  11. And, they aren't really photographs persay (from what I've read) they are more like photogram or something like that like it shadows and not actual pictures where you see everything. Besides, people in many parts of world have nothing against nudity, I've seen my mother naked more times that I can count. If you grow up thinking its okay you won't have any problems with your body.

  13. Thanks EZ_C for the article couldn't find it. But I did find the celebratedliving one(see below) http://www.celebratedliving.com/tabid/2978...80/default.aspx For some, opportunity knocks. For Heidi Klum, it beats the door down. By Mark Seal Most everyone gets his or her moment, which is either seized or squandered. Heidi Klum’s came via a magazine when she was 17. She was a high school student in the off-the-map German town of Bergisch Gladbach, doing what most kids do — “photography, music, Tiffany stained glass, 15 years of dance,” she says. Then, one lazy afternoon, Klum and a friend were flipping through a magazine called Petra, when her moment leapt off the page. It was an ad for a modeling contest called Model 92, calling for potential contestants to send in entries. Seizing what most might have considered a very slim shot at stardom, Klum sent in a picture of herself on vacation. A few weeks later, the telephone rang in her little town, where she lived with her father, Günther, a cosmetics company executive; her mother, Erna, a hairdresser; and her little brother. “I made it all the way to the finals,” Klum tells me, which involved traveling to Munich to appear on the competition that would air on German TV. “At which point, the viewers of a very popular talk show voted on the final three, and, lucky me, I was chosen. My dad was there, making sure that no one was trying to take advantage of me.” Now, at 33, Heidi Klum has become one of the world’s most famousmodel-turned-actress-turned-entrepreneurs. She is the superstar of Victoria’s Secret (for which she has worn everything from angel wings to a $10 million Millennium Bra on the lingerie company’s TV specials), a perennial cover girl on untold magazine covers (from standard fashion magazines to Sports Illustrated, whose swimsuit issue has been a paean to all things Heidi Klum). Her business ventures include self-designed lines for fine jeweler Mouawad and shoemaker Birkenstock. She has appeared in movies and television (Sex in the City, as herself sharing a catwalk with Sarah Jessica Parker, and HBO’s The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, as bombshell Ursula Andress). She has written a lifestyle book, Heidi Klum’s Body of Knowledge: 8 Rules of Model Behavior, appeared in company advertisements ranging from American Express to Braun (for which her legs were insured for $2 million), and has been honored with her own charity postage stamp (from the Postal Service of Austria) and her own rose (patented by a German grower) . . . all of which led to her current gig as executive producer and host of Bravo’s twice-Emmy-nominated series Project Runway, in its fourth season this summer. This series of accomplishments didn’t occur by accident, but as a collection of moments presented and seized. “I won the contest by accident,” she says of the lark that turned her life around. “When I did become a model, though, it was something I took — and still do — very seriously,” she says. “I was always someone who was trying to make every job count, and to have each experience bring me one step up the ladder. I’ve also always tried to go beyond only modeling, by seeing the big picture of the business and seeing how I can carve out a unique space for myself by doing more and aiming higher than I started with.” Showing Some Awe She is calling from Germany, where she is producing Germany’s Next Topmodel, television’s hit modeling competition based on the show produced and hosted in America by Tyra Banks. And while Klum lives with her husband, the London-born Nigerian/Brazilian rock star Seal, and their three children in Los Angeles — and gets away regularly to their second home in Costa Careyes, Mexico — the city that’s special to her is New York. As soon as she won the modeling contest as a teenager in Germany, she began receiving offers for modeling contracts. But she decided to finish school first, then embark upon a career as a fashion designer. At 20, she succumbed to the call to model, moving to America, where she had previously visited as a wide-eyed kid by Greyhound on a two-week tour with her parents. After living for a while in Miami, she moved to New York, where, as a big, tall, unpolished girl in a sophisticated world of skinny, she set out to become Somebody. “My English wasn’t great and I didn’t know anyone there,” she says. “In the beginning, when I was being sent on castings, I didn’t even realize the difference between east and west on the street grid, until someone finally told me about the Fifth Avenue divide! It took me some time to get used to the city’s speed and noise and the never-ending concrete.” Her first real job was for a Bonne Belle cosmetics campaign. But by 1998, she was on the cover of her first Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and, captivating male readers, the era of Heidi Klum had begun. Very quickly, she was making her television debut on Spin City, playing herself, a supermodel, alongside Michael J. Fox. But it was only the beginning. She says she owes much of her success to her sense of awe. “I think being a foreigner helped me in the States,” she says. “I think it was fun for people to witness my excitement at the newness of it all. Being in America, seeing New York, Las Vegas, Hollywood, Miami, amazing sights like the Grand Canyon and the mountains in Colorado, it was like my eyes were wide open, taking everything in, and I was so clearly happy to be there. At the same time, I guess I lived up to the German reputation, in that people knew that they could rely on me. I think people I worked with respected me for being honest, punctual, and hard-working without complaining.” The more work she got, the more she loved it, she says. “I’m always multitasking,” she told an interviewer for The Sunday Times. “Eating, on the phone, interview, everything all at once. And people wonder how I stay in shape! Sometimes, I have a baby attached to me as well.” She had to work hard and fast, she says, because she knew there was more, beyond modeling, beyond commercials, beyond television and movie cameos, beyond, even, as she says, “doing TV, being in front of the camera, and producing behind, designing my own lines of jewelry, shoes, clothes, candy, perfume, and even writing a book, all while modeling at the same time.” But she didn’t know what it was until, around 2003, she teamed up with Harvey Weinstein, one of the brothers who built Miramax into a major movie studio, to launch Project Runway, which gives aspiring designers a chance to break into the notoriously difficult-to-crack fashion world. Just as the German modeling contest she saw in the magazine had given her a break, now Klum would give fashion designers their break, on national television. She both serves as host and heads a panel of industry luminaries and insiders, including designer Michael Kors and editor Nina Garcia of Elle magazine, to judge the wannabe designers, and, later, mentors the winners. The critics have been kind. “Not even Klum, 33, could have predicted she’d hit the jackpot the way she has with Bravo’s Project Runway,” wrote a reporter in LIFE. “Millions of fans can’t get enough of this rag-trade reality show in which wannabe Stella McCartneys and Zac Posens poke pins in one another’s designs (and backs) — and each week’s loser is dispatched by Heidi’s confidently delivered ‘Auf Wiedersehen.’ ” Not Just Dreaming, But Doing “I don’t only want to dream about things,” Klum has said. “I like to dream, but I like to make things happen.” What was next? Family. “I always had a vision and dream of having my own family,” she says. “That, to me, is the biggest success.” And while she never had a vision of the perfect man, she knew when she met him, even though, she adds, “I can tell you for sure that the picture was certainly not that of an international singer by the name of Seal. So the reality is better than what I could have dreamt.” She met him as she’s done pretty much everything in her life, by chance and good luck. She was having tea at The Mercer hotel in downtown Manhattan with her agent and friend Desiree Gruber, owner of public relations firm Full Picture, and their friend, Guy Oseary, CEO of Maverick Records, when, Desiree says, “Seal arrived in the lobby. He made his way over to say hello to Guy, who then introduced us. Only a short conversation ensued, but we could tell immediately that he was generous of spirit. He made a wonderful first impression. We were struck by his easygoing demeanor. When he walked away, Heidi and I turned to each other and said, ‘Wow! What a nice guy!’ And we laughed at the synchronicity.” “It was very much a matter of the right time at the right place,” says Klum. “I was attracted to him instantly, and I guess he was [attracted to me], too.” So much so that just before Christmas of 2004, after a brief courtship, the rock star chartered a helicopter and flew Klum to Whistler, British Columbia. Landing on a mountaintop, they followed rose petals to a candlelit igloo that Seal had commissioned. Once inside, he pulled out a yellow diamond engagement ring and popped the question. It was a world of difference from the rite of marriage in Klum’s home country, where, she has said, the neighbors come and smash toilets on the street near your house for good luck. Now, they live with their three children in Los Angeles, in a traditional, Tuscan-style home, “with a big garden for our children to play in,” she says. “It is cozy, warm, and colorful — and it feels lived in, like a real home, not a museum; not a big show house where you’re not allowed to touch anything. That wouldn’t work with three young kids, anyway. Our house is mad, in the best way, and beautiful. The best times of my life I have had in our home.” Their kids are paramount, she says, but not at the expense of the love the couple has for each other. “Seal says, ‘You are my number one,’ and that the children come after me,” she told LIFE. “I think that’s important. You have to be happy and functioning and successful in your relationship. The parents have to be number ones to each other in order to give the proper love to their children.” When the family has time to get away, they go to the place where she and Seal were married, Costa Careyes, Mexico, where they now have a home away from home. “Costa Careyes is beautiful, colorful, and quiet,” she says. “It has almost no tourists and when we stay at our home there, we do nothing but relax, eat, and swim. It’s heavenly.” Focusing on Now Being a wife and mother doesn’t seem to have slowed down the business side of Klum’s life. She has accelerated her jewelry line, which she calls “one of my guilty pleasures.” “I love the most extravagant bling, but I also love antiques, flea market junk. I love it all. Everywhere and anywhere I’ve traveled over the last 14 years as a model, I’ve either bought jewelry or have been inspired by ideas to create my own.” While visiting the Duomo in Milan, she spotted a clover motif in the inlay, an “ever-reinventing beautiful sign,” of Klum’s recurring spate of good luck, which, of course, she has incorporated into her jewelry line, Heidi Klum Collection for Mouawad. “I have made over three hundred different pieces of jewelry out of what I call my lucky four-leaf clover, and I have no plans on stopping, so the world better get ready for more and more clovers from me!” Now, she’s back in Germany finishing her second television season, producing and hosting Germany’s Next Topmodel, a contest not too different from the one that changed her life, turning beautiful, yet shy and insecure young women into potential stars. “It goes to show that confidence doesn’t come from simply the physical,” she says. “It brings me back to when I started in modeling and I had no clue how to pose right, talk in front of the camera, walk the runway, or dress appropriately for different occasions. Well, I guess I still don’t, according to the gossip magazines! But surviving and thriving in this business did help me weather any criticism that I’ve gotten over the years and come out on the other end to become a stronger woman. I hope I’m imparting a lot of that to the girls who take a place on Germany’s Next Topmodel.” What’s next? Klum doesn’t know — and says she doesn’t want to know. She is ready to answer every question but one, about where she sees herself 10 years from now. She didn’t feel comfortable even guessing, she says, and it’s not difficult to see why. Because when you’re in the business of seizing opportunity, you never know what lies ahead.
  14. WOW you are on the money. I tried google and found nothing. I wonder if we are going to see these pictures in the US or even the magazine for that matter.
  15. Cool thanks for posting the updates. I wonder if those pictures VS. magazine are new? cause they look familiar...I've never heard of the mag either...
  16. hey..just sending you a shoutout.

  17. Thanks...EZ_c about the people article..yeah I don't know if that's true either.
  18. I found this snipet on a blog. I don't know if Heidi actually said it. So, if someone could confirm if they read the actual article and where its from that would be cool. Asked once how she keeps her sex life hot with singer Seal, she said, "He[seal] knows how to please a woman, he knows how to change the pace, so sometimes it would be very rough, but other times it's passionate love making. I mean he's a singer...it has it's moments, the words he would whisper and the carresses after sex, together it forms something perfect. And it helps he's got an amazing body. So the truth is we keep each other hot cause we're both in lust 24/7. The sex is simply amazing."
  19. Thank you Ez_C for that great article.
