Yes, but you're presenting it as the cause, I would argue that Gisele's greater understanding of the English language had as an effect that she was more of a spokesmodel for them, whereas Adriana was limited to "soyez belle et taisez-vous" precisely because her English was crappy.

It is. Not sure how I feel about the tramp stamp, though...

But Adri has been one of VS' main girls for as long as Gisele.

It's comments like that that used to (and still do sometimes) make me very insecure about opening my mouth after I moved countries and suddenly had to speak English 24/7. Never mind the fact that I was speaking a foreign language relatively well - no, what mattered was that I wasn't speaking it perfectly and never have been able to get rid of my damned accent. I am a lot quieter in English company than back home, because of people saying stuff like that to me. It makes me hesitant to open my mouth even when I realize how ridiculous that is. Maybe you find it annoying and just wanted to share, but it can still be kinda hurtful to anyone for whom English is a second language. Sorry, it's just a hang-up of mine! *has issues* On a less off-topic-er note, can't wait to see pics of Marisa and Adri visiting the troops! Dutch accents are quite cute! (Like Doutzen's accent!) I just can't stand the Brazilian accent, for the most part. What strikes me as odd is that Gisele is a lot better than Ale, and Ale is still a lot better than Adriana. You'd think that starting from the same point and having been exposed to English for about the same period of time, their mastery of the language would be more or less the same. Yet it seems that Adriana still struggles with basic grammar, while Gisele seems very comfortable expressing her thoughts in very good English.

I think he was or is also her agent but it is very confusing becouse from one interview to another her answears are chenging I believe he is. He does seem much older than she is...

And only with these protagonists.

Well, Fidel isn't exactly pleased with the presence of a US base on his territory, but there is little he can do about it, because the agreements far precede his emergence.

Qué? You're telling me you've never heard of your Gitmo base?

On the subject of accents, KK doesn't get nearly enough credit for the quality of her English, imho.

Marko seems like a lot more likable guy than the Prince, good for Adriana. And for Marko, of course.

Congratulations on the 'Pool winning, Edmond. And congratulations to everyone on the Evil Empire losing against Werder.

I know plenty of people with great personalities, both men and women, who can't find/keep a mate. And the grand majority of them are below average when it comes to physical beauty. As much as most of us hate to admit it, physical appearance does come at n° 1 in terms of demands for a partner. We don't all actually believe we'll land ourselves a supermodel or a super-stud, but we'll each try to drag the most attractive person possible back to our cave.

Please let it be Shearer! Shearer = no Ingurland at WC 2010 as well.

"A retractable roof that doesn't shut. A £700m field you wouldn't play rugby on. A manager that is rewarded £2m for underperforming. A man-of-the-match award for Frank Lampard. A standing ovation for David Beckham. An FA chief executive who styles himself on a ginger Charlie Chaplin. Just so I'm clear, the problem with English football is that we have too many foreigners in the Premier League?" From today's Fiver.

England: :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: I saw and enjoyed every minute of that game. I had a good feeling about Croatia prior to kick-off, even when the three Amigos (Wright, Hansen and Shearer) were predicting an easy win for Ingurland. "I read in the papers that no Croatian player would start in your team. That's ridiculous. Wake up." - Slaven Bilic, Croatia coach, to the assembled English press after the game. I love you, Slaven Bilic... :heart: :heart:

That's funny because I feel the exact opposite. His style is a bit too rococo for my taste as well...

Elise. She used to take boxing training.

About Kanye: perhaps the Paris gig was something that was harder to get out of.

Iker go to Spurs! Anything that destabilizes the EVIL EMPIRE is good.

All a matter of taste, I guess.

Thanks!

Any chance of the Bruins winning anything this year?

Pretty darn good movie, though. I wonder which VS Angel would score best on the replicant test.
