How to Be a Supermodel
By PENELOPE GREEN

Published: December 5, 2004 ny times

HIS Leno regular, public yodeler and veteran of Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues was once just a small-town girl from Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, who won a modeling contest at 18. Heidi Klum admits that she's now a supermodel, but she also reports that she's heavier and shorter and she grins more than her peers in the business. Plus she's got a bigger bottom (look, there it is on this lush book's back cover, galloping down an alley of evergreens in a tiny black bikini). She would like to share the secrets of her success, which mostly boil down to ambition and a very sound grasp of marketing techniques.

Ms. Klum's No. 1 rule is "You have to want it, baby." No. 2 is "Sell it!"

She's not one to put on airs, especially linguistic ones. "Does it suck," she writes, "to show up at a casting call and find hundreds of girls lined up, all over 5-foot-10, all gorgeous, all trying to get the job you covet?"

You bet.

But Ms. Klum is a gutsy girl. So she hires a publicist, and works on buzzing up her image: on the Letterman show, she yodels for Dave. On a photo shoot with Evander Holyfield for the 2000 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, she decides to bite his ear, hard.

"I think playing against type usually works well," she writes in explanation of that decision. "Or at least it's smart not to do the cliché thing. Boxer = Tough Guy. Model = Sex Kitten. Yawn."

Ms. Klum is media-savvy, but also kind of lovable. Like barber and pizza shop proprietors, she has the endearing habit of liking to have her picture taken with the celebrities she meets (and she shares those with her readers). Backstage before an appearance on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno", Prince asks his people to ask her people if they might meet. She's thrilled, he's painfully shy, and when she asks for her usual picture, he balks.

"I don't believe in photographs," he tells her. "When I take a picture it's like something has been taken away from me." Okaaay, Ms. Klum writes.

She also asks her famous friends to share their own success secrets. Spoilsport Prince hasn't shared, but Bono has:

"The world is more malleable than you think," Mr. U2 says. "It is not all set in concrete and where it is, at least stick your fingers in before it dries."

And Tyra Banks says, "Wear control-top stockings when you wear white so they can't see the cellulite on your booty."

These sound principles, and Ms. Klum's grandmother's recipe for sauerkraut soup (which calls for an entire 12-ounce bottle of Heinz ketchup), are surely worth $27.50.
 
Is she kidding? The only rules she ever followed to become famous is having big very big breasts and a round behind!
 
When you take a picture something its taken away from you? Its called a roll of film and it can easily be replaced, Prince :rolleyes:

This book should be entertaining read. I love Tyra's comment <3.
 
thanks for posting that softgrey :flower:

I like her, she seems fun :blush:
 
sounds like an entertaining read, nothing more, but still better than Paris Hilton's book (i feel like you have to compare those two....)
 
Tyra's awesome. I want her as my best friend.

And Bono, always one to share insight. :heart:

This book may be interesting afterall...
 
Forgive me for sounding negative, but it always irks me when people call Heidi Klum a supermodel.

What has she done, apart from, as Spike so eloquently put it, show her t*ts and **** for Victoria's Secret?

:huh: :sick:

My sentiments exactly. Recently, the closest thing to a supermodel was Giselle and even that was iffy.
 
6 DECEMBER 2004

Two of the fashion industry's most famous faces have proved that their skills are not limited to posing for the cameras. Catwalk queen Heidi Klum launched her new book Body Of Knowledge in New York at the weekend, while her fellow blonde bombshell Paris Hilton presented her namesake perfume at a glitzy bash in LA.

The German model's book promises to let readers in on the "eight secrets of model behaviour". And needless to say, the tome also includes a generous sprinkling of photos, with the author in some of her most memorable – and risqué – poses.

"I wanted to write something because I thought I had so many great stories to tell and I had so many pictures and I didn’t want to just do a picture book," explained the 31-year-old. "It's for guys who want to know more about girls and girls who want to know more about guys."

Heidi has also called on many of her showbiz friends to share their pearls of wisdom, so readers are offered tips from the likes of Donald Trump, who explains how to rise above criticism, and Miramax boss Harvey Weinstein, who reveals how to break into the movie industry.

Paris was meanwhile looking her usual glamorous self in a gold and cream bodice when she launched her eponymous fragrance. The perfume wasn't scheduled to hit the shelves until 2005, but bosses at Parlux Fragrances decided to move the date forward because the hotel heiress is currently enjoying so much media attention. "We had planned to launch Paris Hilton’s perfume early next year but we pushed it up because Paris is such a big name right now," revealed a spokesman.
 
they have her in so many tv ads over there, don't they get tired? as for her: i think she would do any commercial nowadays, if only the money is right....
