Talking to Miranda Kerr is like talking to an oracle, or a sort of ancient goddess. She's so perfect, balanced and elegant, with her big pale eyes and sweet, petite features, that she doesn't look human, if it were not for the earthly, maternal air that is more than just a product of her pregnancy, now in its final stages. Her first child is due this very month. Miranda and her husband, Hollywood superstar Orlando Bloom, chose not to find out whether the baby will be a boy or a girl. "As long as it's healthy, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl". In either case it's sure to be a much-loved child: "We'll do our best to be loving, present parents. After all, I lived in a family like that, and I'm very thankful for it, and will do everything I can to offer my child the same thing".
Miranda is such a natural beautyOh, that's cool.^ Wonder who shot that.
I've been waiting for them to work together for a long time! Miranda fits in p e r f e c t l y with his eerily vivid photography.
I hope they get to work together more in the future. Same.I will be so disappointed if she quits modelling all together. Unrightfully and selfishly so, but disappointed none the less.


Talk to Miranda Kerr is like talking to an oracle, or some sort of ancient deities.
She 's so perfect, balanced, elegant, with big blue eyes and facial features minutes and sweet, she doesn’t even look human, except for that earthly and maternal air of her own, and not just for pregnancy, now in its final stage. Just this month, in fact, her first born boy will be born. Of first born girl: Miranda and her husband, Hollywood superstar Orlando Bloom, did not want to know the sex of the baby. “What matters is that he/she is healthy, no matter whether male or female”. Anyway, there is to be expected that will be a loved child: “We will do our best to be loving and present parents. Besides, I've lived in a family like that, for which I am grateful, and I will do everything to ensure the same thing to my baby”. Always a champion of healthy and natural lifestyles, Miranda is not one of those women who fear the changes of the body during the fateful nine months: “ I am enjoying pregnancy, and all that entails. Changing everyday fascinates me, like feeling the little life growing in me. I consider myself very lucky”. And she is: she is one of the most famous top models in the world, portrayed by all the great photographers, she has reached the highest goals of fashion and beauty and she has its own line of natural products for skin, Kora Organics by Miranda Kerr. “ My passion is health, well-being. I have tested hundreds of products, but I couldn’t find the one that contained all the ingredients I wanted gathered. In Kora’s treatments the various components work together and enhance each other”. She wrote a book then, “Treasure Yourself”, about the importance of a healthy lifestyle and acceptance for what you are. And, last but not least, her child has as father one of the most charming and desirable men in movie industry. All this at 27 years old. Like a fairy tale, better than in a fairy tale, Miranda has come to have it all: career, love, family. Was she ever surprised about this? “Of course. I am immensely happy with my life and my experiences. It’s like I’m protected by a blessing. However, no matter who you are, what or how much you have: we all have our daily battles and our obstacles to overcome. This is life. What matters is how we deal with challenges: we can choose to accept them, learn and grow through them, or we can let them drag us down. It is up to ourselves to create the life we want”. What Miranda desires, ultimately, is simple, and includes a house powered by solar energy, a vegetable garden and a hammock. This is not a recent thought, understandable when all the targets have been achieved. “I always loved simplicity in life. It is there, on the hammock and in the garden, that I see myself, one day”. Simplicity, however, would also mean to close with modelling career, feel sooner or later the lack of reflectors, especially since the risk for her is to transform from “Miranda Kerr” into “the wife of Orlando Bloom”. “I am who I am. Being in the spotlight or not cannot change the state of things”. Meanwhile, she is still the most loved Australian of America and she embodies the ideal of the girl next door. “I’m glad that people consider me accessible, not intimidating for anyone. I’m glad being in my skin”, she says, almost as if she is reciting a mantra. Which obviously works, given the results. Everything seems to flow, and she is proud not to have any regret: “Every decision I made was an opportunity for growth and part of the learning process”, she says about her career. That, however, something cost to her: she began working as a model at 14 years old, moving to Australia to New York and giving up adolescence, as often happens in this job. No cheerleading at football matches, shopping with classmates, or proms. How do you get through all of this? What is her secret to success and happiness? “Embrace every moment. Being really present and enjoying every step during the way”. Living so intensely in the “here and now”, her priority now cannot be other than “carry on her pregnancy healthy, and arrive to a conscious birth”. After the birth, and before the hammock and the garden, Miranda has some intermediate target, accommodating with her being a mother. For example, “let known about my product line. Sure, through the website is available worldwide, but I would like to distribute it in stores also”. She reflects, and then adds: “and I would like that my book was translated in many languages”. In all her interviews, including this, she appears confident, balanced, wise. But there is nothing that scares her? “To me, life is not to be feared, but to be enjoyed”. Miranda Kerr appears to have always the right answer to each question. She smiles: “I do not think we are right or wrong answers, only differences of opinion”.

Modeling is what keeps her relevant.
And I'm actually curious as to how she's going to go on with her plans to extend her skincare line and book globally if she takes modeling out of the equation.Modeling is what keeps her relevant.
Simplicity, however, would also mean to close with modelling career, feel sooner or later the lack of reflectors, especially since the risk for her is to transform from “Miranda Kerr” into “the wife of Orlando Bloom”.
