March 14, 200916 yr Burney Lamar Says Ciel is ‘Absolutely Perfect’ All you have to do is listen to NASCAR driver Burney Lamar to hear how much he’s enjoying fatherhood, nine days after welcoming daughter Ciel! The new dad “love everything about my daughter” — including the stinky bits! “I know you hear about some dads not changing diapers, but not me,” he says. “I am trying to just spend as much time with her and do everything I can right now — even the diapers!” Burney, 28, also likes dressing his daughter. “Putting clothes on a couple day old child is the coolest thing!,” explains the proud papa. “She is so small and the clothes are so tiny. It is just amazing!” However, his favorite thing about his daughter is her scent. “She smells so good. And, this is going to sound funny, but even her breath smells good when she cries. And her crying is the cutest thing ever. She makes the sweetest faces. She is absolutely perfect.” Overall, Ciel is “a great baby. She sleeps well so far, only up two of the five nights. We actually have to wake her up to feed her,” says Burney, quickly clarifying that his wife, supermodel Niki Taylor, is the one on “night shift.” Ciel is the first child for Burney and Niki, 34. Niki is also mom to 14-year-old identical twin sons Hunter and Jake. Source: PaddockTalk
April 15, 200916 yr excuse me ... "didn't become a supermodel" ... erm ... ?!?!?!?!?!??? Niki Taylor is one of the most famous supermodels to EVER come out of America. at one time she was as famous here as any of the other supers. sure, she didn't get the european high fashion success. but as far as a NAME goes - she was VERY famous. and she has literally HUNDREDS of magazine covers. does anyone else see a resemblance between her and KK?!
April 15, 200916 yr you are so right Happyc! Niki was so so so famous and popular in the 90 's just as much as some of the other girls. You couldn't go through a checkout line without seeing Niki on all the covers. She maybe wasn't as big as Cindy or Claudia, but she was in the top 20 biggest girls of the industry during the 90's for sure! It's a shame she doesn't seem to get the recgonition she deserves and I have always thought kk is sort of a more modernized version of Niki. they both have that incredible smile! and of course the blondeness
April 15, 200916 yr i cant believe niki taylor didnt become a supermodel in the industry! You must be very very young. Niki was huge in the early 90's,she is the youngest person ever to grace Vogue,she was a covergirl,in SI(when it actually meant something)and as happy canadian said graced 100's of magazine covers.She is even mentioned in that stupid Supermodel song along with Christy and Claudia. I think because she got married and had twins by 19,really hurt her career though or maybe it was her choice.
April 15, 200916 yr yeah -- she was like the Elle MacPherson of the 90s. sure, she didn't model for Prada or Versace all that often (perhaps never, i'm not really sure of Niki's portfolio) but she was still a celebrity supermodel. very VERY successful and famous and ubiquitous.

She did Versus and i think that's the car accident that stop her amazing career. She was a supermodel & as Bella said i really think KK is a modern Niki. Same blond hair, same long legs and same big smile.
April 16, 200916 yr well it never seemed like she was a super because i never hear people mention niki when they talk about supers...i know shes has alot of covers but they arent high fashion covers....but still great ones! she was always on cosmo marie claire allure and mademoiselle....to me all her covers look the same...shes just smiling on them! she didnt need to do any runway because she had the all american girl next door look that was perfect for covergirl and womens mags back then
April 16, 200916 yr I think you are probably right in the sense that, for a general audience of people who don't follow fashion, Niki Taylor probably would not get mentioned as often in the context of the phrase "90s supermodel" as Cindy or Claudia, say. But I think there is just no question that Niki qualifies as a top fashion model, and that her name belongs near the top of any list of "supermodels". There is no criterion that I can conceive of that doesn't qualify her. Models like Elle and Kathy, I believe, grossed more money, and models like Cindy and Claudia possibly had more "name recognition", but the fact that Niki isn't in the top 5 in those categories doesn't disqualify her from being considered a supermodel. I also think it's ridiculous to argue over what defines "supermodel" status, and whether someone should or should not consider Niki a "supermodel". You don't think she's a supermodel? Well, fine. I think she unquestionably is. I think most people who follow fashion do. You also mention an absence of runway work. Actually, she has a lot of runway in her career. Versace, Mugler, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren. I agree that Niki is on a lot of covers smiling, but, I mean, to quote the kids, *duh*. It's a cover. And she has a great smile. Here is a quick panel of covers I put together (all from Bud's site): One is Italian Vogue. Mid-90s Italian Vogue is not 'high fashion', is the logical equivalent of Niki Taylor is not a supermodel. And you might consider the last one a "typical smiley cover", but I definitely don't. I can't tell if all that sounds like a harsh response to what was possibly just an innocent comment. But I definitely think Niki Taylor qualifies as a top model, and by any standard, as a supermodel. I'm not sure what difference that makes to the universe, but anyway.
April 16, 200916 yr Daniela Pestova and Niki Taylor had been my most favourite 90s models. I don´t care for if a model is titled "top" or "super" model, because I do like to see a models photo more or less for that.
