Music / Fashion I Guess You Should Watch This Video of Famous Fashion Models Singing That Jay-Z Song About New York

I have no idea why this exists, and I kinda wish it didn't, but I suppose you shouldn't second-guess Jay-Z. He apparently thought the world needed to see a who's who of supermodels lip-sync to "Empire State of Mind" in honor of Fashion Week, so he got a who's who of supermodels to lip-sync to "Empire State of Mind" and posted it on his website, Life + Times. The New York Observer took it a step further, creating a rolodex of nearly every model that appears in the clip and some of the recent campaigns you might recognize them from. I just clicked through all 22 slides and now feel great about my thighs. You try!

It's amazing that they didn't manage to get a shot of a model at the one exact address Jay raps about, 560 State Street.
Also, when he says "Sitting courtside Knicks and Nets" there are literally a half-dozen places they could have gone—outside or inside Madison Square Garden, the Barclay's Center construction site, inside or outside the Nets' current arena, Carmelo Anthony's apartment—yet they appear to be in Central Park, where neither of those two teams plays.
