Expresso

Beauty is such a evasive, subjective thing. My brother is autistic but he looks like young Jim Morrison (including the hair) during a fleeting moment. But because his facial expressions and how he carries himself are usually so different from everyone else, everyone just sees his autism.

I guess you know yourself best Cult, but just beware that ED's are born out of greed in their own twisted way. Less is not always more, in this case. So keep an eye out for yourself, okay? Cool That's what I do. (Well, that's what I call it when people ask me what style, since I've done Karate, Muay Thai, boxing and Krav Maga.) Sorry, OT, but I'm just curious: which style(s) is he trained in?

I don't think Adri is aging badly at all. There's just a difference in makeup and hair, that's all. Some models look smashing with lots of makeup (Candice Swanepoel and Doutzen Kroes for example) but Adri just isn't one of them. Look at recent VS pictures. She has loads of eyeshadow and they put blusher on her, which doesn't suit her skintone at all. She looks best with a bit of a (natural) tan, kohl rimmed eyes and mascara. That's pretty much all she needs. As for hair, the pitch black looks a bit strong now because she's gotten so pale (vampire hype, anyone? Plus she's probably been told to avoid the sun because of health risks and such). But really, anyone who says that she looks bad the way she is now: ....need to get their eyes checked. Seriously, she still gives all the hot college girls a run for their money. I would give away my life savings if I could look like that and I'm 22, the age where lots of you say she was at her peak. Me at my peak is not even close to her at her worst and right now she's definitely NOT at her worst. Not trying to pick a fight here or ignore the fact everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but you know, it actually makes me sad: I hear that sometimes models read these forums and though I have no idea about Adri, the idea of her reading all this nitpicking on her looks....is sad. I'm happy now that I didn't try to model because if this is the scrutiny the girls face on a day to day basis, I'd have to cement my self esteem to keep it from falling to pieces.

Okay guys, here it is: The INSPIRATION: Gia Carangi The COPY: Madonna in her videoclip "Frozen". (Though all you technically had to do was type "Gia Carangi Frozen" in Google and you'd find it in the first link.) Anyone can post the next one.

Hey guys, I just saw this ad on tv: Can anyone ID the models for me? Or atleast the one at 0:26/0:27! Thanks a bunch!

25-30 seems the best age range to me. That's just age wise, so you're still quite young (and hopefully healthy) when your kid comes of age. The problem is that I don't know if it's attainable for me. I'm 22 and I haven't had any luck with boyfriends yet so even though I'm young time flies and you turn 30 in no time, wondering where the hell it went. Also, the whole 20 year olds are much more attractive than 30 year olds, I beg to differ. I have a friend who's 30 and she knocks most 20 y/o's out of the water with her looks. Also, if you keep taking good care of yourself throughout your twenties you won't look all that different when you're 30, except for the faint wrinkle here or there.

Aww, sorry guys I didn't know it was that hard. Um, okay, I'll tell her name and then you'll have to find the accompanying picture: Gia Carangi

My brother is a little over 6 feet. He's younger than me, so he's still growing. That scares me a bit. This used to be my sister's motto right up till she dropped below the infamous 100 lbs. She's out of eating disorder land now, but it took years for her to adjust her mind. Also, to be honest I think that weight at your height would probably make you too thin. For a 16/17 y/o being that thin is normal, but at your age you're supposed to have passed that stage. Also, dropping to that weight also means losing muscle mass, which if I were a guy, I would want to build. Not telling you how you should look ofcourse, but as a gal, I'd rather have my guy at a nice lean 144 lbs than at a skinny 135.

Sorry, good try but not the right answer. I'll give a hint. The inspiration picture has a very well known model in it, called "first supermodel" by some.

Wow she looks great! Better than ScarJo did in the movie. This was the inspiration: Het meisje van Vermeer (a.k.a. the Girl with the pearl earring by Vermeer) Okay, next one! Madonna in her "Frozen" video: FIND THE INSPIRATION

Valeriia has a great face! How old is she? She looks very young

Woah she has abs of steel!

I agree that a bit of a tan would do her good. That said, right now I'm about as pale as she is and I usually have a bit of a tan myself. The reason I don't have one now is because I worked the entire summer and didn't have much time left to get out into the sun. Adri, with motherhood, getting fit and working again probably didn't have much time to get out into the sun either. Sure, we have those beach candids of her. But I need more than one day at the beach to get my tan back. Who knows, maybe it takes a while for her too. Still, she's rediscovering what works for her. For one, she's lessening on the makeup. She's wearing what looks good on her. She stopped doing the weird faces all the time. It's almost as if she looked around to see what the fans say and followed up on it I saved a couple of those new pics on my computer. And I'm usually very picky with which pics I want to have. So for me, she's almost back to looking like how I love. @Sabriana: woah, you met her in real life? I'm so jealous! Gimme the details! *jumps around like an immature kid*

Hmm skincare...when I was a teen I used to not do that at all. Just wash my face and be done with it. I once used one of those anti acne products but they made me break out so bad that even now I have never tried again. Now in the winter my skin gets really dry and it just doesn't look good if I don't moisturize. The problem for me is that there are plenty of products for oily skin, but not many for extremely dry skin, like mine. So I just use pure coconut oil and that seems to get the job done. Another advantage is that it only costs a couple of bucks for an entire jar, which lasts ages. I also put the stuff in my hair a few hours before I wash it. Makes it really shiny without making it greasy. To be honest I rarely buy the official skin products. For example, I make my own face scrub by combining milk, honey and a bit of sugar. It works great and tastes great too when you wash it off, haha Oh and before I post this, I want to make clear that I'm not some pro nature greenfreak hippie who walks around barefoot at minus 20 degrees Celsius. It's just that the professional, expensive stuff just doesn't do it for me.

^^That

She´s looking great lately! Thanks for the pics everyone! Too bad www.natalieportman.com was hacked. I can´t understand what people could gain by crashing a server, ruining 8 months worth of pics.

^^Hmm a bit too much. I mean, I think toned, fit gals are beautiful (Marisa is a good example,) but more isn't always better in my opinion. Are there more pics of this girl that show how she looks from the front? This picture makes her bicep look huge!

She's so gorgeous here! it reminds me so much of her in 2003 I agree. They finally got her makeup right again (as in, they put less on her)

Nothingless you rock

^^She reminds me of Anna Selezneva in that picture.

Ooh you've been bringing in some great new blood lately, youareprincess! I especially like Alisa. Tong Tong Lui also has something special. PS how do you find the time to keep your site updated? Looks like a fulltime job!

Good point. I've worried about that too. It would be very easy to become superficial and egocentric in that world. Sure, there are probably a couple of models who had securely established personalities and were very grounded when they start out and keep their feet on the ground, but for every one of those there are a dozen who do let themselves get sucked in. And I can't say I'm immune to the kind of pressure some of these girls face.

I've said it before and I will say it again: less is more with Adriana. She looks gorgeous with little to no makeup. I like the backstage pics as well, though I wish they hadn't used blusher on her. She doesn't need it. But damn, she still looks superhuman. I mean, her, Ale and Isabeli...all of them had kids, but no stretchmarks, no nothing. She still looks better than 99% of the female population on earth

Wow she is gorgeous! Gah, makes me wanna go back to my überblonde days when I could be found with my head in the sun every day in summer. That's her natural color isn't it? PS Berno I can't help but stare at your sig and I'm a girl!

Well, I admit I am a bit insecure when it comes to my looks and if I get older and my now C cup boobs start to sag a lot (I hope it won't get too bad, but who knows how fast gravity works ) I would consider a lift or something of the sort. Then again, maybe at that age I'll be wise enough to accept myself for who I am. I'm the kind of person who finds something else wrong with myself when I fix something, so I might as well not start at all. For example, I always wanted superlong hair like Paulina Porizkova in Her Alibi (and in shoots). Now that I have my hair touching my hip, I find myself getting annoyed with the few blemishes on my skin (which I totally ignored before) and find myself drinking more water and using masks to clear that up. And probably when that is cleared up I might get irritated by something else, maybe this time something that I can't 'clear up' without resorting to artificial ways. So that's where I draw the line. I try to improve myself through natural ways like exercise, good diet, good care of skin and teeth, but that's it. Look what happened to Megan Fox! Totally gorgeous before (even though she had some forehead lines and acne scars) but now her face is übersmooth thanks to botox and who knows what else, she just looks less pretty than she used to.
