Lily Cole
She's a supermodel, and she's appeared on "Dr. Who", which is nerd heroin. Actually maybe "Dr. Who" is closer to nerd cigarettes. Each one isn't that good and you constantly ask yourself why you don't stop.
She's also been in a Terry Gilliam movie, which is nerd heroin.
But the reason she comes to the attention of this blog is that she just picked up double first honors in History of Art from Cambridge University this week. This is supposedly the highest possible honor (what, no triple first?) and not many achieve it - especially not nerd-attracting supermodels who manage an active media career at the same time.
Jolly good show, Lily!
