she's belgian, but most people don't even know here! she was in the news while she was starring in the haute couture for dior, and journalist said that she's a "newbie" but she isn't...

I love her but the roses are covering her face to much.

aww you're lovely to indulge me

Basically the writer proposed that after Bernini (17th century sculptor) figures began to be portrayed with their mouths open. The idea being that the open mouth represents the moment before speech, and speech is one of the ways in which we transform ourselves or are transformed in the eyes of others. So a photograph of someone with their mouth ajar would make us anticipate transformation and remind us of how human beings are constantly changing - since 'being', as Kant said, is a process.

I hope that made sense

Quite interesting, actually... and flowers: growth, or sexuality, as another mentioned, thinking of say, Georgia O'Keefe.

^ great point

Plus, we always start thread when actresses are on magazine covers, but rarely when models are on.

model covers usually go in the threads about that particular model...some actresses don't have threads devoted to them...

covers are also posted in the "What magazines have you bought/received recently" thread...

edit to add...according to this post, elise isn't inside: http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/showpost.php?p=558913&postcount=1226

Wow! that is a racy catalog, Elise looks good but didnt i hear Elise wouldn't do shoots like that?

that's just what i thought when i saw the pics.

she's looking great by the way

In my opinion, this cover is so great it deserves a thread of its own. But I see your point

Most people here don't even know she's Belgian? Ha! Would bet 99(.99)% of people here know that. Not to mention, her Hot Mama Belgian accent (when speaking in English) adds to her appeal .

 

[Zimdor]

sometimes she looks soooo beautiful, other times sooo wierd...i guess they call that versitile?

Naw, I don't think she has any greater percentage of pictures she looks "weird" in than any other top model (and that's a purely balanced judgment, damn it ).

I think she was referring to where SHE is, in Belgium... That most of the people in Belgium dont know that one of their own is a big time model

Elise for POLHAM ss05, photog. Ellen Von Worth
expect everything from Ellen Von Worth...

OMG. Oh...my...goodness. The Editorial Elise Fans Have Often Been Dreaming About But Never Thought They'd Ever See In Their Lives . That's definitely an Ellen Von Unwerth spread. If it was, say, Susan Eldridge or AB Barros in it, you wouldn't do much more than say "cool, sexy, typical".

But Elise?!?!?! OMG. O...M...G! (gets control of myself...). Absolutely...mesmerizing. She's got true star quality .

Ah yes, the different perspective. Would not doubt that; few people in any country know the names and/or birthplaces of any of today's top models. But they should!

(OK, I've used up my daily allotment in this thread...moving to other threads now )
