Now THIS is a pleasant surprise

[Avika]

Not really a surprise, after that Pink event

[Warhol]

Not really a surprise, after that Pink event

you're super right, i was expecting too

[Stormbringer]

Awesome!   

 

Thanks nightclocks!

[LE GATOR]

Ew, they made her do Pink. ):

[Stormbringer]

^ But could she eventually land on mainline?

[LE GATOR]

She's done mainline a couple times before and I thought she looked great. Hopefully they eventually put her back in that. Pink is just a series of boring, repetitive photos that all blend together. I can't get excited about them. 

[Stormbringer]

^ Agreed... But those at least look good enough in my opinion. Hope she does mainline again then.

[elfstone]

^ But could she eventually land on mainline?

Yeah! angel before the end of year

[LE GATOR]

The second one is decent... the first does no favors for that eye issue she has. xD But I don't like the lighting, either.

 

*crawls back under rock to wait for mainline Emily*

[Stormbringer]

Damn... you're right about the eye.

[BAGGOT]

At the moment, PINK includes Emily, Gigi, Rachel, Sara, and occasionally Vita.  (Romee?) This is a STRONG lineup, in which every model could be mainline for VS at any time. Just sayin'.

[elfstone]

^I dont think Emily is part of this line up yet. Plus  Romee is exclusively mainline, VS trying to market her as Candice 2.0 :neo2:

[lostdiadem]

Actually, even if she attended the Pink event, I'm super excited to see her posing for VS pink.

I've been waiting for this day for sooooooo long!

[Candylicious.]

2014 - Interview

It must have been nice to buy a

house.

"I still don’t believe that’s mine! I was

in rent and I said to myself: "I want to

stay here in New York for a while." So

I searched for some apartments with

my mother and I felt so adult. At the

end I found this with a chimney, in an

old building with one bedroom. I still

like to look for a house in New York

and sometimes I think to buy another

one."

It’s one of that condominium that

asks for references?

"Exactly. My mother helped me."

What type is your mother?

"She’s extraordinary. She’s a full time

mom with three of us brothers. She’s

beautiful: blue eyes and grizzled hair.

When I started modeling I brought my

mother with me and all still remember

about her. Fabien Baron (artistic

director, ndr) and the photographer

Patrick Demarchelier always ask about

her. Incredible, right? That’s because

it’s easy to talk with her. She’s funny

(at high school they gave to her the

prize for best clown of the class): she

was a real tomboy!"

Is she a sporty type?

"Both my parents are. They go in

mountain bike, we do it together

when I go found them. They are very

sporty and in shape! You want to say

to them: "C’mon, stop it!". We’ve also

done 11 miles in the woods the last

time that I’ve been there. And they

have almost sixty years."

What work does your father do?

"Now he’s in pension but he was a

firefighter in the Bronx for almost

thirty years. When I was a little girl I

didn’t realize, then I figured out how

much risky his work was. He’s a tough

guy."

What do your siblings think about

your success?

"I think they’re proud but we never

talk about it."

Do you have italian ancestry?

"My last name is italian but my

grandparents were born in New York.

We don’t talk italian but we eat

spaghetti on sundays."

How was your school?

"When I was 14 I went to a little school

catholic private mixed, my parents

chose that school because of the

intense sports program."

You were very sporty?

"Yes, I loved basket, soccer but

especially lacrosse. I put my soul in it.

But when I started modeling I had to

stop: there was no need to risk

punches in the face! Then they told

me that if I wanted to become a full

time model I had to stop acting like a

boy."

It seems that you are more

interested at your shape form

instead of your beauty.

"I always prefered to push my body to

the limit from the perspective of

athletic rather than think: "Oh God,

I’m pretty!". It’s boring. I’ve just

returned from a course at the gym

called Red Carpet Ready. But sooner

or later I’ll be back on the basketball

court. In the meanwhile, I’m doing the

SLT."

What’s SLT?

"It’s a form of Pilates. The name

means Strenghten, Lenghten, Tone. It

exists by three years and I follow this

course twice a week, more some

other course. Sometimes I go running

or I do gym at home."

How do you train yourself?

"I’m obsessed with the DVD of fitness.

I buy them on the Internet, I’ve got a

hundred of those DVD’s. One of them

it’s called "Insanity"! Another is intitled

"Brazilian Butt Lift". So when I am on

trip I keep myself on shape in a little

room."

Is it true that it’s been a family

friend to suggest you to become a

model?

"Yes, a photographer. He gave to me

a number of an agency where I went

with my mother. They looked at me

and said: "We’re going to send you

immediatly to some customer.". I was

wearing some shorts and a top, and

that same day I was engaged from

Ralph Lauren. I couldn’t believe, I was

scared."

How was your first shooting?

"All the people that were there that

day are still my friends, we’re a

family."

Where your job takes you?

"To Los Angeles, Paris, London. Last

week I was in Mexico City, the next

one I am going to Costa Rica; I have

not seen much of Italy, I’ve saw only

Milan and Venice. I’ve been at the

Hawaii, where I shot my first

commercial for Armani. Or in

Switzerland and in Namibia, for Sports

Illustrated."

In Switzerland you were in bikini on

the snow, I think you felt cold…

"I felt more cold in Namibia. In

Switzerland at that altitude the sun

burns. There where a lot of people."

You mean the equipe?

"Not only them. When you shoot

outside there are always a lot of

people that stare at you, I imagine

they think: "Look at her, what is she

doing?"

But the whole troupe supports you,

right?

"Sure. It’s a team work, everything has

to be OK. Sometimes the situation

becomes tiring: you’re cold, you’re

hot, you’re tired, but there’s always

someone that you have connection

with and they help you."

Talk to us about the last video for

Giorgio Armani.

"It was different from the first one

shot in the Hawaii. In the first one I

was really tanned. In this one I have a

bit of make up. It’s the same woman,

but now more transparent and

beautiful."

Wich was the most exciting

experience?

"Without no doubt the spot for

Armani. I wasn’t even 18, I was

terrified and I was so excited. I

learned so much: I was surrounded

by people with a lot of talent like

Fabien Baron, and Acqua di Gioia

brought me so many opportunities

for my career."

You have thrown yourself into this

profession. Are you stressed

sometimes?

"This could happen at anybody and in

any work. If I feel stressed I slow

down, I take care of myself, I read a

book, I go for a run and I calm down.

I call a friend or my mother and I am

ready to go."

Besides your mother, who do you

call?

"Ali Michael, she’s a model but with

the head on her shoulders."

Do you have a role model?

"Besides my mother I’d say Christy

Turlington, she is my muse. I met her

for a spot: they put us together in a

little bus and we started talking. She is

strong, beautiful, she has kids, a

family and she works since the 90’s."

Do you fall in love sometimes?

"It doesn’t happen to me so often,

what kind of love would that be? But

right now I have a boyfriend."

How is he?

"I don’t want to talk about it too much

but he’s a good guy that I met some

months ago. I can say that he’s

american, blond and he’s not inside

the fashion industry. I am really

happy."

So I guess he’s not ugly…

[Laughs] “No, he’s not ugly.”

VS Pink

[Clauds]

I'm glad she is doing VS again but if she gets stuck with Pink for the next three years I'll die a little, she's too old for it o.o

[ILUVAdrianaLima]

How old is she now?
