top model to f21 - a step down?

I was perusing Forever 21's website today when I noticed one of the models looked familiar. Is that Nicole from Top Model? Yes indeed, a Google search confirmed my suspicions. Nicole Linkletter, Cycle 5 winner of America's Next Top Model, is modeling for Forever 21. Has the economy hit even the untouchable fashion industry (people will ALWAYS buy $3000+ couture, no matter how far the stock market slumps)? Or was this just the only work Nicole could get? I find that a little hard to believe...she doesn't have a super high fashion look, not like, say, Ann of the current cycle, but she's very beautiful and has the perfect easy, breezy, beautiful Cover Girl look.



Either way, Forever 21 isn't the worst Nicole could be doing. I obviously like the brand (I used to work for them and at least half my closet is F21), and it's a very well-known line of affordable, not-so-well-made clothing, accessories, shoes, etc. She's probably better off than at least one of the other cycle winners - has anyone heard a peep from Jaslene or Saleisha recently? Nicole's getting a lot of face time, and that's good.
