Christmas cards designed by Cindy Crawford for Yahoo! and Old Navy’s Hope for the Holidays event, which raised money for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation

Although I find that the Cindy Crawford’s Christmas cards design is lacking in portraying the spirit of Christmas, she is doing it as part of a collection of holiday greeting cards that are hand-illustrated and signed by dozens of well-known celebrities. Available as both print and electronic greetings, the cards are part of Hope for the Holidays, created by Yahoo! and Old Navy to raise funds and awareness for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.

In the 1980s and 1990s Cindy was frequently featured on the cover of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, ELLE, Cosmopolitan and Allure, and has worked for Omega, Maybelline, and Clairol. In July 1988, Cindy became the first modern supermodel to pose nude for Playboy magazine. She was ranked number 5 on Playboy’s list of the 100 Sexiest Stars of the 20th Century. A 1997 Shape magazine survey of 4,000 picked her as the second (after Demi Moore) most beautiful woman in the world. In 2002, Crawford was named one of the 50 Most Beautiful People by People magazine. Even in her forties she claimed #26 in the 2006 Hot 100 issue of Maxim.

After modeling she continues to provide celebrity endorsement for a variety of projects. In 2005, Crawford created a line of beauty products with Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh called Meaningful Beauty for Guthy-Renker. Though the product infomercials credit Dr. Sebagh and his melon extract for the youthful appearance of her skin, Crawford has admitted to regularly receiving certain cosmetic procedures, including Botox, collagen, and vitamin injections. She first saw a plastic surgeon at the age of 29.

Crawford recently launched a new line of furniture under the “Cindy Crawford Home Collection” name, exclusively with Rooms To Go. She assisted in the creation of the line by directing the designers to include certain features, colors, or styles that fit the needs of families or reflected her own taste. It looks like her talents lie in home décor and not in Christmas cards design.
