Fashion model Pat Cleveland

Hello Cleveland! :-D

In the word of elite fashion modeling, Pat Cleveland is an unbridled force of nature. At times outlandish, other times outrageous, she's always out on life's stage with a healthy attitude. A fixture on runways and in print ads, she's also inspired a line of department store mannequins. Which is ironic, as she's probably one of the liveliest models of all time.

She writes poetry, and she also keeps a blog, Being Pat.

"Fashion gives you that extra something," she once said in a quote that sums her up nicely. "It helps make the world an interesting place to live in because it is part of life. Thank God for fashion."
