woohoo!! campaign for elise!
you know, models.com is really confusing me now...for elise, the vogue cover is still there but dna is listed again and she has a new description thing. it's the same for snejana (updated description and pic there again). but for some girls (e.g. Marija V) there's still no pic and only those horrible one line descriptions...

 

[dizzytacks]

she looked just like kate on the British vogue cover, i had to take a second look, i like elise more each day, i am soo happy she isnt a red head anymore!!

 

[fleur137]

i love how her catlike eyes are so emphasised in that cover! it was a plain setting but elise really made it sparkle

^hmmm perhaps it's just me but somehow i don't quite see the resemblence.........ok maybe a bit of the nose and lips but definitely not the cheeks....

 

[nanker_phledge]

I definitely see the resemblance with Ingrid Bergman .

Here's Elise as a child .

 

[nanker_phledge]

Ok I've translated and made a resume of the little article which was featuring below these pictures :

(That was back in 2003) 'Elise got her driving license in 2002 and worked as a volunteer in an orphanage .She would work there in the morning and would go surfing with her brothers during the afternoon. Elise has been living in New York for a year now and does 200 push-ups (!) every day , she fills her notebooks with her impressions 'In the future , I will always have these pictures and videos to reminds of these moments , but nothing to remind of my impressions and sensations.So ,I write them'.She also writes a bit of poetry.She's been scouted twice in Brussels .'The first time, I was that tall greenbean who wasn't confident about herself and then they were proposing me to be a model!'.She refuses .The following time, Next proposed her to work for them 'I really didn't know what I wanted to do in my life.So I went there out of curiosity.' Her debut is difficult for her , she spends a few months in London feeling lonely.Then she flies to New York and shares a flat with other models . She runs every day and loses the weight she had gained during her adolescence and becomes more and more successful. 'Sport makes you feel more confident , it made me feel stronger and more 'adult'.She is fascinated by Jane Birkin , Kate Moss , Vanessa Paradis , Milla Jovovich , 'These women have a lot of personality and something else than just beauty to give.'

i prefer it when she dyed her hair into red in 2005.
even though she is kind of "over" now,she will always remain to be one of my favorites.

I don't see the Young Ingrid Bergman and Elise resemblance either.

I love the jedroot ( #1626 ) post. Thank you to all.
