Once a lady achieves the status of a "supermodel", this status is a permanent feature of her life. There is no such thing as a "former supermodel".

[edit] Statistics

I'm not sure that "vital statistics" (degrading nonsense) belong in an encyclopaedia article, but I'm certain that they don't belong in the summary.
