Expresso

Fairie, you deserve a medal! Thanks for the pictures!

I like the last pictures. Thanks Theron. She looks so fresh and happy in them. Maybe it's just me, but lately I think she looks a bit haggard.

Who cares if she's a smoker? Seriously, I don't get why people make such a big deal out of it. I know it's bad, blah blah blah, but many habits are. Take the average youngster who gets wasted each weekend. P.s. XiaoShen, who's the girl in your sig? Pretty eyes.

Thanks for the vid and the pictures guys! She looks marvelous! (Hint: can we please stop the Cristiano talk?)

Here is the translated version of the first page. I will translate the others as well when I have the time. All mistakes are mine We arranged to meet in the College Hotel in Amsterdam. Sylvia is an half hour late, but the moment she walks in, my superior Carolien and I have forgotten all about that. Because God, Sylvia is one hell of a beauty. That body, those eyes. Every man present perks up; something is happening . She sits down without ceremony, shrugs out of her coat and puts her bag with make-up, deodorant and underwear (‘You never know what the evening may bring’) next to her. “Sorry,” she says. “I came all the way from Rotterdam by Taxi. I’ve got my own man, he drives me for 80 euros. Cheap huh?” Never once it had been this obvious someone came from Rotterdam. She orders sparkled Rosé, but the hotel doesn’t have it. They do have rose champagne for 15 euros per serving. Doesn’t matter, Syl doesn’t care about the recession. Besides, we’re buying, right? Haha! Kim arrives over an hour late. Car broke down, lost keys, had to go to the gym… It doesn’t matter. We’re about to embark on what is supposed to be an interesting interview about Jackie’s theme: beauty, and even more so: being vain. With 2 friends who earn a living that revolves around these two things, we reckoned this shouldn’t be a problem. First we judged their outfits, because being vain shows first and foremost in that person’s wardrobe. Silvia is wearing tight fitting Seven jeans, with suede knee boots sporting 4 inch heels. “I never walk on flats. It’s a matter of principle.” Her black sweater by Supertrash, bra by Victoria’s secret and the ring around her finger by Ti Sento: a gift from Kim. She’s wearing a lot of makeup, though without it being overly noticeable. Her hair is pulled back so tight it’s practically impossible for one stray hair to escape the iron hold of the hairspray she misted over it. Now Kim. Her face is seemingly void of make-up, she’s wearing an H&M top, sports pant by Björn Borg and Adidas shoes. Her leather jacket is by Goosecraft. ‘I just exercised’, she explains. And then it all starts, the big interview. Sylvia’s quotes are best read with the typical Rotterdam pronunciation in mind. (Unfortunately, my English speaking friends, this will be impossible for you.) What are you two to eachother: colleages, rivals or friends? Kim: “We’re sisters! Though I’m usually the most levelheaded. I have to keep reminding Syl to make sure she doesn’t get out of line.” Sylvia pouts guiltily: “Sometimes we fight. Just now, with the shoot for Jackie. I can never keep it up for long, though. I’ll be all like: awww, Kimmy, please? But she’ll keep ignoring me.” Kim: “Syl will keep trying to talk to me. Then I tell her: stop it Syl, right now I’m pissed with you. I’m very stubborn. But she just keeps looking at me with those damn eyes of hers and then I’m suddenly reminded how much I care about her.” Syvia: “I’m never angry with you.” Kim: “That’s because I never do anything wrong.” Do you fall for the same men? Together: “NO!” Kim: “Sylvia always falls for the bad boys. Though I’ve only had boyfriends that weren’t exactly….And I like boys with a tan. Syvia: “Kim is just a bit of an gangsterbitch and I’m the Barbie.” Kim: “I’m street.” Syvia: “Me too, but with me it’s more like Barbiestreet. When we’re in NY together, kim says: I want to go to Brooklyn. To which I say: But Kim, that’s dangerous! That just makes her more eager to go. “ Kim: “actually we’re very different, but very much alike at the same time. Syl’s favourite number is 3, as it is mine as well.” Sylvia: “We were at the Amster Hotel and she suddenly tells me: Syl, have a number in mind. So I say: 3. She looks at me with those big eyes. Turns out that’s her favorite number as well. Bizarre, isn’t it?” By then, 15 minutes had passed. We went outside to smoke a cigarette, but not before Syvia corrected her make-up and put on some perfume for the second time since the beginning of the interview. She then put something on her lips. Sylvia: “All Dutch women, pay attention: I’m about to reveal my secret! It’s very expensive, but it gives you lovely plump lips. The lip line plumper by La Prairie. It’s a really thick, white silicone like substance and you put it on with your fingers, like this. It fills up the lines in your lip, so you get a sort of plump pink mouth. Seriously, I spend all my money on creams and makeup. When I’m in Switzerland, I easily spend 2000 euros on La Prairie products, all at once. But it’s worth it. Isn’t it, Kim?” Kim: “Yes.” Carolien and I exchange looks knowing we both thought the same thing: give these 2 their own show, for god’s sake. Sports Kim: “I train at Special Sports in Amstelveen with Guy. He works with a lot of famous Dutch people: Lieke van Lexmond, Renate Verbaan, those women. I train almost every day. Cardio for an half hour, 15 minutes of Power Plate and then and hour of boxing. At one point you’re totally wrecked, but you know you HAVE to persist. I love it when that happens. Since I’ve started exercising, I’m much more balanced. I have an outlet for my aggression. I have a temper, but thanks to sports it’s gotten better. Sylvia: “I seriously need to start training again. I did it not so long ago, and felt better immediately. I have a lot of energy –some people ask me if I have ADD, but I don’t. Well, maybe a little. Right, Kim?- but I’m just naturally jittery. Even when I get home. I can’t sit still, ever. So exercise is definitely good for me. You know what it is when you haven’t done it in a while, you get less motivated to start again as time passes. I’m an extremist: if I’m going to start again, I’m going to do it every day, 3 hours in a row.”

Wow, she's ripped. Looking great! Her body reminds me of Keira Knightley. But she should definitely not get any thinner.

Just wanted to bump this because it made me laugh so much. I totally agree with you though. With Adriana less (makeup) is more, which I can't say for many models. Take this pic for example (originally posted by Lilso78) Just a little bit to make her features stand out more. Stunning as hell.

Gorgeous. But I notice a trend in the angry-face pose. I wish she wouldn't. But she's just starting out, so I'm sure she'll find out what works for her

^^Haha, you have a point. But I do get what the OP is trying to say. It's pretty much a disease infecting model threads. If you look at Irina's thread for example; half of it is pretty much about how she looks like Adri. Nataniele's thread is also full of it. Etc. It's too bad because each model/celebrity deserves to be known by themselves, not as that-girl-who-looks-like-Adriana. I think it's valid to ask users to tone down the she-looks-like talk, so threads don't get cluttered by them. Like Rosie's thread is now being cluttered with talk about Transformers 3 (of which there is now a thread here on the same board). Don't get me wrong, it's a huge compliment, but if even a average girl like me can get that compliment, how legit is it?

Janeta Samp

Haha, indeed. You know, I think Rosie is a lot more confident than Megan Fox. Megan always struck me as an insecure girl, inside. Since Rosie has already made a great career for herself, I don't think she'll take any sh!t from Bay. I mean, she's obviously a hard worker since she's made it this far, so that's not going to be a problem. The only problem I can think of is Bay acting like an @ss. But I think that as a model you have to wade through a lot of dirt before you get on dry land, so I'm sure Rosie knows how to handle herself. Megan does not have that kind of experience.

It's pretty annoying, I agree. I mean, just a mention here or there is no problem, but when pages and pages of a model's thread go on and on about how said model looks like Adriana, it gets old really fast. Also, I don't think ANY of those mentioned actually look like Adriana. Like it has been pointed out many times, these days all it takes is light eyes, dark hair and tan skin to be branded "The Next Adriana Lima Twin". It's stupid if you think about it. Does every blonde, lighteyed girl look like Scarlett Johanssen? No. Also, now there are girls who wear contact lenses and dye their hair in order to look like her. And then they post their pics on the net, saying it's all natural. Pathetic. I mean, even I have been told I look like Adriana by my fashion obsessed classmates. Seriously, the Adri lookalike stuff is getting a bit overboard.

Haha, that's a funny story. Well, you must probably be a pretty idiot, because that guy was smiling at you. (I also did this with my phone. But mine is so small, it looks like an mp3 player. I can get away with taking pictures because people don't expect it)

I think VS should learn a bit about the phenomenon called overexposure. I like Candice, but like you I´m getting annoyed because it looks like they could only afford one girl, and hired a couple on the side to fill things up. They should mix it up, give the other models a chance to earn their spot. And I also agree on Adri´s funny faces. I mean, she´s not 14 anymore, she´s a grown woman. She lost that innocent, shy freshness she had, which made those cheeky smiles forgiveable, endearing even. Now it looks like it´s part of an act.

I always thought Transformers was good fun. I mean, if I want profound storytelling, I'll go elsewhere. Heidi Montag is too plastic and too mentally instable. I mean, even Bay, who seems to choose his actresses with his dick as compass is probably turned off by that. I'm happy Rosie got the part. She oozes sex and that's what the movie needs. Also, she's a model, so noone will expect good performances from her. Pretty much all she can do is surprise us, which is a good position to be in, I think. Go Rosie!

^^She looks like that girl from the ring. Love the other contributions though, especially Paulina Klimek

I have to say, in the beginning I thought she was just another overhyped actress. After all the buzz for her for Slumdog Millionaire, I was kinda negative toward her. But really, it's practically impossible to dislike someone who smiles like this: Thanks for the pics everyone and I guess I'll have to see the movie again...

I love this pic! Who is the girl? P.s. am I the only one who thinks this thread is getting a bit cluttered with porn stars and unknowns with breast implants?

I don't see the problem here. He might be a player, but I don't think Iri is as innocent as you all may believe. She knows she's hot and that a lot of men would do just about anything for a night with her. I mean, there has to be a reason she's photographed far more often in lingerie and swimsuits than clothes. So player meets hot supermodel. Sounds like a match made in heaven. I don't think Iri will be easily manipulated. And I don't care how much you guys ridicule him, fact remains that a lot of women find him good looking (myself included). It looks like she's having fun: Thanks for the pics everyone!

Thanks for all the pics everyone! She looks gorgeous as always Here's one I found on the VS website:

To be honest I don't see why there's so much opposition towards Rosie getting that part. I think she's the only woman who can nail this one. No offence to Megan Fox, but she's a microwave compared to Rosie, who could probably burn a hole through the screen by just being there. For Rosie this would be just a detour. A fun sideproject that doesn't interfere, maybe even boosts the main current in her life that is modeling. And why not? There are so many girls out there competing with eachother in the modeling business. She might as well get her face out there. And let's be honest here, she's not the first: Adriana Lima did a short movie with Clive Owen and Mickey Rourke when she was just starting to boom in the modeling business. Alessandra had a short cameo in Casino Royale. Gemma Ward had a big role in an Indie film. I mean, what's the fuss? That's a bit hypocritical, isn't it? So an actress (whatever her acting ability) is inferior to a model and therefore a 'film whore'? Models usually bare a lot more than those B actresses. Models go on ads looking provocative and sexy. Models get their money parading around in lingerie. 15-year olds do artsy almost nude photoshoots in the name of fashion. I mean, I like Rosie, she looks fantastic, but I do not hold her profession in higher regard than acting. Anyway, some eyecandy to balance out my ramble.

Yeah, lucky girl. Great skin, great hair, great everything...And she has Ian Somerhalder as a colleague...god could life be any more perfect?

^^I'm getting the summervibe from that picture. Nice and careless. It gets an 8 because though it's a great picture, for some reason it's not spectacular. Maybe the lighting. I don't know. I'm not an expert. Who's the pretty gal? And here's a piture of a not-so-average car crash

^^Not a big fan of Doutzen, even though she's technically my homegirl. But damn, that hair has volume and her face looks angeletic. Love black and white pictures too, so this is getting a 9.

Wow, great pics! She looks fantastic! Does anyone else think she looks younger these days? After 2005, I thought her looks started to decrease (still gorgeous though) but in these pics she looks like someone pushed the rewind button. Love the dress and make-up, though a wee bit more natural could have been even better. But can't have it all. She looks great. P.s. Marko always has a surprised look on his face, like he still can't believe he married such a gorgeous woman They look happy together
