SuperKKModel

Thanks for all the photos! I think I've got to side with Kevork89 on this one....I think it will be difficult for KK to attain that celebrity status that other models-turned-actresses have gained in the past. AND I LIKE IT THAT WAY. Her look is different and Hollywood is all about fitting into the mold IMO. I like thinking of KK as breaking a lot of boundaries when it comes to definitions of beauty and attractiveness...that is one of the reasons she became one of my favorites to begin with. There are features in her face that a lot of people may not appreciate (we've all heard the 'criticisms') but that I absolutely adore. I think she is a due for a makeup contract, some more editorials in cutting edge fashion mags and perhaps some small roles in movies here and there. She doesn't seem like someone who wants to be typecasted into any one category so I'm expecting to see her dip her feet into many opportunities, not just acting. My two cents!

Some older photos of KK I haven't seen before from dailypixnews.com and corbis.com:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAROLINA!!!! Thank you for all your years of beauty and amazing energy, you have made an incredible lasting impression on the fashion industry and I can't wait to see what you have planned for the future! XOXOXOXO I too had a hard time choosing only 1 photo...so here is my fav. candid and editorial photo. (I too Ve.ro.nika appreciate her natural beauty) Love all the photos you all have posted thus far!

Reminder to everyone....FEB 28 (tomorrow) is KK's Birthday!! Remember to post your favourite photo of KK along with your birthday wishes...tough to choose only one, I know ; ) Also, does anyone have a Rex photos account (Vampire?) There are TON of KK photos that have not been posted on this thread, everything from candids of a bird falling on her head on the street, to never-before-seen candids at events to runway. If anyone knows anyone with an account please pm me and I will post the ones that I think we all have not seen before.

Thanks for the beautiful photos Nefe...b&w makes her look so stunning! Heads up to everyone to remember KK's birthday on Feb. 28...maybe on that day us fans can post their favorite KK photo to share with everyone. It will be interesting to see all the variety and looks which have won over our hearts! (Still working on my surprise KK compilation btw..stay tuned!)

Even though I suspected her departure, it is sad to read it is confirmed. Who cares who is signed onto VS now, the best lady has left!!!! HappyC, do you know if she will still do some photos for the VS catalog like I see Izabel and Gisele in randomly?

Thanks for the photos everyone! Ha ha ha...I found this randomly online and thought I would share...(p.s. even bald she is so pretty...unfair!) source: http://www.worth1000.com/contest.asp?conte...p&page=5000

OMG at the Film Awards! She DOES look fantastic...so darn fresh and beautiful! Sigh :heart:

Me again...just wanted to share this blogger's experience with seeing KK in person at a restaurant! http://www.selfabsorbed.me/dinner-with-sid...rolina-kurkova/ Also 2 photos from nymag, celebrityhairstylesmagazine that I've never seen before. p.s. Thanks HappyC for the People photo, I've never seen it before! Also, great selection of candids. I loved how she looked in that blue dress at that event. HEADS UP TO ALL THAT I AM SLOWLY COMPILING A PHOTO COLLECTION OF KK PHOTOS WITH A CERTAIN THEME...LOOK FORWARD TO IT IN THE NEXT LITTLE WHILE I think it will be a nice compilation of photos and I'm not giving away any hints!

VampireHorde THANK YOU for that ed I requested...it's really one of my favorites! Nanda, I have never seen those videos either of KK! She seems so easy to get along with and just so personable and likeable in them...especially the one of her night at the CFDA awards. THANK YOU! I agree with you guys on the KK finale and VS. It's opening old wounds for us KK fans, but if it is officially her last year as an angel she should have gotten the respect she deserves for her years of elevating VS' products. Perhaps she is not known enough to have a farewell hoopla like Tyra or Gisele did, but she DESERVED to be the ravishing red goddess during the finale. Karma is a b*tch though, so KK will rise above in the end, we just know it!

Wow, thanks VampireHorde for catching that shot for us! I can't wait to see more of her in it...even if she is a bad actress and only has a few minutes of airtime! Something is better than nothing in my KK books... So I have a request for you guys if possible (especially the resourceful peeps like PinkCouture, MissLimaViza, Happy Canadian etc.) There was this editorial of KK from a few years back where she is dancing in the dark on this beach. It's back in her younger years and she is wearing different types of summer and sexy dresses while barefoot in the sand. I remember she has her huge smile in many of them and it was a pretty simple photoshoot. I can't seem to find it anywhere and I've looked through pages upon pages from Bellazon and Fashionspot without any luck! Do you guys know what I'm talking about? Thanks SOOOOO Much!

Really Nefertiti?!!! I absolutely love her with bangs!! I think it makes her more look more original, a bit younger and flirtier and puts focus on her smile and face structure. When I have a bit more time I'll search for some photos of her with bangs which I love. Thanks for the photos everyone!

Never seen these before: One is from the most recent VS show at FountaineBleu (I assume just out and about in the hotel), the other is some kind of swimsuit ad. Source: Flickr albums I can't get the Fountainebleu photo to upload so here is the link: Karolina Kurkova Nov 08 Fountainbleu VS

Thanks for the recent photos guys and gals. I'm personally not too impressed with her street style in those photos since I know she can look much more chic, but it's a cold NY night so I can forgive her : ) Hmmm...wondering who the boy is too. Looks like the same guy that was walking with her post-workout in the candid NY street photos I posted a few pages back. If it's her boyfriend, I'm so happy for her! Just to let you all know...I read that the first G.I. Joe movie trailer will be airing during SuperBowl Sunday Feb 1....maybe keep an eye out to see if KK will be in the trailer briefly if at all.

Thanks all for all the photos! I just noticed that there are a TON of new KK pics of her at 2 events: - Snowboarding at Oakley's "Learn to Ride" (snowboarding indoor and outdoor outfits) - T-Mobile G1 Diner at Village at the Yard in Park City, Utah (all black turtlneck outfit) Does anyone have accounts for FilmMagic, Wireimage, Getty Images that can post a few from each of these? She looks really really great in them! THANKS A BUNCH!

I concur with HappyCanadian....reposting photos unintentionally is one thing, but reposting photos knowing that discussion around them has already occurred is another.

KK as a MERMAID!! Found this video on youtube:

Will it eeevvveerrr end?! (Though this has gotten coverage on other media outlets, I think it's horrible to be on Perez....there are so many people who are obsessed with the site and I DO NOT want her name synonymous with these weight issues only !!!! If only the general public was more aware of the amazing campaigns/eds/ads she has done via web outlets like this). Fat Model?

OMG Nefertiti !!!! That sunglasses campaign is ONE OF MY FAVOURITES of KK! Thank you! I just love love love everything about the ad, the concept, the model , the colour, the poses, the hair, the make-up, the shoes...ugh everything!!!

Can I just say that I love those little dimples she has on her lower back like from the VSFS 2007 photo posted on page 282....they're so cute! Found this on vogue.com: ...And Czech model Karolina Kurokova was revealed to have been the highest model earner of 2003, pocketing a total of £3.8 million after taking on Gisele Bundchen's Victoria's Secret contract and posing for the likes of Tommy Hilfiger. She is very lucky to have such a successful career in different modeling fields throughout the years....the majority of models have a season or two of being popular then literally disappear.....now she can choose how she wants to continue her professional life and her many options. I think she has been very smart with her career (though honestly, I would have liked to seen more HF ads and campaigns) and am always reading quotes about how professional and hard-working and clean (i.e. no drugs etc.) she is. She has maintained a great reputation in the industry (aside from that totally false gossipy rumour about the Angie and Brad threesome) and her low key lifestyle has kept her grounded I think.

Look what I came across! New York Street photos from Nov 2/08 from Getty ..... (who is the new 'friend?!') The others I haven't seen before, but the profile shot is recent and I think it has something to do with the company that is representing her for her acting roles (found on googleimages and linked to the site) Enjoy! Oh and Happy New Year!
