    Thanks, Sweetandlow, for the call for more pics of Tori ! Thanks for answering her call, Dirrty and Hyperion! I love that pic of Tori surfing from her first site. When you see how athletic she looks in whatever she wears, it probably is the result of riding all those waves for so long! I wonder if she picked up snowboarding while living in the Northeast. She'd be a natch. And those abs and over all muscle tone. . . I especially love how she can go from sexy to soooo sweet in the last two pics posted by Dirrty.

    Everyone can see that this tall, athletic, striking model has made great strides in a short time. It's great to see her in a range of clothing and settings in print and on the runway. The best thing that has happened, however, since I started following her pages here is that all the ugly gossip has died down and Hillary's photographs have spoken for themselves

    Thanks for putting so many great pics o' Tori all in one spot! I've always loved her athletic look and glowing, flawless skin and these show both ! Happy Father's Day all the pops in the world!
  4. I just Googled her and found some amazing pics, each of which makes her look quite different--all beautiful. Pretty remarkable. I was tired of Supermodels.nl so I skipped that though it looks like it had quite a few images. I'm surprised no one here has taken up her cause.
  5. She's not pretty. She's GORGEOUS, fab facial bones and beautiful body :evil: !

    Wowee! Thanks for all those fine fotos of Tori! Sweet and Low said it: face and body. Versatility has been proven long ago. I was in the mall for the first time in ages today, and on one side of the hallway was a much-larger-than-life poster of Tori. PinkCouture posted it in a recent black-and-white photo in which she is wearing a quasi scarf. That was at the Jacob store. Sweetandlow also uses it in her signature. Anyway, I turned literally in the opposite direction and there she was yet again in glorious Technicolor at Ann Taylor Loft inside and out. If this is all old nooz, I apologize. Because of her images at ATL, maybe AT will also see her potential. Seeing her look so amazing in such large images in such an unexpected manner caused me to jump inside with happiness for her recent success. Congrats to Tori and thanks to posters and fans alike !

    Tori has always been more than a swimsuit model ever since those gorgeous Guess? photos when she first started. These photos are proof positive that she can do it all: wear the clothes beautifully, be expressive, etc. I can't wait to see more

    Thanks, Tobyniki, for your efforts on T's and T's fans' behalf! Wow! And, Hyperion, creative while exhausted. Those two are beeyouteeful ! Hope you get some rest. . .to create more art work. Thanks, Bella Donna, for coming to bat for Hyperion till she can rest or maybe you two will have dual creative engine output when she's rested ! Xanessa! I can't believe you mentioned Princess Stephanie. Of course, I had a crush on her magnificent mama bear, so elegant, but so controlled by Prince Ranier! I also had a crush on Steph as she was so beautiful and athletic and despite her crazy lifestyle. I even pulled it up a while ago, but didn't connect it to Tori until I saw her flawless skin and shoulders. Hmmm. Despite the coloring difference, I sorta see it even in her face. Your dad was lucky to meet people like that! AND have them hit on him! Anyway, Happy Dad's Day to your studly dad and all the other papa bears out there !

    Bella Donna, your wallpaper is so artistic. That's sort of a lame or generic adjective, and "creative" doesn't do justice to your handiwork, either. So I will just make up a word as Shakespeare (real name: perhaps unknown) and Lewis Carroll (real name: Charles Dodgson) and Dr. Seuss (real name: Theodor Geisel) and other great authors have, not that I'm even NEAR that category--as everyone knows by now! Your wallpaper is fantabulistic ! There's gotta be a woman author who messed with words, too. Help! Sorry for useless name trivia, but I LOVE ALL useless trivia! Anna Nicole Smith (real name: Vickie Lynn Hogan). Interesting stories behind adidas and Nike! K! I'll stop. Sweetandlow, your pics keep astoudning me! I guess a LOUD thanks to Lady Fatale are in order! Thanks for your creativity, Lady Fatale, and of course, your muse, Tori. There is so much creativity on this site; it's deelish And, Sweetandlow, thanks for articulating your thoughts on Tori. I sometimes feel as though I am repeating, but you relay your thoughts so clearly and sincerely. And apparently, CONVINCINGLY! Thanks for your excellent wordsmithing, though I hate that word! In this age of Iphones and Blackberrys, I can't believe we have an antique scanner issue. And I feel helpless, and it's NOT being on crutches. But it looks like there's some Team Tori Spirit with Tobyniki purchasing the diary and Hyperion doing the scanning. I LOVE it. Thanks in advance for your collective efforts. Whether they look better in print or on line, is my issue; the diary pics REALLY show her pulchritudinous (whoa! haven't seen that since JANE EYRE or something!) aspect and are worth having on this site for ALL of us to SHARE ! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend as the Summer Solstice nears. . . Oh and a fun Friday out if that will do it for ya!

    Large scans indeed! Thanks, Dirrty! Tori looks larger than life ! As I mentioned awhile ago, I first noticed the color, shape, and angle of Tori's amazing eyes. The pics Dirrty just sent in in which she has her hair pulled straight back showcase her awesome orbs, and she looks stunning, like Ursula Andress. Any girl/guy who can pull his/her hair straight back to let the facial features speak has to have a modicum of good looks. Anyway, I read that green eyes are the rarest, and people of Northern and Eastern European descent have them. That's fairly obvious, and I know too many people with them. . . I think Icelanders (mostly of Norwegian descent) have a huge percentage of green-eyed people (around 90%). I don't know how accurate the study was because middle eastern people even Indian people have them fairly commonly. But then all those people (Norwegian (Scandinavian), Middle Eastern, and Indian) are connected by anthropologists and linguists by language (Indo-European) first but also by genes. Of course, as people moved north, eye color got lighter to accomodate for less sun. Although I don't prefer one type of hair color, I always wondered about the mystique or je ne sais quoi about blonde hair. Blondes have more fun; gentlemen prefer blondes; dumb blondes, etc. Any thoughts from Blondes on Bellazon? Having seen those early pics of her surfing with a short, blonde ponytail (on Tori's original website), I assume she's a true blonde. Is she more attractive because of it? I don't know. I read that Northern European women developed the "first" blonde hair to distinguish themselves from the women with whom they competed for men. Men were scarce because they had to hunt, and many perished doing so, leaving many more women than men. Of course, lighter skin and lighter hair came with less light. Tori wouldn't have to compete in any society . I bet men/boys have competed for her plenty; well, her bf friend notwithstanding for argument sake. Many but not most guys prefer blondes. Because blondes have to fight the "dumb blonde" label, they have to be smarter! Whatever the case, I am glad I noticed Tori's rare eyes first and her facial features. She would look good with any color hair, but sunny blonde suits her face, especially when she is laughing or smiling so naturally, and it suits her current bathing suit beauty persona now. How will she wear her hair on MTV?

    Thanks, I Love Jenna, for reminding all of us about these pics! Tori is indeed a bathing beauty. I have been away from the site for a few days and all this new, wonderful stuff has popped up. BZ hasn't been sending me notifications of new posts, either. Probably afeard of my babble. Hyperion, I must say, again, your ode to Pop Art is amazingly creative. Your muse, Andy Warhol, is proud I'm sure! And I guess Tori is a muse to you, too! KEEP IT COMING IF YOU HAVE TIME AND ENERGY! I also just read--old nooz for the rest of youse--that Tori and Bree will be in an MTV Reality show. Talk about increased exposure! I wish them both well and ease in front of "moving" cameras vs still cameras. Talk about the pinacle of modern pop culture! MTV Mamas fo' sho'! As an aside, I saw a comment about Anna Nicole Smith not being worthy of being a GUESS! doll. Just as Paul Marciano picked Tori apparently for her striking and healthy look, he picked Anna Nicole for similar reasons, but of course not the same reasons as they are totally different. I peeked at old Guess! shots of Anna and must say she was stunning, thanks to her eyes and skin just as Tori is. I think she is about Tori's height but of course not as lean. The black and white GUESS! photos of Anna do remind me of Tori's oddly enough, maybe the eyes and hair in a couple similar ones, esp. both black and whites or just "coloring" in general. Certainly, I prefer Tori's chest to Anna's chest even way back then or recently to put it delicately (I keep talking about her in the present tense!), but she is definitely or was at her prime an iconic Guess! girl as someone said, simply gorgeous. Her demise, another story of course. From a marketing point of view, though, I don't know how I'd sell her doll to parents of little girls given her show, weight gain, and untimely death. But people forgive and forget and even pity her. . . Tori's being designated doll status must be quite an accolade for her and a tribute to her "Guess!work." Imagine in just such a short time in this industry and Tori has doll status! AWESOME! Now, Tori, could be a role model as a doll. I hope they stick a surf board in with her doll so the little surfer girls will be inspired if not to surf in, say, the Heartland, but to do something athletic! They should make her an action figure doll: Warrior Princess . Hopefully, Tori will keep going up with MTV and then . . .wherever that takes her !
  12. lancelot479 replied to Lea's post in a topic in Female Fashion Models
    Sounds like a plan. Yeah so I was looking around trying to find other famous pieces of art for inspiration and I found a way to make pop art in Photoshop, so after about an hour I came up with this: And I thought some variations might be nice as well: Wow! Pop art indeed! I haven't read through but assume your awesome sig is a Coke theme, my fave bev. But not diet. And the Warholian image bending of T is equally fab! Thanks for sharing!

    Wowee! So much activity today! First, I have to apologize; I thought all Guess! stores carried the diary. Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner save for one at work where I'd be fired for scanning that. We can't even access our yahoo/hotmail, ESPN, etc. at work, and our emails from the work address are routinely screened for personal content! Not that you asked. Jeez! Even as I write, our company's policy sounds Orwellian/Draconian! Many thanks due: to CAHA for amazing pics of Tori's looking great, poised and happy; I can't even begin to talk about each one. If I did, I would babble too much as I have in the past ! The sets, outfits, etc. are amazing. The children are super cute as the men are handsome . Thanks to Tori herself and Pink for the candids. The one with the "Ryan" tatoo on her wrist blew me away; the script is elegant and subtle. The watermark is a necessity these days! The candids with her friends and her bf are sweet ! Thanks to Tori and Pink again for a glimpse into T's life! I know everyone is eagerly awaiting Tori's new website. When thanking people, someone is invariably missed. Thanks to Sweet and Low for her efforts on many fronts from postings to getting the vote out for Tori! Finally, thanks to everyone for writing in and posting images of Tori!!!

    Happy Belated B-day to T, 2! Earlier today, I had a chance to crutch down Boston's fancy shopping street (Newbury) but didn't see Tom Brady. I did, however, see a girl with a bright red GUESS! bag and remembered the store was about 20-feet ahead. Inside, I was hoping to see a wall-sized, B/W image of Tori taken from that amazing Guess! Series by Ellen Von Unwerth et al, but alas and alack, no such luck . But behind the friendly salesgirl was the GUESS! diary of which someone spoke earlier. Like the SI issue in the grocery store, the diary's print quality made the pics' colors and contrast JUMP out far more than any online image could. My guess for the quality improvement is the paper on which the pics are printed. In anycase, I don't know if they airbrushed them, but they were all excellent, even the non-Tori ones. My fave came early on. She is jumping on a bed. Her skin is GLORIOUS. Her abs are flexed and most important her smile looks radiant and NATURAL; ie she looks like she is having a great time on that shoot, the only important thing . Given the quality and variety of those diary pics, I STILL cannot figure out why she is not all over the store or why she is not getting more exposure elsewhere. The diary re-affirmed what I have seen: a striking, versatile model who can wear anything, be made up in any way, have her hair look great regardless of the style, and compete easily with more experienced models who have been getting more "air time." While I keep an eye on her for covers, I only see actresses replacing models and don't hold out much hope in that arena. Still, I have faith that T and her handlers are doing what they can to keep her career moving as fast as it started !

    I thought SI made a retraction on the fighter bf thing a while ago and that it was meant to read that she does have a bf, though.

    Wowee, SNL! You really should be appointed as T's campaign manager! Tell you what. I have written a number of recommendations for people with whom I work. From your "work" on here that you clearly love, I could write you a rec for FORD. Persistence, persuasiveness, research skills, etc. I guess I should say something about these pics, but I fear I would simply repeat myself. Glowing skin, sensational lateral obliques, cascading hair that I rarely mention as it is so easy to change styles and colors. I know many vegans and veggies are lean so as I've said before maybe she gets her musculature from her healthful diet and her surfing. She must miss the water with all the pavement around her in NYC. As I said this winter, she'd probably transfer easily the surfer skill set to that of snowboarding and now skateboarding in spring ! Thanks !

    There has to be a better way than relying on engmatic Ford! Hmmm. Maybe I will Google her name and click way in or Google other search terms like "Surfer Girl." I have put in an email to a friend who is also a Ford model but no reply. Hmmm. A theme there? Anyway, I was in the bookstore and scanned each cover for T. No luck. I realized again, she could be on Shape or even Town and Country with her patrician look, etc. I did see a GQ with the VS Angels in it. Unfortunately, Ms. Praver was not in the team picture . Boo! I skimmed their bios and some said the dumbest things, but I guess photogenic quality and runway presence help you make the team, not inane comments. They had their team jackets on, sorta cute! But not so much with out the MVP there !

    I was in the supermarket today, and of course, the current Cosmo reminded me of two things: One, time is fleeting as Ms. T's Cosmo cover is now several months old. Second, her cover is still beats what I've seen. I was in the doctor's office yesterday, rife with old magazines. Lo! There was that March Cosmo cover with a relaxed, glowing Tori looking resplendent. While her site features a new pic showcasing her incredible eyes and lips, alas and alack, there is nothing new other than that. Perhaps, Ford is waiting to unveil some terrific news about her. In anycase, I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend! :>)
  19. now it´s perfect Hmmm. Penelope Cruz? Celeb gorgeousness but Michella has Model Gorgeousness: Michella takes the cake. Tori and Darla both have striking eyes, but Tori has more alluring eyes and everything else besides besides Darla's stick figure and could still make a pencil skirt look great without a pencil frame! Tori wins hands down even with pics posted.

    AGREE! : You know how to pick 'em, George! George is on Team T! Hoo Hah!

    Marisa's chest is real. See her work for Perfect 10 magazine and their requirements of models. I have seen the covers of and flipped through Perfect 10. If MM appeared in Perfect 10 at somepoint, she was "natural," I guess. But, as you know, people change their minds at anypoint in their career, and she could have added implants after that appearance. I can't imagine she would go for implants, though. Sorry to be such a nitpicky pain in the a-- ! True, but Marisa's chest size hasn't changed since then. T and M are apples and oranges. As shown by the most recent pics, Tori's frame including her smaller breasts allow clothes to drape very well. The "width" of her shoulders and the narrowness of her waist combined with her height add to are the main aspects of this effect.
  22. lancelot479 replied to Lea's post in a topic in Female Fashion Models
    Yes, indeed! Her angel's wings have become cramped while forced to hide this long ! T is pretty angelic, period, just look at her!

    What is wrong w/ being a masshole??? I do love the baby and the mom too. The mom and I have been great pals since we were 13---we are now both 27 (me) and 26 (her) Sorry, Pink! I read Masshole in its negative connotation. I've only heard it used in an insulting manner to describe those hailing from Massachusetts. So when you described her as being part Georgian and part Masshole, I thought you didn't get along with her and maybe only with the father of her baby but then wondered why you'd be picked to be the godmother! Glad you are all good ! What is more, I'm glad you have been friends for so long. I've found those long-term friends to be more reliable than those one meets more recently, with exceptions of course. One guy friend always introduces us as having known each other since 7th grade!

    Well Zoe's mom is a Georgian-born Masshole, so go figure (Y) Ouch! Masshole. Haven't heard that in a while. But you love the baby, obviously! Yeah, this whole site has been interesting to peek at. Why some models have so many pages, etc. and what looks are popular these days, etc. And of course fan comments good, bad, and ugly! I guess whether T loiters on this site depends on how busy she is, how curious she is, etc. Obviously, my comments show that I think she is an exceptional model for print and runway. There are, however, many of those. If she's remained low key and down to earth as when she started, then I might possibly swoon . The only hint of her personality I could see was her SI vid in she laffs quite naturally and has some playful pics with her tongue out, etc.
