Wind back the clock to October 1990, when five of the biggest supermodels on the planet: Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Tatjana Patiz, starred in the David Fincher-directed video for George Michael’s “Freedom! ‘90.” Michael, who died on Sunday aged 53, had requested the models after seeing the same five pose for fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh’s iconic Vogue cover. “UK Vogue’s editor Liz Tilberis asked me to capture the ‘new’ woman of the Nineties,” Lindbergh tells CNN. That cover showcasing the five natural beauties, stripped down, in black and white catapulted each woman’s career to stardom. “The idea was not to photograph women on social status but women independent of themselves who didn’t need to look at their husbands. It turned out to be the new thing that everyone was waiting for. People could see they represented a different world.” “They were strong, intelligent, they knew what a woman was and they were really clever. After this came the explosion of supermodels. Everyone jumped on them.” Linda Evangelista, sporting a platinum blonde crop and an oversized black turtleneck, opens the “Freedom! ‘90” video, spliced between Michael lip-syncing the lyrics: “I won’t let you down, I will not give you up, gotta have some faith in the sound, it’s the one good thing that I’ve got.” What follows are smoldering scenes of the models, lip-syncing to the then 27-year-old’s third single off his “Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1” album. Campbell, Evangelista, Turlington and Crawford would later sing along to “Freedom! ‘90” to close Versace’s Fall/Winner 1991 runway. “25 years later, this video and not my magazine covers is what people mention the most when they approach me on the street. It’s pretty incredible,” Evangelista told Harper’s Bazaar during the 25th anniversary of the video’s debut. Lynnette Peck, a fashion retailer and style journalist who worked at Vogue in the 90s, vividly remembers seeing the video for the first time.
(CNN.COM) The plans of three murder suspects, who thought that they could return home and have a good Guyanese Christmas with their friends and family, were shattered Monday when the cops got word that they had returned home from neighboring Suriname. The three suspects were accused of executing former murder accused, Orin David, called “Malik” in front of his Lot 89 Laing Avenue, Georgetown home in the presence of his reputed wife and other relatives on August 1, last. The alleged AFRICA - Urgent action is needed to stop the cheetah the world’s fastest land animal becoming extinct, experts have warned.
Scientists estimate that only 7,100 of the fleet-footed cats remain in the wild, occupying 9% of the territory they once lived in. Asiatic populations have been hit the hardest, with fewer than 50 surviving in Iran, according to an investigation led by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) and Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). In Zimbabwe, cheetah numbers have plummeted by 85% in little more than a decade. The cheetah’s trigger man, Samuel McIntyre, was charged shortly after the murder while three of his accomplices fled to Suriname. Monday , the police received information that the three men had returned home to spend the holidays with their families and decided to set up a sting operation. One of the men, who has been identified as “Spleen” was captured in Agricola. His two accomplices have not been apprehended. The 33-year-old man was killed after one of five men came out of a car and riddled dramatic decline has prompted calls for the animal’s status to be upgraded from “vulnerable” to “endangered” on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of threatened species. Dr Sarah Durant, from ZSL and WCS, the project leader for the Rangewide conservation program, said: “This study represents the most comprehensive analysis of cheetah status to date. Given the secretive nature of this elusive cat, it has been difficult to gather hard information on the species, leading to its plight being overlooked. Our findings show that the him with bullets. According to reports, the former murder accused had confrontations several times with a man from Agricola, East Bank Demerara, whom he had bailed out of jail some time last year. It was reported that on the day in question, David and the suspect were involved in a heated argument over the monies. It is alleged that the Agricola resident went away and later returned with four persons in two vehicles and executed David. Last year February, David was freed after spending five large space requirements for cheetah, coupled with the complex range of threats faced by the species in the wild, mean that it is likely to be much more vulnerable to extinction than was previously thought.” The cheetah is years in prison for the 2010 murder of Mahaica farmer, Lakhram Bishundial. Bishundial, called Mohan, was shot and killed during a robbery at Hope Turn, East Coast Demerara as he was on his way to a nearby Ashram to make preparations for his younger brother’s wedding. On July 12, 2015, David, who had allegedly tossed a firearm in a trench during a police patrol exercise on July 9, was charged with unlawful possession of a gun.
