Models are great at a lot of things: walking, for instance. Standing very still for long periods of time. Finding their light. Finding coke in the middle of the night when seemingly no one is around. And then there are some models who are actually great at other things, like music. But for some, the spirit is willing but the talent is lacking. These 10 professional stunners have all taken a stab at the music industry, but even the best of ‘em can fall flat on their face…or ass.

There’s been a lot of flack about the interwebs regarding Vogue Italia‘s “Haute Mess” editorial shot by Steven Meisel, styled by Lori Goldstein and starring Joan Smalls, Coco Rocha, Lindsey Wixson, Daphne Groeneveld, Jessica Stam, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Guinevere van Seenus and Karen Elson in all their ghetto fabulous glory.

Sprinkled throughout W’s November issue are some eye-catching ads featuring Linda Evangelista shilling shampoo, Joan Rivers (airbrushed into near oblivion) hawking furs and Anna Dello Russo slathered in anti-aging cream. These and six other tongue-in-cheek fauxmmercials were shot by Steven Meisel and styled by Edward Enninful, creating the kind of consumer confidence that only a toddler in a tiara and a naked drag queen can foster.

If there wasn’t a romantic chill in the air when Peter Lindbergh captured Karen Elson and actor John Hawkes for the October 2011 issue of Vogue, he certainly used his masterful skills to make even us readers feel the atmosphere through the pages.
