Alright, here's a little game

There's the same on LVSM and on TFS

Ok, so you name a model whose appeal you don't get, who's successful and you can't understand why... And a member is gonna try to convince you on this model's beauty

I start! Convince me on Anja Rubik's appeal, seriously, I tried to like her, but I can't

I also do not think anything special

She looks the same without makeup (the relevance of which somewhat depends on you liking how she looks in general to some degree of course ...but a lot of models can't say the same) and she looks like she has a peaceful, laid back state of mind, but...nothing against her, she's just not for me, but maybe Berno can help you . Even though I usually say if you don't like ox tail you just don't like ox tail but with things that are interpreted on the subjective level such as art and beauty it is possible to have a change of heart, so interresting game .

Hm, I must admit I didn't like Anja much when i first start seeing her around, but she grew on me alot. I can't say specifically what it was that attracted me but like Joe said, she seems very peaceful and gentle But yeah definitely she is an acquired taste, especially among this forum, which is more commercially based, i think you'd appreciate her much more if you a very fashion-minded person because she's a great model

Wow, well Berno, this is probably the first pic of Anja that I like

Thanks!

Great points Berno and cool the thread's great lilso ! I guess since it has more practical use than just another avenue to diss people . I guess I'll go next. If someone can help me with Kemp Muhl that would be good . I love the quiet aggression she has in her work and that pink elephant gif is one of my fav gifs ever, but those are intangibles of course so...yeah if anyone wants to take a stab ...

Oh, well, I'm glad you asked about Kemp cause I think she looks gorgeous!

First f all, what I adore in Kemp it's def her face. She has such aa childish look, she looks innocent, and those lips... Man those lips...

Plus, I think she's quite unique in the modelling world! Big brown eyes, sensual lips, big smile... When I see her, I just want to hug her And she somentimes reminds me of Anne Hathaway

Then, I can't get over those looooong legs

And she seems to be quite fun, no?

And if you aren't convinced yet... Check this out:

The pink elephant gif was one of my favorite BZ gifs ever so seeing the video is a big plus (Y) . I always had this idea of her as being super serious for some reason, so seeing a fan and playful side is really nice to see . I guess since I'm warming up I can be honest the lips kindof really bothered me tremendously before, but after seeing the videos, they look much more natural in motion so they look much better to me now. I like that fashion tv vid better than her actual Maybelline commercials and the pics you posted showed she can be innocent and edgy too and that's always a plus. I guess I see a little door opening so I guess I'll check out her thread, thanks .

i need somebody to try to convince me on behati's beauty, i just don't get it.

^ I never used to get her either. i used to think she was average, but now i totally adore her, her face is striking- but not in the obvious way, shes cute, but you really need to look at her and explore her work to actually appreciate her beauty. she has a beautiful baby face who looks classy with her hazel eyes. she can also look sexy because she sort of has a mischevious look on her face most of the time. she has a strong modeling face even though she looks young because of her jawline && bone structure.

ok my turn, i have many but can anyone explain these two?

Freja Beha Ericson- she looks like a boy....

Alessandra Ambrosio - no.

AA- profile, torso, body symmetry.

Freja Beha Erichsen not sure

Alessandra Ambrosio she's just okay

Behati is cute, that's all

The worst for me is GISELE oh my god I just can't :x Give me ten Freja, Behati, Alessandra but no Gisele please..... what's wrong with me doctors of the forum

^ I cannot cure you, as i hate Gisele too. Highest Paid Supermodel in the world? why?! she looks like a horse...which is weird, because i love horses...so therefore i should love her.

You are my new best friend Vanessa and I love horse too

Can we avoid the model dissing in this one please ? Those fans that avoid the "models I don't get" and "not her again" type threads expecting a game have no warning...

I´ve been Gisele fan for like....10 years or so, but I absolutely get when someone can´t understand why she is so famous. Even my boyfriend doesn´t like her at all. I can understand why - her nose is weird, her head looks like a horse, she has no hips, and damn, there are so many more beautiful women in the business.

So why then?

When Gisele came into business, she was being refused - "not that nose", "look at her hips", "big boobs", "no no no". Then it came. Read this: (from http://www.millionlooks.com/gisele-bundchen/ )

When it comes to super models, it doesn’t get hotter than Gisele Bundchen. Infused with style, elegance and beauty this walking fashion queen sets every stage on fire.

Claudia Schiffer said: “Supermodels, like we once were, don’t exist any more” and reckoned that Gisele Bundchen was the only one close to earning the supermodel title.

Gisele Bundchen, the brazilian sexy supermodel, known worldwide as the world richest supermodel, was discovered in Brazil at the young age of 13. Surprisingly enough Gisele Bundchen actually wanted to become a professional volleyball player before she found her career as a model. Throughout her career Gisele Bundchen has worked for Balenciaga, Celine, Givenchy, Bvlgari, Louis Vuitton, and Victoria’s Secret and many others.

Bundchen was born in the Brazilian town of Três de Maio and grew up in Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sul. Both of her parents are German, Vânia Nonnenmacher, a bank clerk pensioner, and Valdir Bündchen, a university teacher and writer. She has five sisters — Raquel, Graziela, Gabriela, Rafaela and her fraternal twin Patrícia, Gisele’s junior by five minutes. Bundchen is Roman Catholic and speaks Portuguese as her native language. She also speaks Spanish and English.

“ I was born in Horizontina, a town in the backcountry of (Brazilian) state Rio Grande do Sul. The town was once mainly colonized by Germans. In the school which I attended, learning German was actually obligatory from third grade on. But being out of touch with the language for such a long time, I unfortunately forgot it. [...] I belong to the sixth generation of my family in Brazil. ”

Surprisingly, as a child Gisele was considered a good volleyball player and had hoped to become a professional player, perhaps for the Brazilian national squad, the Sogipa, but fortunately for her fans she was discovered by modeling talent scouts before she could commit to volleyball training.

Modeling started early for Gisele Bundchen, although in many ways accidentally. At the age of twelve Gisele’s mother encouraged her and two of her sisters to take a modeling course in their home town, believing this would increase their confidence.

In 1993, a then-13-year-old girl joined a modeling course with her sisters Patrícia and Gabriela at her mother’s insistence. The following year, Bundchen went to São Paulo on a school excursion to give them an opportunity to walk in a big city. In a shopping mall, while eating at McDonald’s with her friends, Bundchen was discovered by a modeling agency. She was subsequently selected for a national contest, Elite Look of the Year, in which she placed second — Claudia Menezes, from Bahia, took first place. Bundchen placed fourth in the world contest, held in Ibiza, Spain. In 1996, Bundchen moved to New York City to begin her modeling career, debuting at Fashion Week.

She graced the cover again in November and December of that year. She won the VH1/Vogue Model of the Year for 1999, and a January 2000 cover gave her the rare honor of three consecutive Vogue covers. In 2000, she became the fourth model to appear on the cover of the music magazine Rolling Stone, when she was named “the most beautiful girl in the world.” Bundchen has been on the covers of many top fashion magazines including W, Harper’s Bazaar, ELLE, Allure, international editions of Vogue, as well as style and lifestyle publications such as i-D, The Face, Arena, Citizen K, Flair, GQ, Esquire, and Marie Claire. She has been featured both in the Pirelli Calendar 2001 and 2006 and in broader market publications such as Time, Vanity Fair, Forbes, Newsweek and Veja, more than 500 magazine covers throughout the world.

Bundchen consistently works with acclaimed photographers such as Mario Testino, Steven Meisel, Nick Knight, Mert and Marcus, Rankin, Annie Leibovitz, Karl Lagerfeld, Peter Lindbergh, David LaChapelle, Mario Sorrenti, Nino Munoz and Patrick Demarchelier, and with renowned directors such as Jean Baptiste Mondino and Bruno Aveillan.

Naomi Campbell said: “Models need to earn their stripes – I just think the term is used a little too loosely. Kate Moss is obviously a supermodel but, after Gisele, I don’t think there’s been one.”

On August 26, 2008, the New York Daily News, in a list, named Bundchen the fourth-most-powerful person in the fashion world.

On May 12, 2009, The Independent, called her the biggest star in fashion history.

Since her debut, Bundchen has been the face of a variety of advertising campaigns including several seasons of Christian Dior, Balenciaga, Loewe, Mervyn’s, Dolce & Gabbana, Missoni, Versace, Givenchy, Bvlgari, Lanvin, Guerlain, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Earl Jean, Zara, Chloé, Michael Kors, Louis Vuitton and Victoria’s Secret. She has appeared in advertisements for Nivea lotion and is the face of several Brazilian brands including Vivo, Multiplan (Shopping Malls), Colcci, Credicard (Citibank) and Volkswagen do Brasil. After C&A Brazil hired Bundchen as a spokesmodel and began airing television commercials, sales increased by 30%.

In May 2006, Bundchen signed another multi-million dollar deal, this time with American giant Apple Inc.. She starred in an advertising campaign to promote the new Macintosh line through the Get a Mac advertisements. Also in 2006, Bundchen became the new face of Swiss luxury watchmaker Ebel.

She has her own line of sandals with footwear company Grendene called Ipanema Gisele Bundchen. Forbes puts her 53rd on their list of the most powerful celebrities of 2007 because of the international success of her shoe line, making the brand Ipanema the most sold Brazilian flip-flop in the world, surpassing the legendary Havaianas. Custom Ipanema flip-flops sell for as much as $230 a pair. She is also the owner of a hotel in the south of Brazil, the Palladium Executive.

On May 1, 2007, it was announced that Bündchen had ended her contract with Victoria’s Secret.

In July 2007, having earned an estimated total of $33 million in the past 12 months, Forbes magazine named her the world’s top-earning model in the list of the World’s 15 Top-Earning Supermodels.

An American economist named Fred Fuld developed a stock index to measure the profit performance improvement of companies represented by Bundchen compared with the Dow Jones Industrial Average. According to Fuld, the Gisele Bundchen Stock Index was up 15% between May and July 2007, substantially surpassing the Dow Jones Industrial Average which was up just 8.2%.

Charitable organizations around the world are dedicated to bettering the lot of their fellow humans by whatever means necessary. Charities often greatly benefit from the media attention when a celebrity is affiliated with their efforts. Gisele Bundchen is one such beauty with a big heart.

Bundchen lends her support and image to a number of charities and humanitarian causes, such as the I am African campaign, in which she painted her face to protest the lack of attention given to Africa’s HIV/AIDS victims. Without receiving payment, Bundchen was, in 2006, the face of American Express Red Card, an initiative launched by U2 front man Bono and Bobby Shriver to send a percentage of monies earned from the financial transactions of this credit card to Africa’s HIV/AIDS victims.

In 2009, she appeared almost simultaneously in more than 20 covers of the international issues of Elle magazines wearing (Product) Red clothing and posing with products from companies who support the same cause. (RED)’s primary objective is to engage the private sector in increasing assistance for the Global Fund, to help defeat AIDS in Africa. Companies whose products take on the mark contribute a percentage of the sales or portion of the profits from that product to the Global Fund to finance AIDS programs in Africa, with special attention on the health of women and children.

Another of the high profile Gisele Bundchen charity activities saw the supermodel design an exclusive and limited edition line of platinum jewelry to raise funds for pediatric cancer patients. The proceeds from sale of the jewelry were used to fund research at a specialist center for pediatric cancer. She has also acted as a spokesperson and campaign model for to raise awareness of breast cancer.

She was, in 2009, one of the celebrities to sign up for the auction fundraiser of celebrities autographed iPods to raise cash for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, organized by Tonic.com., alongside former U.S.A.’s president Bill Clinton, Cher, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Ellen DeGeneres and others. The money is for the Music Rising institution which aims to recover and invest in the musical culture of the destroyed areas.

She promotes protecting the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and Amazon Rainforest water sources, donating to this cause a percentage of profits from her line of sandals named Ipanema Gisele Bundchen. Also, Bundchen helps projects such as Nascentes do Brasil, ISA, Y Ikatu Xingu and De Olho nos Mananciais.

Bündchen and Grendene, the company that produces and disseminates her line of sandals, also joined the Florestas do Futuro project for the reforestation of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The project was created by the NGO named SOS Atlantic Forest in 2004. The new forest, named for Gisele Bündchen Sementes, started with 25,500 shoots of 100 different species, enough to revitalize an area of 15 hectares.

In January 2010, Bündchen donated US$1,500,000 to relief efforts for the 2010 Haiti Earthquake.

On 20 September, 2009, she was designated Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

It is clear that this is one supermodel that has her feet firmly planted on the ground. She does what she can to make this world a better place for all who live in it.

So why this all? Because she´s not just a pretty face or pretty body. She´s got personality and very strong one. She´s a business woman and her sister is a damn great manager. She does charity. She knows how to sell the product. She is a celebrity, people love her because of who she is, not how she looks. She is generous, kind and crazy, and down to earth so photographers and designers love to work with her.

Oh, and her legs they are long, toned and neverending her hair is perfect. Her boobs are wonderful. Her bum is amazing. She knows how to work that body, damn well. She´s inspiring for people in fashion. She played in two movies, dated Leo, and now she married Tom (who I didn´t even know before she started dating him).

Did I say she´s a damn great businesswoman? I guess she never sleeps. She works really hard.

She´s a trade mark. And her catwalk is killing!

Don't make light of mod statements (with regard to rules) in general and I'm particularly not in the mood and patience kindof low .
