Lawdy, Lawdy! What a great Gorsuch (Fall 2010) pic that highlights Tori's Himalaya-high cheek bones and incredible jawbone. Not to mention her flawless, HEALTHY skin. . . As I have said before, her eyes are definitely striking no matter how you look at them. Let the pic speak my usual thousand words: Hope the short week is going speedily for all! PS Not to patronize but in the interest of useless general and fashion trivia: a Henley collar, worn here by Tori, is named after the famed Henley regatta during which the famed universities of Oxford and Cambridge and plenty other schools from all over the world race in crew shells each year in England. Originally, they wore these collars while rowing for comfort. The blazer made its debut there, too, named for its bright striped colors. Not surprising though as Anglophilia permeates many cultures. Just ask Brooks Brothers and their former tie salesperson, Ralph Lauren known then as Ralph Lipshitz who has created an amazing empire with British-inspired clothes, etc. Things English sell. I think I am heading toward a thousand too quickly.

The Eyes Have It. I have always felt Tori's eyes have had it since that first pic from Outdoor mag when she is in a wet suit and holding a board. They are a unique shape and tilt. I don't know how to describe the "tilt," but it helps me ID her in any shot. Here are a couple from Gorsuch that were probably posted in that Gi-normous Gorsuch posting a bit a go but in these two she her shirts are Cavalli, proving she can not only promote the perfume but the clothes as well: Tori can wear anything for anyone! Go, Tori!

Nope, Lancelot, Francy is full of good, trusty news! That IS a new picture and it's apparently part of an editorial for said fragrance as Francy has seen the ad in the mags already! Isn't that mar-vuhhhhh- lous??? That campaign is a HUGE feather in the cap 'cuz as I said earler, Ms. Moss has always had the bead on that one.......We gotta' get to the newstands and spend $$$$, I guess. (Oh, guess that's the whole point of the ad, that and buy the fragrance! ) Rock it Tori! And,if Tori wears one white tshirt, I bet she wears 100, that and black clothes. You can almost tell who she's hangin' out with based on the colors and styles of her clothes at any particular time, in personal life. I know. I was just guessin' based on memory of the yacht photos and didn't do my homework by going back through these here Tori pages and checkin' fo' sho'! What is super wierd, however, is that I just saw Ms. Moss in those older Cavalli ads by pure coincidence yesterday. Therefore, Snl, she is following in super-famous fashionista footsteps once again (eg Bundchen/True Religion)! Gawd, I like her in any color, too, not just white and black! Maybe she will get the White and Black contract ! I guess a pic of Hil Rhoda for L'Oreal or St. John (following Ms. Jolie at some point) made me feel wistful but hopeful as always that Tori will land a few big ones, too. She and Hil, I think, are sort of in the same model class (as in entering at the same time, being close in age, being classically beautiful, being in SI, etc.). BUT I hate comparing ANY two of the models on these pages as each is so amazing in her right. But being partial to Praver, I really do think she has the all-American (careful use of this expression and every body here has discussed her natural-born killer beauty ad nauseum) appeal for many to deserve more big-name contracts. I must remember, however, she is THE Billabong babe, etc. and has a lot going for her. I just want MO' BETTAH everything for Tori, SnL. Everything, if you know what I mean. Have a great shortened week!

Finally able to log back in! And new Tori intel and new page as far as the eye can see. . . Thanks for hair intel, Cavalli perfume, swimwear, etc.--though I think that pic is from a set when she was on a big white yacht in a white T. But the male model is throwing me off as I think she was with another one in that shoot, but her hair and skin look like they were from that shoot awhile back. Anyhoo. I am excited that her swimwear is creating interest as it is a tough job selling anything still these days. SnL, "visionary" is the perfect word to describe her decision to include bandeau tops in her latest line. Thanks for so much personal information about Tori, the Sunshine Sistah. It really helps make her go from 2D on the printed page or internet image to 3D, filling out some of her personality. THANK YOU, SnL, for staying with these pages. They would be just a tad thinner without your efforts! I hope Tori and her fans, older and new, have a great long weekend or receive a lot of OT if you are working!

Wowee! I just happened to click into Luana's pages to see what a girl with a German last name from Brazil would look like, and boy I found out! Luana's face, of course, is amazing. Her LV editorial with the wooden crates was so fun. It's hard to say in which picture she looked best as she looks great in ALL of them. I loved the bio/interview with her and Nathalie just because you don't get that kind of info on BZ pages. It just makes 2D photos 3D in a way by rounding out the person. I'm glad she had the self-awareness to turn her photos into Way or any modeling agency. Good look to Luana; I am sure she will keep her modeling career going the way she herself wants.

Today, a sun goddess came into my inbox in the form of Tori in Gorsuch. This is fitting because the Summer Solstice is on 21 June, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. She looks so good however close the camera gets (Don't the Ann Taylor folks see these or even my avi?): Tori now wears Gisele Bundchen's True Religion crown. She has also been given the Chopard crown by magnificent modelista, Eva Herzigova (pictured for Chopard below by Jasse Bomb Scans): We know, however, that Tori has been groomed to be the fairest queen of them all since she appeared with no make-up, a wet suit, and a surf board on the cover of OUTDOOR not that long ago. Which fashion crown will this down-to-earth model monarch receive next?

You're the Bestest, SnL. I remember a pic you posted of Tori at Cannes with a Chopard backdrop and that Eva Herzegova has worked for Chopard for quite sometime. The clip you posted mentions Eva, of course an icon in the modeling/fashion world. It seems from the 150 in front of which Tori is standing that she is the model helping Chopard celebrate its 150th anniversary or one of the models. Either way, it is a coup, as you know, for Tori to work with Chopard and to be working with the likes of Eva. I also walked past an Ann Taylor this weekend and saw Hilary Rhoda all over the store and remembered that Tori did some work for Ann Taylor Loft. I know that Tori can look as Ann Taylor as Hill. If she wants to do it, maybe Tori will be Ann Taylor's next poster child with all the sparkle from Chopard diamonds drawing even more attention to her. Thanks again for posting that clip. I always like to see Tori move.

Thanks, SnL, for being the primary Praver pic poster and being such a team player by acknowledging everyone's contributions! Have a great weekend to you, Tori, and all her fans here at BZ! Your comment about visitor count was beautifully written.

Wowee! Tori and Tyson Got Milk! 9 and 1/2 weeks sho' is right, SnL! Saw your post on my tiny Blackberry screen and it almost blew up! Coincidentally, we had just gotten out of IRON MAN 2 with original 9.5 weeks guy Mickey Rourke who pretty much stole the show. I could, however, make out that Tyson inserts an old-timey cassette into the car's player, a fun touch. Thanks for being head's up with this clip of two beautiful folks!

Thanks, SnL, for the fun Bday wishes on. . . page 89! Thanks, too, to el Jefe for posting all the Gorsuch images that show Tori in many lights! I had a pile of Gorsuch daily email pics to post for Tori's Bday, but you saved me a lot of work! Thanks, especially, to Tori for being born so down to earth and beautiful and for being a healthy inspiration to many on BZ's pages and elsewhere. I hope you have had a great birthday and have been able to spend it with whom you wanted and where you wanted.

Thanks, SnL and Vanessaaa, for your new pics of the sun-drenched goddess that is Tori! I still say she has the grace of Grace Kelly, especially in that dress at Cannes. Even in the candid photos, Tori looks so natural as everyone keeps saying. She certainly has a certain je ne sais quoi with whatever she's wearing, however she's posing, and however she's wearing her hair. Tori comes across in those pics as down to earth and fun as I've often said. Thanks again and countdown to Tori's Bday and the 90th and 100th of her BZ pages.

Wowee! Musculature: check. Flawless skin: check. Priceless expressions: check. Tori certainly has a healthy glow. Thanks to all for posting pics of her lithe, sinewy, sexy frame and glamourous and picture-perfect face that would be considered beautiful in any decade or era. The pic with Tori and the male models, especially the one in a dinner jacket make me see Bond girl again for her if she wants it. Stunning and athletic, Tori would always be ahead of 007 as the latest and greatest Bond girl. Her hairstyles are so varied and amazing, Tori could cast for any role. She just needs to be seen to be believed, perhaps at Cannes. Here's to hopin', again, if she wants to make the leap from still to moving pictures! Okay, so GoldenEye was on this weekend with fab fashionistas Famke Janssen and Isabella Scorupo trying to kill and save Bond, respectively, while looking beautiful, long and lean like Tori. Dare I say Tori could give all the Bond girls a run for their money including such iconic ones as Ursula Andress. But if there are parts more to her liking, then all the more power to her. Remember she made the Arby's spot look easy!

Wow! Thanks, Francy Italy. Tori looks so strong and beautiful. The model in the background has a great view! Love your sig, too!

Hot Damn, SnL! Tori is super sexy indeed! The last big mag was CZ Elle. Now Russian Vogue! These are amazing editorials, but I want Elle and Vogue US of A for Tori. I can't wait any longer for Tori to get what she deserves! THANKS AGAIN and congrats to Tori!

As I said below, I am a newbie to the polls, but if there is time, please add Tori Praver to your top ten. After, her showing at Cannes for Chopard, she has the Princess Grace-like je ne sais quoi to move to the top of any list, especially after being known primarily for her bathing suit work. Thanks.

I am a newbie to these polls. Please add Tori Praver to the top ten, please.

AHHHHHHHHHH! I never got email notifications for these posts from you, VampireHorde, or SnL, but I DO NOT CARE because Tori looks so amazing in the vein of Princess Grace. I remember when Eva Herzegova did work for Chopard and looked fab, but Tori is just amazing and easily follows in her footsteps. I love her when she is laughing naturally. Her whole face lights up from eyes to chiclet teeth! She is super cute and super stunnning. Thanks for ALL the sensory over load of Tori with all the posts. I agree that she needs to have a slit somewhere in each dressed to show off her long, strong legs. But there is something about mystery! Okay, maybe now, if she wants to try the model-actress jump, SOMEONE will see her and throw her into a Bond movie first then anything else next!

SnL, you are the honorary chair of the board of the Adore and Promote Tori Club. Thanks for coming to visit so soon; I'm SURE you are welcome any time. Tori looked like she was having fun and Abigail as cute as always . Hope you and Tori and Tori's fans have a great weekend whatever you decide to do!

Hey, Vanessa, thanks for posting that amazing cover from CZ Elle!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG! Thank you soooo much, SnL. Change is hard . We will be your wing people as you make that change . I am glad the summer is filled with plans. I was on a plane to LA with Pete Carroll, just after he stopped coaching the Patriots and began his run as the leader of Trojan football. He was an especially gracious, low-key guy and a perfect personality for coaching college kids--as opposed to highly paid professionals with egos to boot. All right, Type A, I assume you have then bought your mom's day present already! Have a great week!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, SnL, you cannot do that to Tori or US! Puh-lease. (I try never to use the sad emoticons on Tori's pages as she seems so. . . well sunny personality. But this is different.) I dare say Tori's pages will get thinner and thinner without your posts and comments. I know I can't change your mind. But I just got in (0155 on 2 MAY 10) during a water ban in Boston and wrote for the first time (yes, first, I swear!) a post to the Boston Globe reader goobers who whined about having to boil water for a few days when it's fine 99% of the time. Bellazon is the only place I wrote anything and then only on Tori's pages. Then, I flipped over here and read your news. I know what you mean in your paraphrase of that Minnesotan with a scruff of hair. Change. Time. Both keep rolling. I got tired of searching to Google page 10 or more for NEW images of Tori, and I dropped the search ball as you know and most people beat to the new pic-finding punch. Someone with more technical and less babblease has to pick up a heavy ball that you have left for us, a ball that had intel, images, and fun commentary and specific use of emoticon AND amazing sigs/avis ; it also had supportive comments for posters, new members and the like. I am glad, however, that your tastes are changing. That is sorta natch as you have spent so long as Tori promoter. Still, it is good to hear you will always appreciate her and will hopefully visit regularly. If you visit in a month, and the pages and posts aren't moving along, will you consider being a guest Tori consultant position? As they say in some yearbooks: You will "be gone but not forgotten." ps i saw back-to-back Shirley Maclaine in Steel Magnolias, 2 Mules with Sister Sara, and. . . as Coco Chanel (re: your new quotation from CC). Each different roles obviviously amazing performances. I love your new avi, too. The round, blue glasses, light eyes and just plain, cute, cute! Always morphing and movin' and shakin' you are, SnL! Good luck in your next endeavours. I hope finals went smoothly and summer promises something engaging with time to relax and have fun.

I wish people would stop apologizing for reposts! I LOVE reposts because they bring pictures of Tori that I have loved on these pages at some point in the past to the front of my frontal lobe and into the present! I have always loved the pic in which Tori's hair is crazy and she is having fun in front of the candid camera. Now it is refreshed and renewed . I even make it a practice to go back to page 1 of Tori's BZ pages and skim through to see how amazing she was and continues to be. Speaking of going back in Tori's past, I finally went into YOUTUBE and looked at some of her clips. I know. I know. I should have been doing it all along from vids posted from this site. Better late than never! Tori looks so amazing and athletic in her movements. Is there anyway to link her video clips on this site and YOUTUBE into one big montage of Tori? I am still not getting emails notifying me of new posts; I guess I'll just have to check in daily to see what this angelic and grounded model has been up to. I also can't seem to stay logged in as I used to. Hmmm. In anycase, I always love seeing what people put up of Tori PAST and present and thank them for their efforts. And SnL, who has always been Tori's number one fan perhaps, is also one of her best pic posters on the site as everyone knows and as important one of the best Tori intel providers. She can also ID Tori's pics and their original source as though she were Tori's agent at IMG. Thanks, SnL, especially for your steadfast support of Tori and being her PR person extraordinaire!

Gotta love that Elle Italia editorial. Love her pensively reading and laughing so wonderfully while holding the TP!

Whoa! Thanks y'all for the pics from Tori's site of her own swimwear. I sometimes forget to check over there! Tori's interview in Malibu show she's as low key as ever. I'm sure when she's done modeling and traveling, she will definitely make it back home to Maui. I love her quiet determination and her down-to-earth attitude. Thanks to so many people for posting the past few weeks. It really is a Tori treasure trove when checking in!
