Best Expression of VSFS08: Marisa VS Heidi

Click the link in my sig to go vote

Here is my translation of the main article on the German Vogue website:

I, Heidi

Purposeful, generous and fantastically humorous. A visit with the most beautiful and successful personal-corporation in the world.

Sunshine, a warm, light breeze breathes through the city. 10:30 in the Los Angeles morning. It promises to become a beautiful day. "Good Morning everyone," whistles Heidi Klum in her best mood as she rips open the door with cheerful momentum. She looks fantastic, totally without makeup, so casual only wearing a t-shirt and black leggings, without an entourage. She looks around at the hairstylist, makeup artist and wardrobe specialist and gives everyone her million-dollar smile. "When I came home last night, I had to put makeup on my children for the first time. They found my makeup so wild and wanted to look just like me," she blurts out.

NICE GIRL

We are on the grounds of an old power plant in a roomy trailer, in which Heidi Klum is preparing for the photo shoot. She glides into the hairstyling chair, striking her long legs valued at 1.6 million euros together and checks her Blackberry for the last time. "Today, I'm not supposed to laugh on set," she giggles informally. "The photographer wants me to look straight ahead and seriously into the camera." Heidi should not show her trademark laughter?

"What else is there?" asks the willing Klum critic. "That is okay. I don't make make anything of criticism and certain commentary does not interest me. There are certain things I just don't talk about." Clear answer. That is exactly what is so refreshingly sympathetic about Heidi Klum: always friendly, in a good mood, never hard, annoying or cold, not even regarding paparazzi. To be sure, she demarcates the boundaries clearly. "Take part and surpass your partner," her motto reads. A woman who wears her heart on her tongue knows what she wants and has no angst about saying "no".

Every bit as purposeful today at 35 years as she was in 1992 when she beat out more than 25000 rivals on Thomas Gottschalks late-night show. Her best friend even today, Karin, had persuaded her to join in at that time. With her newly established Heidi Klum, PLC ("You never know how good that is") and with a $300,000, three-year modeling contract in her pocket, Klum went first to Miami in 1993 and then to New York. Diligently, far away from home and without support, she fought for one casting after another. "The beginning was bad. I got many refusals and often felt alone, homesick," she reveals. "But I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it." She instructed her agent to open doors for her. She already felt she could handle the rest.

THE BREAKTHROUGH

In the spring of 1997, she ascended to the peak of U.S. modeling - she walked the runway for Victoria's Secret - the beginning of her now more than 10-year collaboration with the lingerie cult-label. Also, her private life could not have run better. In the same year, she married her fiancee, celebrity hairstylist Ric Pipino (the marriage held for six years during her steep career, but is no longer standing and they are separated).

Soon after that Heidi's star was illuminated in the sky over Hollywood, as she occupied different roles in films and TV shows. One of the memorable early appearances was a scene in bed with Michael J. Fox in the successful series Spin City, in which Heidi played herself yodeling. A simple irony that she can again and again have a marvelous time with that. Also, her international breakthrough did not wait long. In 1998 she became the first German on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and released a true "Heidimania" with that.

So far, that success story is incomparable. How the beautiful German further went to her breakthrough, read the current issue of Vogue 06/09.

Official about Stern cover

Stern Ausgabe 7. Mai 09

Die Fotomontage ist ja noch ganz süß.

Gerade vom Stern habe ich mir doch viel mehr erwartet.

Sein Journalismus gleicht der Boulevardpresse.

Das lange Interview worum ich gebeten wurde, haben sie nicht abgedruckt. Es war wahrscheinlich auch interessanter 10 Jahre alte Sprüche vom Exagenturchef Mr. Casablanca wieder aufzuwärmen, bzw. meinen Vater mit blumigen Worten als Schießbudenbesitzer zu bezeichnen.

Hier die neue Ausgabe des Stern.

Was sagt Ihr dazu?

Eure Heidi...mehr

For those that didn't understand this, it's Heidi talking about the Stern Magazine article about her.

She thinks the picture montage is sweet, but says that their level of journalism is no better than tabloids. She did a long interview for that issue, but they didn't print it. Instead they printed comments from people like the former modeling agency head Mr. Casablanca who had mean things to say about her and call her father a "Schießbudenbesitzer" which translates roughly as a person who sits in a toilet stall with sh*t. :(
