The Resume

    (November 1, 1953- )

    Married to Duran Duran bassist John Taylor

Why she might be annoying:

    She is divorced from her first marriage.
    Her line conceived the velor track suit.
    Her line also had young teen-aged girls wearing sweatpants with the word 'JUICY' stitched across the bum.
    Her current husband is seven years her junior.
    A Barbie doll was fashioned after her.
    Juicy specializes in high end casual wear.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is a Carnegie Mellon graduate.
    The line's velor track suit became popular after celebrity magazines printed pictures of Madonna wearing them.
    She and her partner later included formal clothes in the line.
    Celebrity fans of her line include Madonna, Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Affleck and Sarah Michelle Gellar.
    Before her second marriage to John, her husband preferred to have relationships with younger models (ex-wife Amanda De Cadenet was 11 years his junior), but she changed that.
    She turned her husband into a family man as he became a stepfather to her two children and credited her with helping him regain faith in relationships.
    John also credited her with helping him overcome his drug problem.
    She and Pamela retained creative direction of the company after Liz Claiborne purchased the Juicy label in 2003.
