great article about the success of her Ipanema sandals... Gisele’s $7 Flip-Flops Trigger Grendene Surge: Corporate Brazil http://www.bloomberg...ate-brazil.html via giseledaily

so I guess these are from before she went to NY. cuteness overload :wub2: Exclusive: Bikini-Clad Gisele Hits the Beach With Shirtless Tom, Baby Vivian, Jack, and Ben http://www.popsugar....a-Rica-28856075

I guess this is a Gisele Bundchen Brazilian Intimates outtake but new... Nino Muñoz’s opening spreads in SMart Book 2013.

How long has she been with Maybelline ? 20 years? talk about a great partnership!

hmm based on her hair color, I'd guess 1998 or 99. ^ Gisele & Vivian Costa Rica via giseledaily I guess this is a pic from last week, sightings on twitter say her and Tom are in NY. great sign. almost all big mag covers and campaigns are shot there. Hope she's shooting something.

good point Olivia. she hardly shows until about around 5/6 months so I doubt she would be showing this early anyways if she were. #ThrowbackThursday: Gisele Bundchen Nicole Miller NYC

I think it just looks like she's not 100% lost it all and and was caught sticking her tummy out. Some say she looks anorexic and others call her fat. you can't go by what trolls think. (is it weird I like her bum like this? I think its refreshing to see her not obsessively toned and fit and just enjoying herself + family. ) well the selfish fan in me can not bare her being out for another year.

here's some pics in Costa Rica lovevsmodels.com

why are people saying its not Gisele? Its a screen shot so she looks squashed down but its definitely her. http://instagram.com/p/XBQsP4E7NA/

I guess they'e vacationing in Costa Rica. That Brazilian bum is lookin great.

Nope no Prada campaign just walked some shows. I can't believe Vogue Brazil has not had a Gisele,Adriana,Ale cover yet. That is on my wish list. Gisele Bündchen is supporting a campaign that helps needy children throughout Brazil: "even those who have very little can donate, just want to". Cool, right? Watch the video she released---> http://contigo.abril...esabril_contigo

From Cindy's facebook about Gia:

Gisele and Vivian giseledaily

I think you will only hear of well selling covers and bad selling. the mediocre ones won't get mentions. (just as everything safe I guess). The worst part for me is seeing a reality "star" selling well. I guess we can say they have taken the spot formally held by models. I think Kate and Gisele won't sell as good as actresses but there is a reason they get covers over many other models. for models; they can move mags. and of course Gisele overall sells, this is one of her biggest legacies as a model. Many love to argue why her career far surpassed her peers, when she is not even "conventionally beautiful". She's been more hit than miss. come on over 1000 covers in 15 years and we have only heard of 2 not selling well! That's not a bad track record if you ask me. I don't doubt Upton can sell just as Gisele did at that age... Gisele was super popular at age 20 as well. I'd say Gisele's glory days were 1998-2008. She's a semi retired model, mom,charity ambassador,business woman blah blah blah now (not exactly thrilling subjects to the audience young models have ...) I dont think its even fair to compare her to young, new it girls. She sells to a different market now just like Cindy,Linda,Claudia etc. Heidi is more of a tv personality anymore these days. When is the last time she modeled? All her shoots are for Cosmo and Marie Claire promoting her reality tv shows. Project Runway is successful and many Americans get to know her from that each week. If she sells I think its because she falls more under the reality tv star selling in America better than a model can... I think its most fair to categorize models like this: Tyra/Heidi 90s Supermodels/Gisele/Kate VS models/SI models fashion it girls ie; Kate,Karlie,Lara,Joan... I don't think Gi has ever been "the most popular." from what I've seen being her fan, people either love her or hate her, there is no in between (which coincidentally I think has helped her) and Tom's ex baby mama drama did not help at all.

I wasn't slamming Kate. just saying don't see the point of putting models on VF period considering their audience does not care about models (obviously) basically if Le Moss and La Gisele can't sell their covers, no model can. (imo) That was my point. Gisele didn't sell well in 09 and Kate didnt sell well in 2012. which doesn't look good for models on the cover of VF... and actually Gisele's 2007 VF cover was one of their best sellers that year. so who knows. Maybe the month has something to do with which sales best or not? I also think Gisele's hunched over "high fashion" pose on her 2009 cover was "ugly" to your average reader. and yes Im in the camp of knowing why Gisele,Kate and a few others are the go to covergirls for years and years; of course there will be hits and misses along the way but generally they sell or we simply wouldn't see them nabbing all the covers. so agree on the over-usage of the Supermodel word now days. one of my biggest pet peeves. The funniest part is when the said catalog model calls themselves supermodel, when even Cindy Crawford doesn't refer to herself as such. Want a Kate/Gisele shoot too, the last one they did was Gloria Vanderbilt. They did 09 Versace but don't know if they shot together or not. I want a 90s Supermodel (in particular: Cindy,Linda,Claudia,Helena,Stephanie,Christy,Naomi,Kate)+ Gisele Versace campaign sooooo bad. I imagine its quite hard to get all those women together at once though.

Kate Moss Vanity Fair cover was the worst selling of 2012. Vanity Fair readers can clearly give a rats a** about models. http://www.fabsugar....8509749?slide=6 I always wondered why they put models on VF. The typical reader is older, much older,males who mostly care about history and politics.

So why do some models always get reprints and others don't? I always wonder that. Some models have a few but literally every shoot Gisele does gets reprinted like crazy. what is the point of reprints? Another reprint today Magazine Clin d'oeil lovevsmodels.com

Here I was 25! It was a commercial p Ipanema sandal!! A sweet woman! instagram

wow she had so many looks at Valentino. In the House of Style vid she was in every show. Thanks for the nostalgia. Its crazy how well clothes fit on her body. damn.

THE PARTY: Elles by Gilles Bensimon at Sofitel New York launch THE PLACE: Sofitel New York THE DEETS: It’s not every day that iconic women like Zooey Deschanel, Catherine Deneuve, Carla Bruni, Beyonce, and Gisele Bündchen are in one room together. Thanks to the influence and artistic brilliance of Gilles Bensimon, however, exactly that happened at the Sofitel in New York City. To celebrate a selection of distinguished women within the arts and entertainment industry, Bensimon, the former International Creative Director of Elle magazine, curated 25 famous photographs for his Elles by Gilles Bensimon collection. Glam had the honor of watching as Bensimon himself presented the photographs before opening the exhibit to the public, and listen when we say, this is one exhibit you won’t want to miss. Elles by Gilles Bensimon is open through April when the collection will travel on to Sofitel Washington DC, Chicago, and Los Angeles. http://blogs.glam.com/glamchic/2013/03/12/party-report-elles-by-gilles-bensimon-at-sofitel-new-york/

I know its different eras but Gisele still got them from 99 to 2010. but yeah defnitely harder for models now. Sometimes I think a reality star would have a bigger chance than most models would. :yuckky: (sorry for my constant nostalgia of the greatest f*cking modeling era that ever existed, lol...) damn I swear they built their new house for privacy. Since she has moved into that home in LA we get zero pap pics or sightings of her....I think she has enough there to never leave the house.

She's never had campaigns for (of any kind beauty of mainline) Gucci Fendi Prada Alexander McQueen Oscar dela Renta Alberta Ferretti Armani Balmain Blumarine Calvin Klein Max Mara Marc Jocobs Emilio Pucci Tom Ford Vivienne Westwood I'm sure there is more but those are the only bigger brands I could think of. The only ones on my wish list are the first 3. Calvin Klein is out of the question because Francisco Costa doesn't like using Brazilian models in the campaigns. (which he himself is Brazilian,weird) They're probably too sexy for the label which is more about minimal clean slate beauty.

The summer after she graduated from high school, aspiring model Cindy Crawford booked a job with Italian Vogue in Rome. Watch as she recounts how a hairstylist chopped off her ponytail—without her permission—and dyed her hair orange. Find out how this experience taught Cindy to be her own advocate. more videos here: http://www.youtube.com/user/OWN She's seriously the best spokesmodel. I miss when models didn't give you a headache or make you cringe when they speak.
