woooow :drool:

thanks)

I think that she looks better when she looks lovely,but sexy-cool too,but lovely...amazing)

Can I just say that I love those little dimples she has on her lower back like from the VSFS 2007 photo posted on page 282....they're so cute!

Found this on vogue.com:

...And Czech model Karolina Kurokova was revealed to have been the highest model earner of 2003, pocketing a total of £3.8 million after taking on Gisele Bundchen's Victoria's Secret contract and posing for the likes of Tommy Hilfiger.

She is very lucky to have such a successful career in different modeling fields throughout the years....the majority of models have a season or two of being popular then literally disappear.....now she can choose how she wants to continue her professional life and her many options. I think she has been very smart with her career (though honestly, I would have liked to seen more HF ads and campaigns) and am always reading quotes about how professional and hard-working and clean (i.e. no drugs etc.) she is. She has maintained a great reputation in the industry (aside from that totally false gossipy rumour about the Angie and Brad threesome) and her low key lifestyle has kept her grounded I think.

OMG Nefertiti !!!!

That sunglasses campaign is ONE OF MY FAVOURITES of KK! Thank you!

I just love love love everything about the ad, the concept, the model :blush:, the colour, the poses, the hair, the make-up, the shoes...ugh everything!!!

:heart: :laugh:

Supermodel Karolina Kurkova's 'Weight Problem' Revealed

LOS ANGELES — Karolina Kurkova’s "Weight Problem"

Karolina Kurkova’s "Weight Problem"

Although she looked simply stunning at last year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, supermodel Karolina Kurkova has come under harsh criticism for her fuller-than-usual figure over recent months. The 24-year-old was unfairly blasted by the Brazilian media for her "cellulite and love handles" after walking in Sao Paulo Fashion Week in June, and was then harshly dubbed "too fat" by fashion critics following the lavish lingerie show in November.

Kurkova has told Tarts in the past that her diet is comprised mainly of fresh vegetables, salad and protein. But for several weeks leading up to last year’s Miami show, an inside source said that the supermodel cut carbs altogether, and worked out for hours in an effort to keep up with other super-slim Angels Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima, Miranda Kerr and Marisa Miller.

"She was exhausted and didn’t get down to where she wanted to be," said the pal.

Apparently her weight woes may have more to do with a medical condition than with just a lack of willpower. According to an insider, Kurkova joins the ranks of 27 million Americans who suffer from the thyroid disorder hypothyroidism, which interferes with the body's metabolism.

We’re also told that the Czech-born beauty (who is the eighth highest-paid supermodel in the world, according to Forbes) almost didn’t strut in the 2008 VS show, and the final decision to let her bare her bod to billions wasn’t made until the last minute, which is why her name was kept off pre-show press materials.

A rep for Kurkova did not respond to calls for comment.

that "Karolina Kurkova's Weight Woes" story has made its way around the world. i've seen articles from Thailand, India, England, Morocco, Indonesia, Japan ... not to mention obviously Canada and the USA. she may not be as famous as Gisele or Naomi or Cindy, but she's apparently internationally newsworthy.

shame about the topic though ...

i hope she's healthy and well. i don't know if a thyroid issue is treatable, and if so i'm not sure of how they do it. but it just makes my heart melt for her, knowing that she's trying to stay fit and her own body is working against her. but really though, even if she puts on another 50lbs, she'll still always have that smile and that radiance. and i'll still think she's amazing!

Hypothyroidism is very commom, and very treatable with drugs such as Synthroid, etc. The thyroid gland regulates body metabolism, so it affects weight gain, regardless of diet. It is a more common disease in women, and a very common symptom is also fatigue. Generally, a good endocrinologist can diagnose and treat this managable disease. If this is what KK has, I'm sure she will seek treatment, and feel better soon.
