How do we measure the rankings of the world’s Top Models? By number of campaigns and editorials? By paycheck? By how gorgeous they are? What with disputes on brand and magazine prestige, and definitions of beauty, we’ll let the internet be the eye of the beholder. PeekScore measured the digital imprints of top models and determined who is has the biggest web presence, i.e. most written about, followed and searched. Some of these results may surprise you. Others, like the strong presence of Victoria’s Secret Angels, may not. See who reigns supreme, as voted on by every single one of us, without our knowledge. Who is number one? Heidi Klum? Kate Moss? Gisele Bündchen? Lara Stone?

The weight, dress size and health of models have always been hot-button topics, both in and out of the fashion industry. While runways are slowly shying away from the ultra-thin, heroin chic craze that dominated the late-90s and resurfaced in the mid-00s with all those pale, starving girls from Eastern Europe, and the CFDA has enacted initiatives to ensure the health and safety of models, there is still a large disparity between the average woman and what she sees when opens up the pages of Vogue. And with fashion, the trend simply trickles down to the rest of society. Just take a look at the skeletons on this Sunday’s Golden Globes red carpet. Bombarded with these images on a daily basis, how can impressionable young girls and women in general have a healthy body image? Plus Model Magazine decided to address this issue head-on with an editorial featuring Katya Zharkova and a handful of disturbing factoids.

Rock’s baddest bitch has to be VV A.K.A. Baby Ruthless A.K.A. Alison Mosshart. The first byname came by way of her mainstay indie blues band The Kills. She and bandmate Hotel A.K.A. Mr. Kate Moss A.K.A. Jamie Hince met aurally through a hotel wall kind of like in this Standard Hotel film. Her second sobriquet came with her lead singing/electric guitar wailing role in Jack White‘s supergroup Dead Weather. Her look has natural swagger – she’s a boho glam bombshell that can somehow camouflage as one of the guys. Give her a leather, a fur, a fringe, a native print, a plaid, a ripped tee, she knows what to do with it. Her jaw can cut more hits than her two bands combined. If you haven’t met her before, meet our Music Muse: Alison Mosshart.

‘Twas one hell of a year for fashion, 2011. Alexander McQueen triumphed this year thanks to a pair of well-documented dresses and a bona fide cultural phenomenon at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
