Model Moment: Shop Girl
Cintia Dicker, the 19-year-old model with the flame-red mane, may look grown-up on the runway, but when it comes to real life, she's a total teen queen. The giggle Brazilian took us shopping at Urban Outfitters and dished in the aisles about the lush life of a young supe. By: Faran Krentcil
We're not going to... but what if we gave you $100, what would you buy? You're kidding--$100! That's it? Let's do $1,000 and go to Chanel, okay?
Right. Do you shop at Chanel or Urban Outfitters more often? I am at Urban Outfitters all the time. All I buy is clothes. I am no snobby--I like clothes from everywhere. I love H&M.... [Cintia approaches a moss-green dress and checks the price.] It is over $100. If I was playing your game, I could not have it! You want to make me sad!
Which designers do you love? Miu Miu--my favorite thing are their flats, because I love the colors. And Anna Sui--her clothes are so sexy and fun. I've walked in her show many times. My bag is from Canal Street--shh! One of the bookers, I saw hers and I said, "I want the same one." [Cintia spots the overdyed thermals.] People ask how we dress in Brazil. The answer is, everybody has these T-shirts. We wear them in layers, and now people here have started to do that.
What do you buy to prepare yourself for Fashion Week? I don't really shop for it because I don't need anything--they have all the clothes and makeup and food for you backstage. I'm in Brazil for the holidays. I go to the beach, see my friends, see my family, and just rest. Then as soon as I get here, I need to go to fittings, castings--I don't shop. I get sent all over the place, and I don't even know what I'm doing!
You know what you're doing on the runway. The first few times, it wasn't easy. The first runway show I ever did was in Brazil--I was 14. They put me in the highest heels, and I was so scared.
Do you remember your first show? Hmm...no. Sorry! [Cintia grabs a Mary Green Strawberries underwear set.] I bought this last week. It's so cute, so cute!
Do you remember any shows from last season? Boudicca! I was so late, the client was calling, my agency was calling, but I was coming from another show. There was terrible traffic--there was nothing I could do. I was in the cab, and there were tears all down my face. I got to the show and it was, like--hair, makeup, clothes...five minutes, and then they pushed me on.
What's your favorite part of Fashion Week? I love walking the runways and I love going out after the shows. I love to party--in New York I like AER best. I don't care what the music is... I love to dance. Hippity-hop is my favorite.
Hippity-hop? I also like Pearl Jam. [Cintia goes into the store's home decorating section.] My jacket matches the curtains! They made my outfit for this room!
Is it true you want to be a movie star? I want to be an actress so badly! I am on commercials in Brazil, but I want more. Johnny Depp is my favorite. He is so hot. I would do do anything to be in a movie with him. I know he has a wife, but we won't think about that, okay? [Cintia buys Smith's Rosebud Salve.] You can use it on your lips, and it won't come off if you make kisses!
Who's your favorite actress? Cameron Diaz. I want to be in the next Charlie's Angels...I like, um, how do you say it, goofing off? In front of the camera? I could do that, I know.
You're a supermodel goofball. I am silly, that is the word. I'm a Sagittarius, and it's so true--I love attention.
Is Charlie's Angels your favorite? No, it's La Milla Verde, the one with Tom Hanks and the very big prisoner....
The Green Mile? Yes! Yes! I love it. I watch it and just cry and cry. It is the best movie ever

I love her even more now
