If Rufus Wainwright wasn't making poignant music about feeling helpless, he'd be a supermodel. "It's so damn easy."

Or so he said during an interview last week from New York where he was in town for Fashion Week. In between working the catwalk for designers such as Anna Sui and Perry Ellis, Wainwright picked up the phone to talk about vulnerabilty, college life, and our post- gay world.

"I've gotten much more adulation than I've ever gotten for a record, it's fabulous" he said about his Fashion Week diversions. "But I love music and I'll stay with ft."
