Scavullo's description of the new naturalism fits several tall, smashing models?Rene Russo, Lisa Taylor and Patti Hansen, a freckle-faced 21-year-old from Staten Island, whom he photographed nude for a 24-page story coming in the April Vogue. It certainly fits Lauren Hutton, whose gap-toothed, T-shirt-and-nothing beauty in the late '60s made the earlier exoticism seem airless and unexciting.

Such matey relationships as Natty Bumppo...
...amiable, but flat. Like the tough-looking woman at the bar, many patrons seem bored. A pleasant young woman with a distressing overbite is standing at the bar, staring aimlessly into middle distance. "I don't know why I'm here," she says.
