MANICURIST:
The profession in which capacity Dorothy serves Frasier Crane's producer Roz, according to the fifth-season Frasier episode "Hallowe'en" - Cindy was the guest caller on that particular episode, and she played Dorothy. See also ELLEN and 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN.
MARGOLIS, CINDY:
American blonde blue-eyed large-breasted model-actress-whatever (you may recall her from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery or her shortlived The Cindy Margolis Show) whose "fame" was as a result of being the most downloaded woman on the Internet - until Danni Ashe got that honour and thereby got on Margolis's wick. (Danni Ashe is a porn star-cum-entrepreneur who looks like a shorter, more endowed and much, much sexier version of Penny Marshall.) CM's website used to cheekily announce "There's a new Cindy on the web," but thankfully the real world failed to fall for this. The most loathsome of all Cindy wannabes. (See also BROOK, KELLY and DAVIS, DELILAH.)
MARSHALL FIELDS:
Large department store in Chicago, and also home of Cindy's first big modelling gig in the early 1980s.
MASLIN, JANET:
American movie critic for The New York Times until 2000. In 1992 she wrote a review of Cindy Crawford: Shape Your Body as if it was a big screen movie. Smug, eh?
MCM:Short for Michael Cromer Munich, this was a German accessories firm that Cindy did advertisements for 1994-95; she even opened their London store in New Bond Street in 1995. Unfortunately the company didn't want the fragrant one's presence advertised for fear of a crowd... which would, one think, be a plus when launching a store. With thinking like that, you will not be surprised to hear that the shop has since closed.
MINI-MUSCLES:
Unlike Cindy's other exercise tapes, Mini-Muscles is 28 minutes long and aimed at kids, but this animated video (produced for the US fitness chain 24 Hour Fitness, and available there for free but as distributed by Carlton in the UK costs £5.99) is, it pains me to say, pure hell to sit through. In it, Cindy, her then-trainer Radu and a group of children called the Fit-Wits (I hope and pray Cindy didn't come up with that name) are assigned by the US President to go around the world collecting the various Keys to Fitness, with an evil blubbery character called Dr. Doubledip out to stop them. It all plays like a really, really bad children's TV show from the 1970s; patronising, incredibly badly written and with animation that would embarrass The Fruitties, this is undoubtedly the worst product Cindy has ever been associated with. But it is fun to see her as a cartoon character, plus the real thing appears in a live-action intro. And the cartoon Crawdaddy Productions logo that ends the tape (Cindy and a little buzzing critter flying around her face, landing on an area just above the lips on the left) is cute. Can't wait to see it at the end of a better project... TV movies perhaps?
MINDY MOLEFORD:
See THE TICK.
MOLEFACE:
A name Cindy was called as a child, on account of her most prominent feature. In spite of suggestions (and temptations) to have it removed, wiser counsel prevailed. It has been airbrushed off her on at least one Vogue cover, and you still have claims to this day that it's a blotch on her. And can you blame them? I mean, just look at this list of women who've been disfigured by moles of various sizes on their person:
MOULINEX:
French houseware company whose products Cindy pushes, notably in a TV commercial where she plays the lady of the house. She does not actually use them onscreen, mind...
