Unfortunately the only things I see her doing is lame commercials
The one for DirectTV: Porn star wanna be. By her attitude she could say "Please do me on the beach" that will be the same thing. And I don't think she looks sexy/hot/whatever
for the burger: I won't even comment (again) on that one.
And the one for the clothing line: One of the most stupid commercial ever, not even Kate's fault
Supermodel? She is taking the wrong direction in her career if she wants to be one.
Be a good fashion model is not even in her horizon right now... too bad because a year ago she was having evrything to rule the fashion world.
The world does not care about fashion. . . so take supermodel and the fashion industry and separate them. The word Supermodel has been redesigned for the 21st century, but the overall jest of the meaning remains. Kate is branding herself so well that the world is taking notice and remembering her name with the word "model" tacked onto it.
She's selling products like it's no one's business. Causing controversy for just being hot, and people can't get enough of her. Screw the fashion part of it, she doesn't need it. If she stopped "modeling" right this very second and turned to acting she'd still be known as Model-Actress Kate Upton. It might take years for people top stop associating Kate as a model.
Adriana - That hot VS model
Alessandra - That hot VS model
Bar - That hot ex gf of Leo who was on the SI cover
Irina - That hot chick on the SI cover who's dating the super metro sexual football player
Anne V - The girl who was dating the singer guy and did SI
Izabel G - Who? ... isn't she a model?
Isabeli - Wut?
Petra - Tsunami (Ironically enough, she steps away from fashion, is still called a model and is bigger and well known then when she was a model)
Anna BB - Who?
^ These woman aren't branding themselves at all. They're counting on their image and the companies they work for to get them notoriety, and I'm sorry to say it's not working very well. It's taken some of these woman 6+ years to get "famous" and half the population still just refers to them as "that hot model or Oh yeah that blonde who works for VS.. what's her name?!". . . Now Kate totally different story. Kate is set to become a name that damn near everyone in North America knows and talks about, and she's barely started her "career". Hell she's nearly already there.
Now let's look at the original super model . . .
Cindy Crawford a name everyone knew not because of fashion or for the people she walked for . . . that was all secondary. People loved Cindy because she was gossip fodder, she was on everyone's lips for every reason you could come up with, her commercials, movies, music videos, who she was dating, what she was wearing, what she wasn't wearing . . . oh and for the occasional magazine cover (normally it was the mens magazines that got people interested) . . . Doesn't that sound like Kate? Does to me.
The supers were in a time when people really didn't give a shit about fashion till the movie Clueless came about. Everyone was pretty happy wearing flannels, jeans, Doc Martins/Combat Boots, ripped t-shirts and listening to Nirvana . . . The idea of looking at a Versace runway didn't appeal, and if it did most people didn't have access to see the shows lol The PC was very rare then, and people weren't streaming everything. The originals supers did NOT become popular because of "fashion"... they became famous because of everything else they did.
WTF is going on? i don't even have time to write and bam! it's posted!
someone (pretty?) please delete the double post below?
Anyway...
I am certainly not the exception but I loved models before the super models trend. I was already a fan of Cindy in 87/88 way before the poor mortals not interested in fashion(magazines) heard her name and knew who she was (same thing for about 80% of the models I used to like) Now if do not agree at all about what you said about Cindy C or what a super model is, I kind of agree with the rest... BUT! ( ) To me Kate is branding herself the wrong way. I am the first one who wants to see her in mens magazines half naked but what I see lately (the commercials in particular) is just all wrong. Now that's my opinion but she could do so much better than what she is doing now. What's next? Beer commercials? Condoms? To brand on her image is a good thing but to brand just to have her name next to any shitty produce is all wrong. Maybe she doesn't give a damn to be associate with cheesy commercials/brand as long as she is keeping working and I say good for her, why not? Or she just follow bad advices from her entourage? Or is it just me who want to see her doing more stuff like in "love" (was it Love?) magazine? She can buzz on her name by doing the commercial stuff (good ones if possible) but seeing her in beautiful (not even fashion) editorials wouldn't hurt? I am sure Kate can be more versatile than what we see now and North America will have even more to talk about... till next girl
damnit! half an hour for that shit to be posted!!
