Gisele is #60 on Forbe's Most Powerful Celebrities List 2011 http://www.forbes.com/wealth/celebrities/g...#gallerycontent Her ranks according to Forbe's: Forbes Lists #60 Celebrity 100 * #33 in Money * #89 in TV/Radio * #90 in Press * #68 in Social * #42 in Web #72 Powerful Women

It's another All Gisele issue. She's had many before though, so nothing new but still exciting. Vogue Brasil July 2011 She shot an ed in NY (probably cover too) w/ Demarchelier 3 eds in Brasil by Jacques Dequeker (these sound SO pretty!) http://vogue.globo.com/mundo-vogue/donata-...aus-com-gisele/

nath I don't think they ever meant she was curvy in the literal sense of the word, but for a model she was, at that time. The models who were in style right before Gisele came along, were pale,bony, & unhealthy looking. Opposite of Gisele. I dont like to say Gisele brought curvy models back, but I like to say she brought "healthy" models back. Glowing,Smiling,tanned, full of life type of girls. but curvy sounds like a safer,easier word to have been used for the media. and yes I wish she gains some weight. 10 lbs would be perfect. I think she also freaked out the fashion people because she wasn't "curvy" but she knew how to contort her body to look like she was. That's a great model.

agree sick I don't expect her to look the same as she did when she was in her 20's. I think people forget she is a mom now and in her 30's. hehe. Still looks fab to me. Also I think most were used to seeing her curvier in these last few years. This is more like Gisele's body from 2001-2004 IMO. I know working out makes her feel good, but yeah Gi you are one of the lucky models; you can have that extra piece of cake.

I preferred her older one too. I think she looks fine her booty and legs mainly, but maybe too muscle-y on the top half. I liked her old belly button. but hey she looks phenomenal for a mama.

CNN Interview

I know. Is there anything as a model she hasn't done yet? I don't think so.

Timeline # 1980 Gisele Caroline Bündchen born in the village of Horizontina, in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Her father owns a construction business; her mother works as a bank teller. She will grow up with five sisters—including Patricia, her fraternal twin—and a menagerie of animals, including a rabbit, two dogs, and fourteen cats. # 1993 Due to her unusual height—nearly six feet—the rangy, athletic thirteen-year-old is nicknamed “Oli” (for Olive Oyl), and “Saracura” (a South American bird with long, thin legs) # 1994 Discovered by Elite scouts while she wolfs down a Big Mac at a shopping mall in São Paulo. She is there as part of a modeling course put together for the girls of Horizontina, but only attends because of the promised excursion to the big city—and its amusement park. “They asked if I wanted to be a model, and I was like, ‘Forget it.’ I come from a small village, we don’t read magazines there. I wanted to be a volleyball player or a veterinarian. But in Brazil, people struggle, so I thought, You know what? I should try this,”[13] Gisele will later tell the New York Daily News. Enters Elite’s local model contest and is chosen for the finals in Ibiza, Spain, where she ranks in the top 10. # 1995 Moves to São Paulo, where she rooms with other aspiring models. Attends school and picks up local commercial and editorial jobs on the weekends, though she is frequently rejected for her strong nose. “I kept trying. I was not going to go home empty-handed,” she will later tell Vanity Fair. “But I was hurt and I told my dad, and he said, ‘Gisele, ignore them. People with big noses have big personalities. Little noses mean little personalities.’ And that was it. I didn’t mind it anymore. I said, ‘I am not going to listen to people who make me feel bad.’”[14] Travels to Japan for a three-month stint modeling for catalogs, and pockets enough money to continue pursuing her career. # 1996 Heads north to New York City. Finds work with L’Oréal and Bebe. Walks her first two big shows, Carolina Herrera and Oscar de la Renta. # 1997 Travels to London, where she auditions for 42 shows. September: Gets her big break when chosen for her ability to walk in towering heels—on a slippery runway—for Alexander McQueen’s memorable spring 1998 “rain” ready-to-wear show. Echoing similar accolades for Elle Macpherson a decade earlier, McQueen dubs Gisele “the Body,” immediately boosting her bookings. October: Subsequent trips down the Dolce & Gabbana and Versace runways in Milan cement her rising-star status. # 1998 She poses for Missoni, Chloé, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Gianfranco Ferré, Ralph Lauren, and Versace campaigns. Makes the cover of French Vogue. Cult fashion magazine i-D also puts her on its cover, profiling “A Girl Called Gisele.” # 1999 July: Vogue proclaims “The Return of the Sexy Model” with Gisele in Chloé’s beaded string top on its summer cover, shot by Steven Meisel.

On newsstands, the beaming Brazilian rocks a Swarovski-studded coat and leather pants from Dolce & Gabbana. # 2000 Begins an on-again, off-again relationship with Titanic heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio. Poses amid vegetable crates in a re-creation of Palermo’s la Vucciria market for Dolce & Gabbana’s latest campaign, shot by Steven Meisel.

She launches best-selling flip-flop line, Ipanema; in just three years, sales will top $30 million, with a portion of proceeds going to green causes. “Some people start modeling because they want to be models and they want the parties and the recognition, and then there are people like me. I come from a simple family, and for me getting into modeling was a chance to make money and create a business,”[15] she will later tell Vanity Fair.
