I believe that you have to be 5'8" and over for runway.

I finally got my VS catalog!!! Its got a lot of Adriana pics! Yaaaayyy!

how much is that in centimeters?

173 cm.

1 foot is 12 inches

5 *12 + 8=68

1 inch is 2.54 cm

68 * 2.54 = 172,7

I can't wait to get the Christmas catalogue!!!

i got it but it could have been better!! the ones from the past few years were better for her.

Thanx That's really friendly and nice!!!

Or if you're really really good and you have 'it', I'm sure they'll make an exception.. I mean Devon Aoki is only 5'6.

OMG !!that's like 167 right?

that is really short for a model

well it's not a big deal i know, the only reason i mentioned about it was becuase you sounded so excited, but most things on wikipedia arent so true simply becuase it's just written by any people who may or may not know what they are talking about. Capoeira is a brazilian dance/excersize tradition that involves alot of twisting, flipping, turning and alot of other neat techniques and movements. it's a bit different than martial arts considering it's not really there for people to learn how to protect themselves, it's something they did for fun i guess.

lol are you tryin to explain me what Kapoeira is????

She is doin Kapoeira which is more a dance than a fightsport lol i know it ....about bjj it seems real cause she was friend with keyra gracie who is a famous Brazilian jiujitsu practicioner moreover i've seen pictures of her with anonio rodriguo "minotauro" nogueira and she was more like the fan meeting a star( actually he is a big one in brazil & japan)

Hi everyone I'm new here! I normally go on forums just to read the conversations but this is the first time I've ever become a member. I subscribed because this forums gets responses often and its has a really good Adriana Lima thread but I really have no idea what I'm doing. I dont know how to make avatars and signatures so I dunno... could someone tell me how or make one for me (I'm completely retarded when it comes to computers .) Anyway thanks guys

Oh and Capoeira is actually a form of self defence. Um it was started by slaves in Brazil who wanted to practice fighting so they could escape the sugar plantations but obviously they would get in trouble if they were caught practicing so they invented a form of dance/fighting. its bascically choregraphed fighting set to heavy drum beats. And Adriana does do MMA, I heard her say it on an interveiw on Extra, I'll try and find the clip on youtube or something and then post a link (if I can figure out how to do that...)

Well if the height required is 5'8, it's only 2 inches shorter (don't know cm, sorry)

But since most models are 5'10 +, yeah that's really short lol

My mother doesn't like Adriana ('s looks) at all. Before i always showed her Maybelline ads and told her i loved her and she was my favorite model... She was like i don't like her that much.

Then the other day i showed her bunch of absolutely gorgeous candits and she still said..I definitely don't like her(look) , she is not Pretty at all She is very plain!

I was like

WTF!!! <_<

It's crazy right? I KNOW! Lik she is crazy..Like omg how cans he look at 1 of the most beautiful girls onn the world and say she is ntpretty and taht she is plain???

I mean that's Totally radicilous!!! I was thinking she must be blind!

I don't think i need to explain really how i feel becouse i'm sure others woyld undrstand.

It's not like i care really what ppl think of my favorite models or whatever , ow how they see them..But now Adriana is different , same as saying Angelina Jolie is not pretty and plain right?

Oh and btw when isked Yea well then who who is a beautiful woman? She is like Angelina Jolie , i wa sjust thinking wtf theyr equally beautiful if not Adriana's more...Then she said Jessica Alba i just stoped listening.

LMAO Your mom is just like mine! Except she loves Angelina and not Jessica.. Jessica is boring. But she doesn't find anything special about Adriana

She likes Salma Hayek and Angelina and some others.

erm... Salma Hayek?

i know lots of people who think Angelina is not beautiful at all..and most of them think Adriana is not very special,either.

It seems you know many blind people

I know many people who say Adriana's body looks like a 12 year old boy. Or a prepubescent body with boobs. They are probably actually jealous, but it's amazing how often I hear people say that Adriana is plain, not curvy enough, and too tall and skinny. Duh she's a model! But these comments come from both men and women who seem to think the curvier the women the more attractive and they think Adriana does not measure up. I personally think Adriana is curvy (my body is very similar) but to each his own. Everyone has different tastes.

Example: This was posted on Female First forum, discussing Lima- "Boring and overrated. She's about as curvy as a 10 year old boy. She's barely a looker without her makeup and has enormous buck teeth. She's thin as a rail too."

Another poster in reponse to this said- "ha ha. Spot on" Found on this link......

Many, many people find her VERY unattractive for some strange reason.

I think thin model women appeal more to Women then Men. How many fans of Ana Beatriz Barros and Ale are Women vs Men? It seems a lot of the stick thin models on here for example, have 10 women fans for every one or two male fans.

Most men are checking out the women with larger boobs and butts......

Do you not know who she is or do you not find her pretty? I think Salma is beautiful for her age:

I think Adriana is curvy, I actually think she has the perfect body but that's just me.

good post melvaughn! I think you forgot about 3 things:

1. People that look exotic generally seem more attractive. So if you see blond and pale skinned men everywhere there is a big chance you will find a dark haired guy attractive even if he isn't as tall and good looking as the blond ones. In my case I can't name one central/eastern European model I could call stunning. Karolina is beautiful but others look ordinary to me, and honestly... I don't even know their names.

There is a big chance you will find Adriana's fans in places/countries where her type of beauty isn't common.

2. I'm not sure if men generally like curvy women. Maybe I'm a weirdo but in my opinion Adriana looked best when she was about 20. She didn't look as curvy as she is now (she looker extremely skinny and usually I don't like that), but her face seemed incredibly young and simply stunning. I've read a psychological study about the way men judge a woman's looks and according to it men pay most attention to a woman's face (the other important bodyparts are obvious - boobs and butt)

3. You wrote that models have much more female fans. I don't think that is true. Most men are a different kind of fans then women. We don't usually care about a models personality, personal life, we don't join fanclubs etc. We only like their looks. Since female fans are more active then male fans it may seem the first group is much bigger then the second one.

I know my english is terrible - I hope I'm understandable...

There was no need for the 'thank you very much', in no way was I being rude. <_<

She's got the perfect body imo. Those girls on that forum wish they had her body!!!

Rayne: Salma is very pretty too.
