although she's wary of making any comparisons. "You see celebrity initiatives that are all about them and they become the brand," she says. "I don't want to do that." Her resistance to branding explains why Lindvall hasn't been as visible during this profes- sional second act as some of her peers, like Cindy Crawford or Heidi Klum. She was offered a chance to be part of the Project Runway empire when she hosted t he All Stars offshoot for L ifet ime back in 2010, but the gig lasted only one season. "I had fun doing Project Runway All Stars, but it really didn't feel like it was on-message to me," she explains. "It felt out of character. I'm so not the girl that's going to judge what somebody's wearing. And it was a big lesson for me. Like, you know what? You don't have to take every opportunity. It's about doing what you love." For Lindvall, that means focusing on "a new type of feminism," which is where the 10,000 goddesses come in. "I want to bring the powerhouse women together," she says. "We are the feminists, we are the nurturers, we're going to make life choices for the family. Men are like, 'I can do this.' Women are like, 'How can we heal this?' I'll start with 10 and tell them to bring 10, and then we'll have 100. So much good will come of that." Does this mean we can crash at her house? "I still want to do retreats for women, yes," she says. In all seriousness, her list of invitees includes teacher, author, and recent Congressional candidate Marianne Williamson as well as Deepak Chopra. It's probably safe to say that Lindvall won't be host- ing a goddess weekend in Las Vegas anytime soon, although she is a huge fan of Cirque du Soleil. "I love splurging," she says. "You get a good deal at a beautiful hotel in Vegas, you stay up super late, let loose, and t hat's why you only stay a few nights." But for the moment, her greatest indulgence is wellness. (I asked, and no, despite California's lax marijuana laws, pot is not grown at the eco-sanctuary.) "I want to create a richness that's not about things but about feeling abun- dance," Lindvall says. "If you do what you love, you will feel really good, and that's what it's all about." V beauté: Bare Minerals Faux Tan Matte ($19). Bare Escentuals, Fashion Show, 702-369-1556; bareescentuals.com.
