Kerr's bloom wilts under the heat of catty comments

"Aquarium wall" ... how a US article described Miranda Kerr's personality. Photo: Getty Images
IT WAS only back in August when PS was accused of suffering from tall poppy syndrome after documenting Miranda Kerr's slightly divaesque behaviour, from instructing photographers how to shoot her and erecting her own mini marquee backstage during the David Jones fashion extravaganza.

This week Kerr, who is back in Australia for Christmas with her baby son, Flynn, and husband, Orlando Bloom, discovered tall poppy syndrome was not exclusive to these shores.

Kerr was comprehensively skewered across the pages of New York magazine after agreeing to give an interview in the lead-up to the recent Victoria's Secret parade.

Under the headline ''178 Minutes With Miranda Kerr'', the model's personality was described as being like an ''aquarium wall'' .

Authors Amy Odell and Jada Yuan interviewed Kerr as she was being transformed into a Victoria's Secret Angel, considered the holy grail of modelling in the US.

They wrote: ''Observed in her natural habitat, model Miranda Kerr, 28, is less a person than a production.

''Staring in at Kerr through the aquarium wall of her personality are two film crews shooting a Victoria's Secret CBS special; a line of photographers; a layer of reporters; publicists; personal assistants; agency representatives; Victoria's Secret spokespeople; costume makers bearing feathers, sequins, and tulle; make-up artists with brushes at the ready; and a lone bodyguard who never takes his eyes off Kerr's $US2.5 million Fantasy Treasure Bra.''

'' 'This old thing?' she says, batting her eyelids and cooing to no one and everyone in her native Australian lilt. Someone tells Kerr that she's wearing 142 carats of diamonds. 'A hundred and forty-two carats of diamonds?' she says, flashing the cameras a dimpled smile.''

But Kerr does herself no favours, especially when she is quizzed about her self-help book Treasure Yourself, in which she advises young women on self-esteem issues, and how she reconciles that with being a genetically blessed supermodel.

Odell and Yuan write: ''She doesn't see how the Victoria's Secret catalogue could possibly cause anyone self-esteem issues: 'I can't feel bad about being who I am, just like the girl next to me can't feel bad about being who she is. Because a rose can never be a sunflower, and a sunflower can never be a rose.'' lol at the rose comment

I'm going to assume that's been taken out of context.

Also uh, wtf is 'aquarium wall' meant to be? She's shiny and full of fish?

 

[balmain]

^ It's probably supposed to mean that her personality is vacuous, that you can see right through her or something. Probably supposed to be a typical representation of a model or whatever.

 

[tarsha]

Would you have the interview that goes with the pictures?

Unfortunately not yet.

 

[agee]

I think that Miranda can be a bit repetitive and superficial in interviews and may even be a bit full of herself, although I agree that she is also asked the same questions over and over, however I actually think that she showed more personality and charm in the NYMag interview than many of her other interviews. I wondered if the interviewers had preconceived notions about her probably from their "research," especially that interview not too long ago in an Australian magazine and also probably wanted to make their interview pop, so it seemed like they may have pre-meditated the aquarium wall angle. My question is if they had three hours with her why did they not dig deeper, like this "the world is our home" jazz or getting more details on some aspect of her life like her and Orlando's parenting roles. If two writers had three hours with her, and even if she was doing other stuff, then that is also on them that they did not get deeper stuff.

 

[miniris]

^completely true!

 

[Ernestine]

don't know why everybody keeps fussing about the interview. yes, it was critical and a bit negative. why make a big deal out of it?

everytime I watch or read an interview that has anything to do with VS I cringe. it's always the same "I feel so special to be here and I feel so pretty!" - even from models that I really like. I think it's part of the contract with VS to sound as dumb and shallow as humanly possible in these interviews.

and it's only clever from Miranda NOT to spill her private live to journalists!

 

[agee]

I am not getting that Miranda is all that private, especially since I know that Orlando urinated in a cup when Miranda was in labor. I think that Miranda is just selective with who she will spill what to, and she is not going to give something juicy to some publication / blog with a low circulation so she probably puts herself in superficial mode. And as previously stated the shallowness is also facilitated by the bloggers / reporters asking the same questions.

And Vogue.com posted an article on Kora.

Model Skin Care: Miranda Kerr’s Kora Organics Line
by Chioma Nnadi

Kerr has gone back to her roots, with a new skin-care line, Kora Organics by Miranda Kerr, inspired by her family’s own health and beauty remedies. A play on the word core, the concept for Kora ties into Kerr’s holistic approach to well-being—nourishing the body “from the inside and outside,” as she puts it. Along with natural ingredients like rose-hip oil, olive oil, and pomegranate, the secret to her line is Noni juice, an elixir said to aid cell renewal, which is made from a fruit indigenous to Tahiti, that Kerr has been drinking daily since she was a teenager. “I used to put it on my skin if I had a pimple or sunburn. It’s like food for the skin,” she says. Indeed, it is featured throughout the range of the line, in products from her Blemish Gel and Hydrating Day and Night Cream, to a gentle, paraben-free Essential Body Wash, which she uses to bathe her eleven-month-old son, Flynn.

Kora has been a huge hit since debuting in Australia in 2009, and stateside, fans like Gwyneth Paltrow will soon be able to shop her Ecocert–certified products locally as well as online. Manhattan dermatologist Dr. David Colbert will stock her range in his sleek Flatiron office, and Kerr is in talks with several department stores as well.

“I was really the guinea pig for Kora; I tested everything,” says Kerr, who had each formula flown to her from the organic laboratory in Melbourne where it was developed. The Rejuvenating Foot Balm proved exceptionally fun to try out. “Being on my heels all the time, I wanted to create a cream to put on after a long day,” she says. “And it doesn’t hurt that my husband, Orlando, is very good at massaging it into my feet.”

I wonder if the pricing will be any better once it's launched in the states. Probably not, but one can always hope. At least there won't be an extra $30 slapped on for shipping.
