STRIKE A POSE

She was one of the most famous faces of the '90s. Now, as she turns 60, Cindy Crawford reflects on her iconic career and what matters in life

Cindy Crawford has learned a few things about life after years in the spotlight. One in particular: the importance of cherishing the present. And as the iconic supermodel marks her 60th birthday on Feb. 20, she's doing that very thing.

"I'm just loving life with my husband and enjoying having adult children," says the proud mom, counting her blessings and contemplating the decade ahead of her. "I love the fact that I still get to be in front of a camera sometimes and I still get to travel. But it's different now... Years ago, we were both so busy. Now, we're really enjoying having time for each other and just being spontaneous."

That isn't to say that Cindy's not in demand. When she isn't gracing red carpets - sometimes with her children, Presley, 26, and Kaia, 24 (both models), whom she shares with her better half, entrepreneur Rande Gerber, 63 - the star is devoted to a swath of projects, from her eponymous home furniture line to skin-care range Meaningful Beauty.
