she looks GORGEOUS there. so completely refined and elegant and classy. loving the hair and makeup and love that she's showing off those famous legs.

i'm hoping there's a second event where we'll see the women in the calendar this year all together (KK, Ale, Miranda, Helena & Isabeli)
 
WTF?!???! Surely that's an error in the HuffPost article. There's no way they would go through the effort and expense of getting together two MAJOR photographers and 6 MAJOR models and then throwing out the resulting images. From the previews, the photos of KK, Ale, Isabelia, Miranda, Alek and Helena looked incredibly beautiful.

I have to assume that they'll be releasing the 2014 Calendar as planned, and additionally releasing the 1986 one as a very special edition or perhaps as an addition to this year's.

Soooo....

the photoshoot we saw earlier of KK, Ale, Miranda, Alek, Helena and Isabeli for Pirelli was apparently actually just a special pre-shoot. They really ARE going with the 1986 re-release instead. Can't believe it!!

Here's more info, via Refinery:

"We reported back in August that the 2013 Pirelli calendar was underway, with a teaser shot by Patrick Demarchelier and Peter Lindbergh featuring models Miranda Kerr, Alek Wek, Helena Christensen, Alessandra Ambrosio, Isabeli Fontana, and Karolina Kurkova in Risky Business uniforms. However, those photos seemed to be used just for an ancillary shoot, and the real 2013 calendar, which is the 50th anniversary issue, will instead be a 27-year-old photo shoot.

Shot by Helmut Newton, the calendar was never released in 1986 because there were two competing shoots — a British production involving Bert Stern and an Italian one with Newton. However, Newton had "to step down due to personal problems [involving] urgent family business." And, in the end, Stern's version was the released issue that year. Newton's has since remained unseen in the archives, until this year when it was reconstructed for distribution. Models Susie Bick, Antonia Dell'atte, and Betty Prado pose in Monte Carlo's Grand Prix among Pirelli tires — the brand's first foray into conspicuous product placement.

Why the last-minute bait and switch with calendars? Especially considering the huge caliber of both models and photographers? Pirelli states that the Lindbergh and Demarchelier portraits were a special shoot "to celebrate the anniversary" (British Vogue reported that the shoot acted as a preview to the actual calendar). For a giant company like Pirelli to rerelease an unheard-of issue for such an important anniversary without the sort of priming and teasing beforehand...well, it all sounds as fishy as Newton's last-minute "urgent family business." We've reached out to Pirelli for a comment, and they responded, "The Lindbergh / Demarcheiler photos released earlier this year was a special tribute shoot organized as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations for The Cal. This was a separate initiative to the release of the 2014 Calendar that has just been announced, being the unpublished 1986 Helmut Newton calendar. [We] decided to unveil this edition in this landmark year given Newton's iconic stamp on the fashion/photography worlds — and another cool coincidence is that the 1986 edition is actually usable as a Calendar in terms of dates lining up (for instance if the 1st September was a Sunday in 1986 it will be the same in 2014)." We'll give them that — it's a cool coincidence indeed! Click through for five teaser shots from the actual calendar."
 
A Conversation With Supermodel Karolina Kurkova

Top model and television personality Karolina Kurkova talks about being real, Botox and bedtime stories.

When I wake up... I drink my hot water with lemon.

Before I go to bed... I read my son a bedtime story.

A well-dressed man... exudes confidence, elegance and charm without being cocky.

Women should always... look neat and clean.

Men should never... wear square-toed shoes and white tennis socks with sandals.

The best thing that's been said about me... is that I am nice and funny.

The biggest misconception about me... that supermodels are not nice.

If I weren't doing what I'm doing today... I would be an archaeologist.

My legacy... that people will remember me as funny, real and passionate.

A great idea... is when it gives you butterflies.

Botox is... rat poison.

My mother... is Mother Theresa meets Grace Kelly meets Elizabeth Taylor.

The soundtrack of my life... something that's alive, upbeat and happy meets something that's mysterious and quiet and intense.

The future... is a mystery.

Happiness... is when you are at peace with yourself.

There's a time and place for... everything.

There is too much... sugar, wheat and gluten.

In the end... it doesn't really matter.
