NUMERO TOKYO #46 MAY 2011 PREVIEW (Gi is really doing the HF thing this year. seeing her in Prada only makes me dream of a campaign :brows: )

the interview translated: You said your son's birth was the best experience of your life. Gisele: The labor lasted 8 hours. It is as if everything had gone in 1 hour. I was there physically but mentally I was somewhere else. I've never felt so strong. I could conquer the world You have lived motherhood as a pure happiness, or as a difficult time Gisele: There were moments of stress. The first month I was not sleeping. I was thinking " Is my child breathless? " And then my mother helped me. It's hard to be a mother. Have you learned something about yourself? Gisele: I know I can do several things at once. My child was born at the right time. I think I've got nothing to prove professionally. Raising a child is the most important thing in the world Do you manage to keep time for you? Gisele: it was not the case the first month. My son has a year now and am trying to find balance. There is a strong bond between us. I know I'll be a good mother. What do you do to stay in shape? Gisele: benjamin runs all the time, I have to follow him everywhere. I do yoga for 10 years, and kung fu when I'm in Boston. My coach is my inspiration. One day I asked him why he always looks happy. He replied "I do what I want to do" and now when I see him I feel happy too Yoga saved my life several times. It makes me calm. I meditate one hour per day. that's why I was calm at the time of delivery. What is your typical day? Gisele: I get up at 5:30. Benjamin eat. We play an hour in his room. when he falls asleep at 9 o'clock, I go do some exercise. Then I come home and I still play with him. We have lunch at 13h and then I work. At 17h the nanny's day ends. I take him to the park. The evening I dined with my husband. Then I read a story to Benjamin and I'm going to bed at 22h. Do you miss Brazil? Yes but I go 5 or 6 times a year. my whole family comes to Boston for my birthday. I am very close to them. The family is important. When do you feel most in harmony with yourself? Gisele: when I am surrounded by nature and I can remove my shoes. I love the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere What makes you laugh the most? Gisele : my son! he is so funny And crying? Gisele: I'm sensitive, I cry easily, especially when it comes to children, such as during the floods in Pakistan. Children and animals can not defend themselves, they are so vulnerables. this is terrible What are the qualities of a good husband? Gisele: Tom's qualities. He's a man of heart, honest. He sees what is good in people and I can trust him. A great quality! You have devoted years of humanitarian work. what causes you care most about? Gisele: Over the past 7 years, it was the environment. SOS Mata Atlantica, Projeto Agua Limp & Plant for the Planet do good work. I am passionate. I want to encourage women because they are the ones who change the world. What advice would you give to girls who dream of becoming models? Each must discover his own talent. everyone has a gift, you just find it. and if a girl does not succeed as a model, she must maintain morale, she will perhaps be a journalist or a great dancer. I wanted to be a singer but I had no talent. It did not matter, I succeeded in another area. What is your best memory model? Gisele: There are so many! I remember once we were in the studio, I did not know they recorded us while we sang. They took a picture of me when I listened to the recording. it was not very pretty, believe me! Your best style advice? Gisele: Wear outfits in which you feel good. And for beauty care? Gisele: Rest. when we did not sleep we do not feel well. This is my number 1 beauty tips. What would you do if you had not become a model? Gisele: No idea! before I get into this profession, I wanted to be volleyball player, but I quickly changed my mind. Maybe I would have entirely devoted to humanitarian. Do you have more time for beach volleyball? Giselle: No, and I lack training. I am a mother, you can not do everything at once As a model, you still have goals to achieve? Gisele: yes I feel I am only beginning. I feel the same as when I left high school. I do this job for 15 years and I learned a lot. But today my priority is my family. I want to take care of my son and give him lots of love Would you have other children? Gisele: at least one. Being a mother and model is sometimes delicate. and I still find the right balance between the two. What are your immediate plans? Gisele: I want to stay socially involved and progress in the spiritual plan. it's the work of a lifetime! we are all connected to something beyond ourselves. and I pray regularly god steflam @ lovevsmodels

thanks sick. I don't love it but its a nice new look for her. Gisele also holds the record for most Numero covers ever, at 9 total. 7 Numero (France) 2 Numero Tokyo

Gisele on Models.com (I think it's all been posted before but, I love their descriptions) The Money Girls: How to ascertain who the top earning models of the industry are. It is not an easy feat, especially because no agency in its right mind is ever going to disclose publicly exactly what its star models earn. But there is an interesting device you can use to get an estimate.You can take a list of the highest paying clients in fashion, weigh the going rates these clients pay for their contracts and campaigns and then apply it against the body of models employed by those clients. Those power clients form a mercifully short list. They are Victoria's Secret (with the "Angel's contracts setting the standard), Ralph Lauren, cosmetics brands like Estee Lauder, Lancome, L'Oreal, Maybelline, Revlon and Cover Girl as well as the many fragrance contracts in the business. Then there are the instances of big money bookings for jewelry companies, endorsement deals for clothing lines and accessories or the rare case of a clothing company (like Calvin Klein) willing to pay a high-six figure sum for the services of a model. This list of clients obviously creates a kind of filter for a certain kind of girl. There are catalogue queens who might argue that they make as much if not more than some of the girls on this list, but the cut-off point we used was that a "Money Girl" by our definition was a former or current editorial girl who converted into a multi-million dollar proposition.

Guess Topher Grace has a celeb crush on Gisele :brows:

Petra did pretty good (not my fav dance, but my fav celeb there, so I still vote for her of course ) I am ready for her to show them legs and do a sexy dance. :brows:

It says they base it on "client list and market impact." not based on personal preference/the company they keep. If that were the case Bar/Brooklyn/Irina/Rosie/Anne would be higher. Its based on sales in the sexy arena. Gisele's sexy work sells like hot-cakes. (She and Adriana have proven this for many years) Once the other girls get more "sexy" work and prove to be a hit, they can/will be ranked higher. I say congrats to Randa at #3, she is obviously making a big impact in the sexy market . Also Miranda has been on hiatus so......(they usually move models way down or completely off if they aren't modeling much anymore. If Miranda moved up to #3 its very probable she has some upcoming work....just look at the positive side.

Numéro Tokyo #46 May 2011

Vivara campaign is for Mother's Day 2011 Gisele w/ her dad. new to me

completely. this really looks like her work from 2002 era. Loving it. I am glad she is stepping back from the sexy bombshell work circa 2005-2009 and earth mother 2010 she does lately, and going back to her roots. She totally pulls off any and ALL looks. It reminds me of Isabel Marant campaign, which she shot in the same weekend

Niki was voted off CA already I wonder what her next venture will be. Would love to see her return to modeling full stop

Yeah I don't like pitting other models up against one another (every model has their own appeal) but Gisele is Gisele. I don't think any new model will ever have her career,power or prestige. They gotta be THE high fashion queen AND THE commercial Superstar, all within 2 years...I haven't seen it yet from anyone since Gisele.....

Love Helena and always a pleasure to see her on the runways (one of the areas where I think she always shined the most!) It seems all of the Supers are kind of laying low recently, not doing much work anymore
