Christy Turlington

What would we do without moms? Well, we wouldn't exist. There's much to say about motherhood, but can you capture your experience in six words? Or the sentiment you have for your own mom or a friend in that way? Smith Magazine, Postcards From Yo Momma, and our friends at Truu Mom Confessions are challenging people to do so in honor of Mother's Day. Women from Jessica Alba to Christy Turlington have chimed in. We rounded up our own and a few favorites from the six words website and on Twitter. Add yours!

In the minute it takes to watch this clip, a woman will die of a pregnancy-related complication. Model and mother of two, Christy Turlington Burns examines the unnecessary death associated with childbirth in her documentary No Woman, No Cry which recently debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival. The film follows the director to Tanzania, Bangladesh, Guatemala and in the United States examining the conditions in which women become mothers.

>> Fall 2010 campaign season is well under way — and although not all casts have been finalized, as is the case over at Miu Miu, many have, causing an influx of rumors and confirmations.  On Wednesday, Karen Elson joined Christy Turlington and Natalia Vodianova on the Fall 2010 Louis Vuitton campaign set in New York, where Steven Meisel photographed and Karl Templer styled. Meisel also shot the Lanvin campaign this week in New York, with Alber Elbaz overseeing another trio: Anja Rubik, Magdelena Frackowiak and Mariacarla Boscono.

Givenchy, too, is rumored to be going with a trio of female models — Ming Xi, Joan Smalls, and Mariacarla Boscono — joined by a few male models in front of Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott's lens. But the trio trend breaks there — word going around is that Meisel captured 12 girls for Balenciaga, including Finnish newcomer Kirsi Pyrhonen, and Roberto Cavalli is going solo with Gisele Bundchen shot by Mert and Marcus.

>> Louis Vuitton Reportedly Picks Two Models Who Didn't Walk Fall 2010 Runway for Campaign — After Louis Vuitton's voluptuous Fall 2010 cast featuring models in a range of ages — from Bar Refaeli to Elle Macpherson — there were many potential choices to lead the brand's subsequent campaign. But in fact, Marc Jacobs has reportedly gone with two models for Fall 2010, neither of which walked the runway — Natalia Vodianova, who sat front row at the show, and Christy Turlington.  The campaign will apparently be shot next week with Karl Templer, not show stylist Katie Grand, doing styling honors.

>> Models Photograph Themselves for Vogue Italia's December 2009 Twitter Cover Story —Steven Meisel devoted the January 2007 issue of Vogue Italia to webcams and YouTube, and for the magazine's last issue of the decade, it's all about Twitter.  So far, only the December 2009 cover has surfaced, featuring Kasia Struss alongside iconic top models Lara Stone, Natalia Vodianova, Christy Turlington — and in a surprise, the currently close-to-the-end-of-her-pregnancy Gisele Bundchen — but word is that the models on the cover and in the accompanying editorial inside all photographed themselves, in an ode to Twitpic.
