Adriana Lima - Model Crush Monday!


Bringing it back to Brazil this week as we continue our crushes on the Brazilian bombshells ... this week’s supermodel is the stunning Adriana Lima!  We have seen those eyes and that body for twenty years now and no one is getting tired of it or moving on to the next.  35 year old Adriana has become an icon in her time, having walked hundreds of designer runways, appeared in countless campaigns world-wide, and for dozens of international magazine covers.  Adriana has been the spokesperson for Maybelline Cosmetics for seven years and a Victoria’s Secret Angel since 2000 - their longest reigning Angel to date.  


Adriana has as many guy fans as she does women, and for good reason: she is a girls’ girl who inspires women to work out harder and to embrace their inner goddess, all while appearing in record breaking issues of Esquire and GQ.  She has even appeared twice in the legendary Pirelli Calendar, one of those times pregnant.  Her Superbowl ads for Victoria’s Secret, Kia, and Teleflora ranked at the top for number of viewers, with Adriana being the first celebrity to appear in two Superbowl ads in the same year.  


Adriana carried the Olympic torch in Rio, tearing up with pride and exclaiming to the world what an honor is was to be a part of such an epic time in Brazil.   Hosting TV segments along with fellow Angel Alessandra Ambrosio and Ryan Seacrest have kept her front and center these past two weeks, and we can’t get enough of her laugh and flirty nature! 


Adriana has femininity with an edge, eyes to dream about, and an exotic mix that makes us wish we were Brazilian!  Maybe if we work out more, learn to make cat eyes, and practice how to work our curves, all while channeling our inner-carioca…..

Gisele Bundchen - Model Crush Monday!


Brazil is hot on everyone’s radar and not only because of the Rio Olympics.  Over a dozen of the world’s top supermodels have come out of Brazil in the last twenty years, which far exceeds any other nation!  And topping that enviable list is the iconic Gisele Bundchen, who Forbes Magazine declared the top earning model of 2015, at 44 million dollars, and with an overall worth of over 300 million.  


At thirty five years old, Gisele has been at the top of the modeling industry for over twenty-one years.  Now married to Patriot’s quarterback Tom Brady, she is mom to two kids, and going as strong as ever, releasing a giant tome of a book published by Taschen this year aptly called “Gisele”, chronicling her career and showcasing her work with the best photographers of the last two decades, including Mario Testino, Helmut Newton, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, David Sims, and Patrick Demarchelier, who was the first photographer to notice she had something special at age sixteen, when he shot her on location for Harper’s Bazaar.


When Gisele began modeling she was regularly criticized for having a big nose and small eyes, but she was so focused and determined that she decided she would be the most professional, punctual, cheerful model on set, and right away  people started to take notice of her for her strong work ethic.  Even fashion design house Missoni ran an ad they had shot with her with Mario Testino, where her hair was blowing over her face, so as to disguise her nose.  But no one could deny that million-dollar body for long and in short order she was at the pinnacle of the modeling and fashion world, with rarely a break, even when she was pregnant.  Strong work ethic indeed! 


Gisele has proven that a gracious and outgoing personality, and complete professionalism are as crucial in a modeling career as physical appearance.    
She credits her success even more than her incredible body to her determination, professionalism, and positive attitude. 


Gisele has shot countless campaigns and magazine covers and editorials, including Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, David Yurman, Roberto Cavalli, Isabel Marant, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Pantene, and Stuart Weitzman.
