual harassment, we call compliments ".

Obama Wants Cheaper Pennies And Nickels
And because the Obama administration this week asked Congress for permission to change the mix of metal, which will earn money and a penny, my recipe, which has remained unchanged for over 30 years.
To be precise, it is worth 2.4 cents to a penny in 2011 and 11.2 cents for every nickel.
Given the number of coins the Mint production - 4.3 billion dinars and 914 million last year, only a penny, these costs add up quickly: only $ 100 million for each part.
But even if the Finance Ministry studied the new metal from 2010, it still comes with a realistic mix that will undoubtedly be cheaper, and he had no details yet about what metals are used and how it will be to save it.
Despite the cheaper metal can be used, it can not take a penny less than the cost of a penny.
Only the administrative costs of minting pennies worth 4300000000 nearly half a cent per share on its own, leaving very little room to less than a penny per cent, irrespective of the raw materials used.
The cost of raw materials from metals used in a penny today, only 0.6 cents per piece, depending on the prices quoted on the London Metal Exchange, as well as by the composition of a penny mint. The Mint made 1.1 cents on average for the metal used in the penny in 2011, but it cost ready-to-white root providers, not commodities traded on commodity markets in the first place.
Funny money? 11 local currencies
There have been times in recent years when a run-up in zinc and copper prices has taken the raw material value of a penny above one cent.
That's the case for a nickel today. Its more expensive metal mix means the raw materials in each are worth almost 6 cents per coin, based on current market prices. (States eye silver and gold currencies)
Despite popular belief, since 1982 pennies have only been copper plated, not copper through and through. Much less expensive zinc makes up 97.5% of the mass of a penny, the rest is a copper coating.
Nickels actually have much more copper in them -- 75% copper and 25% nickel, the same mix it has always had.
The mint did make steel pennies for one year -- in 1943 -- when copper was needed for the war effort. And steel might be a cheaper alternative this time. Steel is roughly one-quarter the price of zinc on the London Metal Exchange.
Treasury had already made a cost-saving move in December when it stopped making dollar coins.
With 1.4 billion surplus presidential dollar coins sitting in bank vaults waiting to be circulated, and American consumers showing little appetite to start using the coins, Treasury estimates the halt in production of the coins will save about $50 million a year.
Check commodity prices
The Treasury representative Matt Anderson said that the Treasury has the right to stop making a dollar coin for himself, but he can not change the mix of metals in cents without permission.
As for some suggestions it would be penny dropped, Anderson said, "this is not a proposal we put forward."
