Supermodel Cindy Crawford appeared on a Fashion Week-themed "Wizards" episode back in 2009, playing a model named Bibi Rockford who came to life from a poster in Justin’s room. Alex stole the poster and used a magic copier to animate Bibi, then made her walk in a fashion show that Harper was interning for. Unfortunately, Bibi wanted to play a board game with Justin instead, so it took some convincing to get her to go back to work.
