check out this blog for lots of natural ali.

Ahaha these are hilarious! The one of Ali posing with her Poppy ad

I wonder how these got there, though. It feels kind of awkward looking through her semi-private photos. Hope you don't mind, Ali, .

who is the writer of that blog?

 

[FrenchCactus]

After looking at these adorable pictures, I think I prefer her natural hair colour.

I can't get over how sensational she looks this season.

By the way, does anyone have any scans or interviews (or info itself) on her beauty and health regime. I'm pretty sure I remember her saying she was vegan but I'm not sure about anything else.

Honestly, this season I was not a fan about her.. I absolutely agree with you , parisia. I can't got her this season. There is something.. something changes that even difficult to describe.

 

[XTWTX]

Maybe that look she had in shows, just doesn't fitted to her.. But anyhow, she did fine.

What a complexion. She really ought to be bigger than she is. I can only think of a handful of current models in her class, and yet this isn't translating quite completely.

She's got a face that's so radiant . I've always liked her style during fashion week and she used to wear so much CDG's Play shirts .

I can't get over how sensational she looks this season.

from her interview with pony ryder, march 2009:

PONY RYDER: Ali, how do you maintain balance between a fantastic shape and nutrition?
ALI MICHAEL: I do cardio at the gym and do floor exercises at night and in the morning. Most of the time I get my exercise by walking all over the city. I don't even have a subway card because I just prefer to walk. It's definitely more scenic than running on the treadmill. As far as nutrition, I think the most important thing is to have a healthy balance of nutrients in your food and to appreciate and be mindful of where it comes from and how fortunate you are to have it.

PONY RYDER: How do you maintain your skin?
ALI MICHAEL: I cleanse and moisturize my face twice a day.

PONY RYDER: What products do you prefer?
ALI MICHAEL: I love Origins products. I use the Checks and Balances face-wash and A Perfect World moisturizer and eye cream. I have really sensitive skin but I've used this stuff for years and I love it. I also occasionally use a face-mask made only of azuki beans, rice bran and soybeans ground together. For body, I use a natural exfoliating scrub from Sabon in NYC in the shower and moisturize every day with organic avocado oil and a shea butter cream. I also have a total obsession with lip balm.

PONY RYDER: And hair. Do you have any special regime you do...?
ALI MICHAEL: I don't have any special regime. I just shampoo and condition it whenever I feel it needs it.


and she mentions her veganism in this interview with bunnybisous, december 2008:

Favorite holiday desert:
Ali Michael: I can't imagine that any of my family members will go near any vegan treat that I attempt to make; but I'm loving warm raw cacao-coconut-almond milk at the moment! I want to try to make a raw vegan cheesecake or recreate Souen's carob brownies with pine nuts.


her complexion is so, so lovely - she seems to have totally lucked out genetically in that department, regardless of what products she uses.
...but i might put some of them on my christmas wishlist, just in case

 

[ALIK]

Hey, I did some illustrations for online mag Nicola Diary, and Ali was one of my muses!
Hope you like it!

 

[parisia]

thanks so much, kissability!
and yes, i think her wonderful skin comes from genetics.
models generally eat very healthy foods (apart from the smoking!), so i'm always interested in what they consume so i can get ideas for myself.

Ali Michael....it's frustrating that nobody is paying attention to her.
