Fashion - July 2007

July 19th 2007 06:13

Yes, I am BEAUTIFUL

Adriana Lima: perfection in pulchritude. Yes, I’d argue she’s the most sensuously alluring woman in the world.

Yes, I am FASHION

While she regularly features in the top 5 most desirable models, she just featured at #4 in the world’s richest supermodels. So I thought it about time I gushed about this most stylish and fashionable of modettes. Nothing adoring her slim, but oh-so-fine frame ever looks out of place.

I'm a sucker for pigtails

She is my favourite model hands down, best known as one of the Victoria's Secret Angels, and for a short while as Lenny Kravitz’ fiancé (Jesus H. Christ Lenny, what did you do wrong?!)

Beach biker chic

Born in northern Brazil, on June 12, 1982, the 5'10'', steel blue-eyed beauty is an eclectic mix of French, Portuguese, Native American, and Caribbean heritages, undoubtedly blessed with parents who swam deep and luxuriously in the exotic gene pool of creation.

Anyone for badminton?

Adriana grew up in a very small town, much like her Brazilian co-workers - Gisele Bundchen and Ana Beatriz Barros - only to become one of the new millennium's brightest, most in-demand fashion personalities, a true star.

Giving slim serious definition

A rather startling fact about Adriana is that in four years she's never been to the gym. She puts it down to jeans … er genes. She eats plenty of meat and loves chocolate. Hmmm, I know a few fleshy, serotonin-saturated delights I could whip up for her in the kitchen!

Doin' the native thong thang

Jungle combat grrrl!

Adriana Lima’s modeling career began at a young age. She was only 13 when an agent discovered her at the mall. At 15, she won the Ford Supermodel Of Brazil contest and was placed second in the Ford Supermodel Of The World contest. Shortly after, speaking only broken English, she moved to New York City and signed a contract with Elite Model Management, aged just 16.

Do you wanna know a Secret?...

... I'm an Angel with a wicked mind

Adriana’s first big break came when she appeared high above New York’s Times Square on a Vassarette billboard. She quickly gained worldwide recognition for her work in the GUESS? Wailea , Los Angeles, and Costanoa campaigns. Within a few years, Adriana was a star in the modeling industry. Her early career consisted mostly of fashion editorial work (with early appearances in international editions of Vogue and Marie Claire in 1997/1998), as well as runway work (Christian Lacroix, Valentino, and others).

Hotdiggitydenimdawg!

In 2001 Adriana Lima starred in BMW Films short, The Follow, directed by cinema style icon Wong Kar-Wai. It co-starred actors Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, and Forest Whitaker.
It may not represent fashion per se, but oozes pure style ... here's the short film:

The Nancy Sinatra look

It's all about the pose

“I love photography. Actually, I would love to be a photographer in the future. The "runaway" is a completely different experience. Everything is more alive. Everything has to be right and, as I was telling you before, you have to feel the music, the people, the clothes and the make-up. On it, you must be really strong and feel sure of yourself.”

Even bad hair days don't faze Ms. Lima

Currently Adriana is dating Prince Wenzeslaus of Liechtenstein. She revealed in the April 2006 cover feature of GQ magazine that, per her Catholic beliefs, she was still a virgin (my jaw fell upon the floor when I first read this), explaining:
"Sex is for after marriage. [Men] have to respect that this is my choice. If there's no respect, that means they don't want me."

Lookin' very ready in a hot red teddy!

She’s worked with some of the world's great image-makers: Steven Meisel, Patrick Demarchelier, Peter Lindbergh and Ellen von Unwerth, and appeared in the world’s top magazines: Vogue Italia, Marie Claire, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, and others. She has been profiled on E! Entertainment Television, The Travel Channel, Viva, Extra.

Even those silly designer one pieces look good

Adriana is currently represented by New York's DNA Models.

Uncomfortable in front of the camera? Never!

So what is it exactly about Adriana Lima that hypnotises all who see her? Is it those long slender legs (all the way to heaven), those wonderfully toned thighs, those perfectly shaped real breasts, those naturally plump, but beautifully contoured lips, that ever-so-slightly puggish, but irresistibly cute nose, those soul-searing, diamond almond eyes? It all comes together – and The Devil created woman, not God - in a package that sets her apart from an already overcrowded cat-walk.

Oh so fine and feminine

Adriana Lima … I would kiss the pedestal you stand upon. Instead, like millions of others, I will suffice with relishing your image and style. Thank you for the visual pleasure.

Tell you a dirty secret -- most of the traffic to my blog seems to be image searches for a single Adriana Lima pick I posted a year ago.

Wow what great ankles!

Those BMW films are a great ride, downloaded them all when they first came out. Directors like Guy Ritchie, Ang Lee, John Frankenheimer and Wong Kar Wai with some cool stars and smooth auto stunts. Well worth seeing all of them.

Yea.. I've heard of the Top 5.. it's amazing that 3 out of the 5 models on the list are Brazilians, and they all have their own different looks too! Another interesting fact is how inspiring it is to hear someone that young can actually earn that kind of money nowadays.. hehe

yaviz ... Did you see Miss Universe this year? Most of the top ten finalists were Latino or dark skinned in appearance ... All good in my books.

Apparently so.. I didn't actually watch it on TV at the time, but I did find out about the top ten finalists. And the girls that came second and third were a Brazilian and a Venezuelan.. Hey maybe you can talk about the girl that came first in the Forbes Top 5 list on you next post

...I heard she has like more than 20 different contracts! I wonder how on earth can she juggle that!

Gizelle ... she's kinda "ordinary" looking though. For a supermodel.
