The first image from 1988 and 1990 are smaller than the others. These images were not from the calendar months, and are likely from either the inside of the front cover or on the back cover.

Bear in mind that she's older than Cindy.   Any older supermodel is going to be followed everywhere she goes by a woman she can't possibly compete with: her younger self.  That said, I think that bleaching her hair blonde is not doing her any favors, and wearing it so long and in front, probably not either. I usually hate it when older brunette or auburn-haired women go blonde: it can look desperate.   I feel the same way about Heidi Klum.

I was never a fan of Cindy Crawford back in the day, but I can admit she looks great for her age now.  I think Heidi still looks great for her age too.  With Elle maybe it was just too much sun...

The thing about Elle, and other SI models of her era like Ashley Richardson or Stacey Williams, is that they were leggy.  Tall yes, but more importantly, a nice ratio of leg length to height.  The girls they have in SI nowadays are not that way at all.  They simply do not compare, IMO.

I agree, SI actually embraces some curves now, which is great.  Although I think Kate Upton is just chunky and not that hot personally...
