RELATIONSHIPS WITH WHIT
Supermodel spills secrets to sexy
By WHITNEY CASEY
You may have heard the saying, "Why date the girl in the skirt, if you can date the girl in the ad for the skirt?" This is the modelizer's motto. "The girl in the ad for the skirt" is part of an über-exclusive cadre of women who have carte blanche when it comes to accessing everything life has to offer. They are real-life line skippers who spend most of their lives being ushered through velvet ropes, upstairs to private parties and off to far-flung exotic destinations on private jets.
When it comes to relationships, they also get whatever they want. They date rock stars, billionaires, sultans, princes and pro athletes. They are the only group of women who can innocently giggle, twist their hair around their finger and be three hours late to dinner, yet still hold all the power and call all the shots. They can date like men. They are supermodels.
You can't beat them or join them, so steal secrets from them
Who better to ask how to be the hottest woman possible than the hottest woman possible? Supermodel Karolina Kurkova has been the coveted Sports Illustrated swimsuit-issue cover girl, graced the pages and covers of all the world's top fashion magazines and is one of Victoria's Secret's top models. While talking about the launch of her new Victoria's Secret bra, the BioFit Uplift Bra, the supermodel also got candid about her relationship with sexy.
A bloated supermodel?
Karolina is single and dates all over the world, but she says all men have one thing in common: "They want a woman with a presence, who is self-confident." OK, but who among us walks around with supermodel confidence like Karolina's? She is empirically beautiful; so, of course, she is self-confident, right? "I have my days, sometimes my weeks or months, that I just don't feel great about myself. I could be bloated or, you know, that time of the month ... Whatever it is, I just don't feel like that girl in the ad or a swimsuit model at all." But the difference is, Karolina's career demands that she not only look good but feel good about herself.
"I could never go to a shoot like this, or even on a date!" So she has adopted some sure-fire ways to kick that self-doubt to the curb and grab hold of her supermodel self-confidence. And you can, too.
Karolina's steps to supermodel self-confidence
1. Two weeks prior to any big event (like a cover shoot), cut all sugar, processed foods and flour out of your diet. 2. Eat raw foods and drink water with fresh lemon. A lot of it. Raw foods can give you the energy to keep that confidence boosted.
3. Cut out dairy and salt. They make you feel bloated.
4. If you have to have some type of sweet taste in your mouth, eat fruit or try popping a lemon Riccola. The lozenge has a little sweetness but is still natural and good for you.
5. Prep your body for feeling beautiful. In this order: take a steam, get a scrub to get rid of dead skin, get a massage with essential oils to get the moisture back in, and put a little shimmer cream on that has some self-tanner in it for that sun-kissed look.
6. Wear one super-sexy thing, no matter what. Either a lingerie set, a sheer blouse, low-cut shirt or whatever highlights your best asset. If you love it, flaunt it!
7. Find your own feel-great mood music. If you have some music you know just makes you feel invincible, blast it from every speaker you have and listen to it morning to night to lift your mood and self-confidence. It will put you in the power zone.
8. You should work out for two weeks before, but if you can't, at least work out on the day of the date or event. It not only gets rid of extra water weight, but it gives you a little tone, too. Most importantly, though, it gives you a surge of "move out of the way, here I come" attitude that attracts everyone.
The facts are apparent. A go-getter attitude is going to get people more attracted to you and keep them attracted. If you act like a successful person who carries herself well and projects a sense of pride and accomplishment, look around you and see how many people you are attracting. Confidence is addicting. So get hooked.
Girl in the ad for the skirt vs. girl in the ad for the skirt
And for those of you out there who say supermodels have it easy, Karolina says in most cases you are right. But she also points out a little unknown dating dilemma. "Most women think they are being compared to the models like me or Heidi Klum, etc., in the magazines. But imagine if you had to constantly be compared with yourself." She explains, "If I'm wearing boxers to sleep, guys are, like, 'How come you aren't like how I see you in the magazine?' It can be really bad sometimes because they think that's what they should get all the time." And the comparison doesn't stop there. "I'm more revealing and more fun when I'm shooting on the set. I do more of these kind of sexy, sultry, come-get-me looks when I'm working than when I'm really under the covers," she says. "I know I need to apply it in my love life, too, because some guys say, 'You give these amazing move-over, I-am-the-hottest-thing-in-the-world looks on the set, but not with me. So who is it you are giving them to?' "
It may sound ridiculous that even one of the most stunning women in the world can lose her footing by briefly losing her foundation of moxie. Confidence is key; now go unlock your real potential.

i LOVE that 2nd Vogue cover you posted -- the one with the blue dress. that hair was HERS for the entire year ... and i absolutely adore it! now Kate Moss has the exact same hair style ---- but i think KK should go back to it. it's super fresh, and unique, and HOT!
the only thing i ever can say negatively about KK's candids, is that her hair looks sloppy. i mean, she has gorgeous, healthy blonde hair -- but most of the time it ain't styled; it's just scrunched up in a quasi-ponytail. i know she's not super high maintenance .. but i think it would do her well to go back to this wicked hairstyle for a bit.
either that or the super straight style from the Oscars (this has to be one of her absolute sexiest public appearances. just SO impossible sexy!
p.s. if anyone could please PLEASE get these pics in HQ from gettyimages -- i would be ETERNALLY grateful and i would reward with numerous praises and as much karma as i can give!

ok YA'ALL!!! i know we got more KK fans up in here than this! haha.
here are some brand new scans from ES magazine this month. there's also a great story/interview with her ... but whomever scanned the images, didn't scan that part. though if you go back a page, i think you can find a link and read the interview there.
anyway, here are the pics:
