Here's a bio of Candice Swanepoel written by @VSCandice (from twitter) GO TO THIS SITE FOR MORE: http://letsbesluts.tumblr.com/aboutcandice Discover More About the World’s Favorite South African Victoria’s Secret Model, Candice Swanepoel STATS: height:1,77m /5’9.5 waist: 60cm /25” hips: 85cm/35” hair: blonde eyes: blue Candice was born in South Africa in a small farming village called Mooi River. She grew up on a dairy and beef farm surrounded by fresh air and beautiful nature. Candice attended an all girls boarding school called St. Annes College. However, her days at school were soon to come to an end as something magical was soon to happen to her. (Picture: Candice Swanepoel as a little girl growing up on her farm in South Africa.) At a young age, Candice had a passion for beauty and fashion. She happened to be discovered at a Durban flea market in South Africa at the age of 15, which is when her dreams of becoming a supermodel would soon become reality. Her world changed in a way she never could have imagined. Kevin Ellise, the model scout who first encountered that one summer day in Durban recalled, “It was like honestly, like a beautiful flamingo walking past my shop. The way she walked past just did it for me.” (Picture: Polaroid of Candice at the age of 16. Taken without makeup and sent directly to an agency. The agency responded in less than 20 minutes wanting Candice there as soon as possible!) Candice was obviously very ambitious and devoted to her career which helped her survive in the modeling industry. Swanepoel has admitted that the modeling industry “is a very lonely place for a young girl. So I threw myself into my career and worked harder than I’d ever worked before.” It didn’t take long for Victoria’s Secret to realize there was something unique and special about her because before anybody knew it, she appeared in the VS Magazine and walked in the fashion show. Candice has said that, “It is a totally different part of the industry being a Victoria’s Secret angel. you have a voice and are able to express yourself and personality. Not only wearing the product but knowing every aspect of it and the company. The people i work with day to day are really and truly like my family, they are nurturing and so supportive, so it was easy for me to blossom amongst them.” And it is without a doubt that Swanepoel in fact, has truly blossomed throughout her career. She is now listed as #10 on the Forbe’s list of top earning models, taking in an impressive $3 million this year. (Picture: Candice in the 2010 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.) One of Candice’s first agents recalls, “What happened with Candice is a once in a lifetime thing. This doesn’t happen every day. Most girls work hard for years before they get their break. Kate Moss got scouted and that was it bang! She was on the cover of every Vogue, doing every show, doing Calvin Klein, doing everything. And that’s how Candice’s career is going. Candice is South Africa’s answer to Kate Moss” Along the way, Candice has met many people and learned a lot from her experiences. She has been in the industry for more than 6 years now and has traveled to some of the world’s most exotic places including, Bahia, Milan, and London. She has also been blessed to do editorials with such high fashion designers such as Mario Testino and Bruce Weber. She also shot the cover of Italian Vogue with Steven Meisel, which, as Swanepoel claims, gave her “a chance to show people diversity, and genuine love for what [she] does.” (Picture: Candice Swanepoel’s Vogue Italia cover shot by Steven Meisel.) Candice may live a glamorous and luxurious life, but in actuality she is a very “simple, hardworking, and loyal person” (Swanepoel). While her job as a model may be hectic and extremely busy at times, she finds herself floating back to reality when spending time with her Brazilian boyfriend, Hermann Nicoli, who also happens to be a model. The couple met in Paris and have been dating for 6 years and counting. (Picture: Candice’s Brazilian boyfriend, Hermann Nicoli, who also is a model.) (Picture: Candice and her boyfriend) Candice hopes to one day be married and have children with a very happy family. She wishes to retire in a beautiful and exotic place in Brazil because the beach is her favorite place to be. (Picture: Candice with her boyfriend and mom, Eileen Swanepoel.) However, it will not be until much later that Candice retires as the height of her career is still yet to come. Every day this beautiful and stunning angel reaches peaks that no other model has ever reached. Swanepoel has said that she knows she is “one in a million who gets to live her dream.” *Credits* Written by: letsbesluts Pictures: All pictures are taken from Google.

From quiet Midlands to top of the world May 22, 2011 1:32 AM | By BIÉNNE HUISMAN *IN PICTURE: Candice with brother Stephen, dad Willem and mom Eileen in Cape Town recently. * She’s gone from being a skinny, barefoot farm girl and a school dropout (with her parents’ blessing) to becoming one of the world’s highest-earning models. Last year, Candice Swanepoel earned $3-million. She was romantically linked to rapper Kanye West and counts Leonardo DiCaprio as a friend. The 22-year-old, who grew up in Mooi River in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, is listed as the 10th-highest-earning model in the world by Forbes. She joins Kate Moss, Heidi Klum and Gisele Bündchen (who topped the list with an annual salary of $45-million) on the publication’s top 10 list of high-earning supermodels. Her proud parents, Eileen and Willem Swanepoel, spoke to the Sunday Times at their home in Somerset West in the Western Cape this week. “The tabloids have linked Candice to Zac Efron and Kanye West, but that is not true. She has met them, but they haven’t dated,” said her mother. The Swanepoels moved from a Mooi River dairy farm to the Cape in 2008. Pictures of Candice and her brother, Stephen, a professional golfer, line the walls of their home. “As a young girl, she was teased for being so tall and thin,” said Eileen, adding that whenever she visited her daughter abroad, she always carried biltong for her. Candice’s skinny frame sparked a heated debate in tabloids this year. “She called me and said, ‘Mom, I’ve been working really hard and lost a few kilos. There’s going to be some bad publicity, but just know that I’m fine.’” A scout “discovered” her at a Durban flea market when she was 15 . She left school two years later. By 19, she had moved into her own New York penthouse. In 2007, she was chosen as an ambassador for Victoria’s Secret and, in February this year, a front-page shoot for Italian Vogue catapulted her into the fashion limelight . “She’s met Heidi Klum,” said her mother. “They’ve worked together. When I was there last, I also met Seal (Klum’s musician husband) and the boys from (rock band) Kings of Leon.” Her father said she initially would call him for financial advice, but she now had a financial manager. He said that, looking back, it had been the right decision to let their daughter leave school. “When this whole thing exploded, it was a difficult decision to let her leave school, as we value education highly. The only sad thing is that we don’t get to see her often.” Candice is to visit her family in August. Eileen said her well-heeled daughter shared her good fortune - and stilettos - with her . “W e wear the same size shoe, so you can just imagine the shoes she brings me. The last was a pair of Louboutins!”

In contrast to what most of you have said that Candice's dress was hideous.. I actually kind of like it. It's different. She always wears the same exact type of dress every time: an above mid-thigh dress. Which I don't mind of course because she has the sexiest legs in the entire world. So, no complaints there. But, obviously Candice couldn't handle the longer dress because she couldn't stop pulling it up trying to show off her legs. And naturally, I would do the same if I were her.. why wouldn't you show off your legs if your listed as one of the hottest women in the world? But I do wish she hadn't pulled it up so much..

Wow she looked amazing. Wish I could have been there. I want to meet her someday!
