Claudia Schiffer Says 'No More Runways'

"I am finished with the runway," Claudia Schiffer, 39, is quoted as saying on Vogue.co.uk. "I won't miss it. I am still modeling and I enjoy that a lot but no more runways."
The blonde bombshell is plenty busy off the runway -- on top of being the mother of two, Schiffer is the face of Alberta Ferretti's fragrance, joins fellow '90s glamazons Naomi Campbell and Eva Herzigova in the new Dolce & Gabbana perfume ads, and, last season, shot Yves Saint Laurent's campaign.
Yes, older models do seem to be making a comeback: Schiffer's '90s cohort, Cindy Crawford, has also been starring in numerous campaigns of late and after a seven year hiatus, Natalia Vodianova made her runway return last week in Milan.
But this isn't the first time Schiffer has said ciao to the catwalk. After walking for little-known designer Giorgio Ferrari during Milan Fashion Week in 1998, she said she was finito!
Though, Schiffer appears to be happy where she is.
"I can sit on the side and view the outfits and see all the detail and that suits me fine," the Vogue UK story reported. "It's very enjoyable. I like my new viewpoint."
Wanna know which supermodel earns the most? ('Cause clearly it's not enough to be drop dead gorgeous; you have to be loaded, too.)

I have always been very afraid of aging, you know, becoming old and useless and unattractive. When I turned 50, I decided to do something about it. I've spent fortunes on face creams and anti-aging serums… but using GenFX is the first time I've tried turning back the clock from the inside out. It's also the last time I'll spend a fortune on face creams! Now everyone says I look 35!
