BY DESIGN : It’s Cindy’s World: We’re Just Here to Read About It

When Cindy Crawford’s first feature film, “Fair Game,� was scheduled for release in late summer, a plethora of magazines committed to featuring the newly hyphenated super-model-actress on their covers. Then, studio execs put off her debut until September and again until October. The result: Crawford has dominated the newsstands for months.

In the July/August Detour, she soaks in a tub with “Fair Game� co-star William Baldwin. In the August Premiere, she offers up excerpts from her on-set diary. (“We ended up working until 2 a.m. Saturday and then some of us went out to a bar called Tobacco Road--and I got carded! Don’t let me forget the story about the prop boys.�)

In the August Esquire, headlined “Women We Love,� she poses like a fetus. In the September Redbook, she discusses her breakup with Richard Gere. In the September In Style, she reveals, “The sexiest smell I know is the nook of a man’s chest.� And lastly, in the inaugural issue of George now on newsstands, she does the powdered wig bit. Rumors of a forthcoming appearance on the cover of the Economist are unconfirmed.
