  3. dreamss replied to Neo52285's post in a topic in Adriana Lima
    So I googled her this morning, and look what I found: For the first time the Pirelli Calendar 2013 will show a pregnant woman, Adriana Lima, with a visible baby bump. In 2004 there was a precedent, but no belly in sight. The backstage images of Pirelli calendar 2013, you can see totally exclusive clicking on "Continue" in this article on the issue of Vanity Fair on newsstands Wednesday, July 17. They tell the amazing steering of the Pirelli calendar 2013, from the choice of a photographer, Steve McCurry, who has racked up awards for reporting in conflict areas. They see 11 women protagonists involved in the support of foundations, NGOs and humanitarian projects: will the "calendar of the soul." Rio de Janeiro is the exceptional location of the photographs: from the historic districts such as Santa Teresa to the slums where they live almost a million and half people, the wilderness that persistently invades the habitat of a city symbol of Brazil, a country emergent http://www.vanityfai...refresh_ceseems seems like there are pictures, but I suck at posting pics. I don't know if the source is reliable too.</p>

    her recent editorials are just terrible. I do like her facial expressions here. At least this ed is better than the teen vogue ed.

    Izabel's confidence and that dress is making me weak.
  7. I gets the point when one puts it like this. I honestly sincerely don't give a shit if people hate her...I'd just like a discussion where adriana's name is mentioned to be just a discussion without it being Limafan vs BZ. And she's no Megan Fox, fame wise, definitely not, no current working model is even, Bundchen, that's what I've been saying. Models being pop stars is so passe. CASE CLOSED
  8. ^Yes, and what it is is opinion - why must you persist in making it into fact? It's also hugely dependent on context, as has already been debated here: are you asking US citizens about watching a game (football) that is notoriously more loved outside of that country? Also I'm a GQ subscriber, British edition though, where interestingly Adriana (apart from a multiple-model VS cover for the 2008 show) hasn't graced it's cover - whilst Alessandra, Rosie, and Candice all have had individual ones in recent times. Outside of that VS tip so has Gisele, multiple times, plus other Brit-centric models such as Lara Stone (British husband) and Naomi Campbell. This would seem somewhat bad business sense, what with her being such a sure-fire fly-off-the-shelves winner, no?Anyway - I digress. It's not my intention to fall into that argument... My point is I feel bad in singling Lima fans out, what with sterling members such as MissLimaVzla and cherrybomb being amongst them, but it is always this curious off-shoot - the Limanati - incessantly trying to prove how she is the best. Why does it matter so much to you? If I'm not mistaken, this particular bout of 'Why Lima Is The Best' began with a simple comparison of popularity between Adriana and Miranda and, leaving aside the rights and wrongs of that contretemps, I just wonder where all the riled Miranda fans are to prove why she is more popular? Similarly, as it always seems to, Gisele's name soon came up - but yet again all her fans aren't clogging up a thread about VS to say how she is the ultimate supermodel and more famous than anyone else. Which they could legitimately do. I don't know why stats, percentages and polls are so important to you - but I don't see them so rampantly on any other thread save for Kate Upton's, and at least her fans keep it within the confines of her own thread (and again, she's been mentioned in this discussion too yet her fans aren't banging their war-drums here either). It only seems to be the Limanati that need to show us naysayers how we are wrong by following false idols. And what does it all prove? NOTHING. You can show me popularity contests all you like, with as near to 100% approval ratings as will make you feel safe and secure in your bias beliefs, but Adriana being top of them still isn't going to mean shit to me as I don't really like her. You know the famous Mark Twain line (attributed to Benjamin Disraeli): 'There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics'? That's what all this is - using numbers to force some kind of truth. A nonsense to trumpet opinion as fact. MissLimaVzla put it more succinctly earlier: 'Everyone will believe whatever the hell they want.' And she's right. Nowt you can do to make us see sense I'm afraid - we're a lost cause... U certailny have them cheerleaders at your side. Since post like this is allowed, then ok.Can u please explain to me what u mean about me persisting into making it into facts? I don't understand. Surely u are not talking about what I said about the GQ covers or the the poll, it would be pretty senseless to call those turnng opinions into facts since they are not my opinion. They are factcs, we usually call figures facts, so I don't know what part about that u refuse to ackowledge. And I didn't ask any US citizen about watching a game they don't know much about. I didn't even bring the poll up. America is just one country, if not anything else, the poll only makes Adriana's status outside the US more clear...after all, it's being said time and again that a supermodel is not a supermodel if she is known only in one or two countries. And I just know u are not comparing US and UK GQ. Two very different editions. US is a bigger and more celebrity obsessed nation than UK, it would make sense more if models graced the UK cover than the US. that's it. Adriana has two covers, it's still speaks more volumes than the models with the UK covers, and I've never heard Ale and Candice and co selling those issues like Adriana did to her US covers... numbers speak for themselves. Generally, Adriana fans visit this thread more than Gisele/Miranda/Kate fans -whether there's a debate or not- won't it make sense if they are also the ones posting more if there was a debate. I would think that's simple logic, but your take on the matter is welcome. Regardless of whether Adriana fans are crazy or not, it still doesn't explain why almost everyone dislikes her to a point that not one debate can be made here when her name gets mentioned without everything automatically getting one sided. Used to wonder if it's the fans we dislike or the woman herself, or both (I don't wonder anymore, cause I don't curr). Still, the situation is kinda like, the enemy of my friend is my enemy. I don't give a rat's arse if only 5 people voted on that poll, the fact that they used Adriana's name alone in a country that not US says a lot. I also think u are wildly underestimating how little Adriana fans(me) care about what u think. And implying using numbers to prove something means nothing is just plain BS...numbers are what we have to prove or make studies, saying otherwise is what's bias. U can say statistics are lies and don't prove a thing all u want, that's your bread and butter,.. still doesn't make it true. But hey U got the beautiful cheerleaders so
  9. Savana speaks the truth http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/1-million-bra-500-carats-diamonds-750-grams-18k-gold-article-1.1113137
  10. Pretty sure this flawless sista wasn't comparing Adriana and Gisele's fanbase. all she meant was she can't be famous and recognized as the 90s models without having at least a substantial internet following. The 90s girls really would have had millions of followers/likes. All the celebs that are household names have atleast more than 5 million likes/followers in the respective social networking sites. I'm pretty sure there are countless people who follow Rihanna on twitter, and they're not necessarily fans. Same thing should be applied to Gisele. You can tell the status of a celeb just by simply Googling him or her. That's the power of the internet.And if u remember those Gisele and Miranda polls, can u share? not shading at all, genuinely curious.I think the commercial was shot in August last year. For several days.
  11. lmao, I want her to get it even if they don't photoshop her. It's just time! If not her, Doutzen should make sense...but u never know with VS Miranda looks beautiful, so does Ale. Candice's pictures were shot at least 2 months ago^
  12. lmao, I want her to get it even if they don't photoshop her. It's just time! If not her, Doutzen should make sense...but u never know with VS
  13. I understood u, i guess my comment didn't come out as intended. I wasn't taliking about her looks. I meant her status. Heidi and Tyra are the only 2000s models who have the same recognition as the 90s girl even if they are considered lingerie models. After them, it's Gisele, but really, she isn't as famous as some people think. I've gotten a lot of "Gisele who?" from both europe annd Africa to think differently she's definitely the most famous 2000s girl, but she really isn't known by the average person, it's either u know her name or u know her face. Models generally aren't famous as they once were. Most people don't even know what a supermodel really is, they just throw it around... A vs angel IS a supermodel to majority of the peopleI think everyone here will agree that Gisele is the ish, but the average person don't really know.
  14. ^^ VS really don't care about Ale. If that;s the bra, it's the ugliest yet. That thing can't be worth more than 1 million
  15. Cherrybomb, we know you're a level headed Lima fan and I respected u because u are one of the few people here who can put up a debate/discussion here without making it into a mockery or something like that, but COME ON! There's no other way of putting why/how Adriana sells GQ or how half the men would rather go on a date with her than watch the most watched sports events in the world. It is what it is. U mentioned January. She is famous, I don't watch Mad Men and I know her. And I would remember her if I saw her on a magazine. Most people would. GQ is a popular men's magazine. If Adriana got men to buy the issues with her face on, then she is popular. As Track mentioned, 48% of men would rather go on a date with her. It's pretty obvious that they used her name because she a sex symbol to men. They could have used another name if they thought people are going to google her to know who she is. It's a mere poll, I think most of the men who didn't choose her selected the other option or just moved on, not google her to see how she looks. She's a sex symbol. Had they chosen another model, like Lara stone or Daria for the poll, the result would most probably be different...calling them a suprmodel wouldn't have changed it. If I didn't know Adriana andI had to google her because of a poll, I wouldn't think she's all that. I've always thought the first pictures of her u see when u google her are average at best. Several people told me this. They could've chosen any other model/celeb for the poll, but they know she's the business. The reason and message of the poll is not even Adriana could stop men from watching the game, so obviuosly she is a big deal to many. And I'm sorry, but majority of men don't think Gisele is thee supermodel, I don't even think majority of men know her. Like seroiusly, take it from me, they don't care. To most men, she's a rich famous and attractive supermodel. Many men think Irina is the deal. They don't know how many covers and runway shows Gisele scored. The Kate Uptons are thee supermodels. Tyra, Kate, Heidi are the last ones who are mega famous. Believe it or not. GQ subscribers don't represent all the men in the world, but that poll speaks more volumes. Reality is, Heidi&Tyra are the biggest names VS ever had and probably ever will, then there is Gisele, then Adriana and then the rest. Adriana is considered the girl with the most sex appeal, hence her popularty with men. Gisele although popular with men imo is more of a women's girl due to her flawless fashion career. That's all I have to say. Track, your last post is flawless. How did I not know about that poll?
  16. from VS's twitter. That black girl is hott!
  17. wo this girl has impressive covers.Didn't know magda had vogue italia
  18. From the tweets at twitter, the supermodel cycle is happening. No sign of Candice yet
  19. You will find everything u need to know about models here. We have members who are very good with model ID. Welcome.
  20. I'm seriously hoping this post isn't as crazy as u are. Not saying she's as famous a Kristen Stewart, but saying people know her only by her hair and lip etc. and not her name is ehhh...wrong. Then Americans are living in the 19th century or u need to go out more... You don't get to have two of the most talked about super bowl commercials this year, and be one of the most searched women on the Web if people don't give a fucks about u. I for one knew her name before I started getting interested in models and the industry. Even Miranda is doing her thing these days. I've mentioned in the 'supermodels' thread that only difference between models now and then is hype. These days, every person with a face can be famous.... Again, not saying LIma's some big international phenom. And I've stated that I'm not even that much of a fan...no bias.Not trying to start anything, just how I see things. Preach sista, Preach...don't ever stop.U gotta be careful, tho....u probably didn't read the unwritten law of BZ. U are soon gonna be labeled crazy if u don't stop preaching about Adriana this instant.
  21. Cherry u speak the truth. Gisele is definitely more known in America than the other models. It used to be Heidi but she aint a model anymore. When Gisele became an angel at a time when people actually cared about the angels, and when they had big names like Heidi and Tyra. Most of the angels back then were pretty well known. She also dated few of the most famous american men and did commercials for the likes of Apple. Her fame in the US is undeniable. IMO, in the US, she's known as Tom Brady's wife. Also, I think she like owns Brazil. She could very well run for presidency in that country and win lol.Adriana imo, is not as big as Gisele in the US. That not to say she isn't known. I think she's more of a big deal in Europe. I remember seeing pictures of paparazzi hounding over her in the streets of Italy when she visited there back in 2005(?). She's obviously a celeb in Trukey and a few other countries. I don't think she's more famous than Gisele though
  22. Theres no maybe to it. Both models are more famous than Adriana. And thats not just within the U.S. but internationally as well. Moreover, the list of models more well-known than Adriana includes more than just two names (Heidi Klum, Naomi Campbell, and Tyra are just a few of the names that come to mind). I think the maybe was for Gisele. Heidi and Tyra are not models anymore. Agree about Naomi.

    ...ABOUT TO KILL MY SIS
  25. it's not even like her relationship with adam is making headlines.↲ Anyway, I hope we see older models in the show this year. Last year was filled with newbies. No icons or powerhouses. I hope kk and Isabeli come back this year. Whatever happened to ana bb? She has vanished into thin air.↲ Even though kate upton is young, she would have brought a lot of star power to the show and would be great for ratings.
