I think you're right (thanks for the pics by the way). I probably shouldn't have posted to begin with-I had no intention of starting an argument- it was just something I'd noticed and it irked me a little. I'm on the thread b/c I think that Gisele is occasionally an exceptional model (meaning beautiful and photogenic etc.) I say occasionally b/c the quality of her work varies. That may havwe to do with her, or it may be about who she working with at the time (designers, photographers, etc.)Queen said:What a stupid argument really...Gisele Bundchen is a model and when I see her in a mag or whatever the only thing I'm interesting in is in her photos, looks..., I mean if she's a selfish or if she's a liar...just I don't care, all these don't take away her physical beauty...
Moreover there are a lot of models who do drugs, who are arrogant...but no one says nothing about them. I don't understand the obsession with this girl....If she has a hyprocritical attitude and you dont' like her, why are you wasting your time in this thread?

lady grey said:""the former head of Elite models says that his protege is ungrateful for giving her a start in the business when she was 14 years old:
"when I criticize Saint Gisele, it is only to put things in the right perspective. She behaved badly with peopel who did everything for her. There are those people who are humble & keep that in mind, and others who pretend they were born superstars."

mmatras said:a great new editorial from vitals magazine-gisele and vida at their finest:QUOTE:
pg 82:GISELE: nice 8 page gisele pics/info edit. opening pic is her 'real' clothes in feb 2005: hugo boss coat- D&G grey sweater, earl jeans.
pg 83: nice armani silk gown;
pg 84/85: way hot dior homme black blazer & pants & pink shirt, but its another thompson-goofy gisele 2 pager! like the W goofy clown face shoot- shes jumping around & dancing looking rather un-co-ordinated is it the robot?? Im sure gis can dance better than this....not well choreographed 2 pages but i love the clothes & thompson's pics here. .
pg 86 VIDA PORTRAIT BEST PIC IN ISH!!: Full Page color portrait of VIDA!!! a cute teacup yorkie that cost gis $4500 at ny's american kennels. gis uses little butterfly clips for vida's cute butterscotch pony tail. CUTE!!!
pg 87 gis in marc jersey/cotton dress. best gis modelling pic in ish. the most W looking studio image in edit.
gis quotes: she says that since 1ge 19 she gave up on runway exdcept brazil fashion weeks. she got tired of it.
she considers modelling 40% of her life; buying houses & renovating them is 60%!! she sold her woodstock house but has places in nyc, la & sao paolo.
Gis' airplane routine: she listens to brazilian music, drinks 2 glasses of chilean red wine, reads a book like 'astrology for the soul' {!!!] 'after about FIVE pages' [!!] falls asleep!!
also interview w/ carlton gardner, gis' assistant. gis loves frosted flakes!! fascinating profile of gis, travelling, life, vida & pics :
rating 7.5 of 10, especially for info!!
COVER/SHOOT/PIC: pg 2: Cool behind the scenes feature on gisele's cover shoot w/michael thompson.
The dancing images seen in the edit were gisele dancing [somewhat clumsily it appears, or doing the robot] to kelis' 'milkshake' [remix] & prince's 'kiss.'
there is a picture of vida's stuffed monkey.
that very afternoon gis embarked on a 2 week surfing holiday in costa rica. she has said her dream is to be 'a monkey in costa rica.'
her breakfast was a bagel w/cream cheese.
her lunch was a cheeseburger [medium] & fries from star diner on west 18th st.
cover look is LV silk jacket & skirt. its a nice cover springy light colors & vibe but also a little white-washed out, everything is good from gis to make up & clothes but it looks a bit like a clean JANE cover. the W style studio pics inside described below are a more typical [superb] thompson style

novaII said:I would say that Gisele looks like a transvestite, but that would be an insult to transvestites the world over, many of whom are far prettier than she is.
Five years after the fact, I still don't get why Gisele Bundchen is considered a supermodel, or The Supermodel. Of course, these are my opinions and as such they're totally subjective but every time I see her I can't help but think "Damn, she's ugly." I hate the fact that the media (Conde Nasties included) tries to force-feed her to the public as "the world's most beautiful woman" or as a "supermodel" when the fact of the matter is there are tons of more gorgeous, more charismatic models out there who are far more deserving of the title.
I think Gisele is a very well-hyped, well-marketed product, and not a great model.

I don't think Leo does drugs- I've never read about that (even in gossip rags) and he's never been brought up on charges or anything. He works with several anti-drug groups and he speaks about keeping kids off drugs. I've never heard of Gisele doing drugs either though I haven't heard about her discouraging other like leo does. just 'cause drugs are common in hollywood and the modelling industry, it doesn't mean that EVERYONE in those businesses is involved w/ them.
