    The biggest beauty trend for 2013? Running with scissors.

    Lindsey Wixson at the Devil's Heaven Summer Benefit in New York


    There's something strange going on in Supermodel Land right now. The girls that bat away the new faces every season and continue to dominate the fashion and beauty world are going all Edward Scissorhands on us.

    Let's explore.

    And now peroxide blonde Abbey Lee is sporting a sleek, black crop on the Gucci AW13 fashion campaign.

    Cynics will write it off as the best looking girls in the world merely proving how gorgeous they are even with the dodgiest DIY crop, but us? Well, we think it's kinda wonderful.
