  1. 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.
  2. That's true! Particpation percentage gets noticed! I finally took a look at Marissa Miller's site. I will be careful not to slam because I hate it when people slam other models when trying to promote the one whom they like. I saw one pic where her hair looked like T's. Of course, hair doesn't really count because you can make it look anywhich way. I saw one in which she had her hair pulled straight back bringing out beautiful cheek bones and jawbone. She looked quite good, actually, even striking. She also looked good in the clip in which she is walking a wet runway. In every other of her 125-page section in Bellazon, however, she pales in comparsion to T for the following pretty objective subjective areas: 1. eyes: bland, uninteresting 2. lips. simply there 3. nothing against freckles but her skin seemed blotchy. could be sun on pale skin but NOTHING like that of the glowing goddess on these pages. 4. body. some muscletone. hmmm. chest. fake? No pic in which one can really tell but thought so. stomach: flat but no tone. I guess I was surprised that she had 125 pages when I found so many pics that were uninteresting and some that were simply not flattering to put it as delicately as possible. What is more, none of her pics moved me aesthetically as any one of T's can. Trying sincerely hard to be super objective otherwise comparison is useless. Unfortunately, as a guy who has been in lockerrooms and lockerroom talk his whole life, 97% of heterosexual men seem to prefer larger breasts so I can see why she might be more popular than T among men. Maybe women who equate breast size with sexiness/womanliness may be fans of hers, too. We T fans, however, have more refined tastes, I guess! As I've said, T may not have the marketing help that M has, perhaps because of the breast issue. But it seems to me small breasts on a runway model have never been a negative factor as there are so many. In short, I was uninspired by M's pics even to make a spirited comparison to T above.
  3. 1. PINK: If I were FORD, I would skim daily each Google reference for her to see what's going on with her photos/image/fans/foes' thoughts. She may Google herself once in awhile out of curiosity. I know I did when playing a pro sport. But my agent also kept tabs for practical purposes. Maybe you have some inside intel. 2. MESMEL: I love ending on the same page in ANY relationship, even on this site. I wrecked my wrist and ankle and have had to go to a large city hospital in Boston each day last week and this week. Not only have people been amazing while I'm on crutches carrying stuff and opening doors, there have been innumerable beautiful people: patients, docs, nurses, etc. I mean truly eye-catching. I have been amazed, esp. at the variety of beauty (Afro-centric, S/E Asian, European). And model beauty, while different and often not recognizable in person as I said earlier, is so remarkable in countless ways as well. Too much beauty around to quibble about who is prettiest or handsomest . I wonder about my and some people's fascination with beauty. I guess for me it's sort of like some heavenly artist has created a masterpiece. Peace to you, M. 3. SWEETANDLOW: That photograph on your reply in which T is wearing oversized frames, shows her exquisite Cupid's Bow. Whoa! Skin. Gawd! I haven't touched on her hair because it's so easy for any model to change color/style, etc. and look completely different. Sorta like Jennifer Garner in ALIAS when she threw on, say, a short red wig .
  4. I've always Loved the name Zoe since reading JD Salinger's Franny and Zooey . Congratulations! "Abigail Bradford" is also the name of a descendent of Governer William Bradford, first Governer of Massachusetts Bay Colony, the original Massachusetts. FYI.
  5. While I have some connections to the fashion world, I haven't kept up with it fully. As a result, I didn't know what Doutzen Kroes even looked like till now thanks to her unnofficial webiste, which is quite content-rich, by the way, and quite easy to navigate. Again, I wish Tori had something like that up and running by now. Even the original one she had was especially limited in scope. In anycase, I agree that Doutzen is similar to Tori in the lip department,both soft 'n' sexy or pouty. Objectively as possible in a subjective industry, Tori outshines Doutzen in the following ways: --Tori's eyes as I wrote yesterday are more striking because of their color, shape, and "angle." Her Guess portrait may show them best. --Tori's frame and musculature that I also mentioned yesterday show more shape over all yet retain the angles (eg shoulder width to narrow waist) that in turn allow clothes to drape more effectively on her for runway and photo work. --Tori's face is interesting because her cheekbones are sky high. There are more angles to allow her to take a good photograph. While Doutzen's site showed MANY photos and showed her in a beautiful light (eg SCAPA portrait), she didn't stand out TO ME simply because her face didn't have photo-catching aspects and her body had no tone whatsoever. Still, she is very beautiful and obviously is doing well in the industry. And she wears clothes well, too. I actually hope Tori doesn't check these sites and my responses as she might think I'm an obsessed, freako stalker or something for coming to her defense this evening and promoting her last night.
  6. The the thing on Gisele leaving is on boston.com. Look all the way down on the left home page for "Who is the next Gisele"? http://www.boston.com/yourlife/fashion/gal...0507_newgisele/ At the bottom of the page to which the link above opens, click on the link that says next top model and that will have the page on Tori. It is not an article really just a box on this whole Gisele, VS thing. At the end there is a collage of models who could be the next VS person. The pic of Tori ironically I feel is one of those in which she is not relaxed and her smile suffers. It is at a press conference. Many other models are actual portfolio pics so she is at a disadvantage BUT VS will be looking at her portfolio not this dumb survey. Still, they should see that her CUTE-to-come-hither pics will be perfect for the brand and that her smile is as killer as her eyes when the shot is right. Besides, she has great teeth ! As far as Ford goes, I don't know what is going on even with some connections there. It is the oldest agency, I think (1946?) and most famous perhaps for its cast of model characters and model-turned celebrities from Anderson Cooper to Elaine Irwin to Kirsten Dunst, ETC! But this Surfer Girl, objectively speaking, is a gold mine if you even just look at one Guess photograph. And even if you look several only Guess you get her huge range (and doesn't really incl. all-american). Because this is more babble, I'm not even going to her other shoots. In short, if I were Ford, I would have that complete site up and running FOUR WEEKS AGO and have her lined up at Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren (because she can EASILY pull off the patrician look) and any other appropriate designers, ANY hair product for her Pantene-ProV hair, etc. And of course a lucrative cosmetics contract would be the perfect stability-producing move for her fledgling career. While Guess Girl is Great, no one really sees or even knows that. She needs something that ordinary people see on a billboard coming home from work and say oh, that's that Tori. I don't even feel her manager is on the ball or how much she knows or help she herself has because she should be so much more visible. Granted celebs have taken many fashion-related contracts from models. Nevertheless, there is still some more room for some one as versatile as Tori. I guess one assumes what Ford knows what its doing. But for her sake, while her star is bright, I would get her out there, especially with her fast start with Guess.
  7. People asked a while ago what happened to Tori Praver and VS. Yesterday, Boston.com had a photo box of Gisele Bundchen and reported she was walking away from VS because her contract was not high enough. Clicking to the next page showed Tori Praver as the heir/ess apparent. But all of you must be way ahead of me on this info. The same photo album had a number of models who may vie for Gisele's spot. Of course, I hope Tori lands the contract as she would lend her toned, athletic (non-waif) sexiness to the VS brand . Her lingerie/swimsuit shoots should be a no brainer for VS. In that article and on this site, people have questioned her supermodelness, but her striking green, beautifully shaped and "angled" eyes often have an incredible intensity and her equally expressive mouth should set her apart from her peers/colleagues. She has the height, glowing skin and high cheekbones requiste of a supermodel. Her versatility should also help her carry VS's international brand though I read on this site some people think she looks only all-American, etc. Her smile sometimes looks tense in candids but great when relaxed. She's still pretty new so give her a chance. Ford should get on her marketing ball, starting with Tori's down-for-construction website. I think it's been down for weeks and largely not updated prior to that for months. Sorry just babble and no pics but its my first post after peek at this site for a while . Good luck to Tori and Happy Mom's Day to your respective moms ! I should say Boston is infatuated with Gisele because of the Tom Brady link. It's interesting that Tom just took a pay cut to bring a top player to his team (so NFL salary cap could be met) and Gisele asked for mo' money.
