Random Facts about Models

Anyone know anything about Julia Stegner, Kim Noorda, Sophie Vlaming? :unsure: I know that Kim Noorda loves to listen to Billie Holiday and her best friend is Hana Soukupova, but I don't know any funs facts about the other two models.....:D
Sophie's guilty sin is eggplant. :unsure: There's your random fact. Less random: she plays waterpolo and loves drawing.
 
Random Facts (or something like that)


Polina Kouklina and Sasha Pivovarova like to grow and paint, as mentioned already... As far as I know their styles are very different from one another. Polina like a lot of color and Sasha likes 'moody' theme or something like that...

Polina graduated Arts School for children and wants to become an interior designer in the future. Sasha manages being a top model with studing for a degree in Russia at the same time (or at least, she used to). She's majoring in Arts, obviously...

Polina also writes, in a fairy-tale genre... I read it somewhere that she was planning to do parachute jumping also...

Dutch model Lonneke Engel speaks 5 languages. Judging by how she speaks English... It's beyond my imagination...:wacko:

Her name, by the way, is very traditional Dutch and is pronounced as Lo-ni-ka. And her last name literaly translates as an 'angel'.

She started modeling at 11 in a child model agency/devision, along with her younger sister... She then proceeded at a regular model agency, but her sister didn't... They look very different, though... Lonneke is a very destinctive brunette, while her sister has blond hair and blue eyes... And she said it somewhere that when they go out together, all boys fancy her sis...

Lonneke used to list her hobbies as piano and horses before, she also liked to knit... With her first big pay, at 15, she bought herself a horse and she knitted a blanket to lay under the saddle, herself.

She used to say that she wants to become a pilot after she finishes modeling. And she is (or was) a big fan of Robbie Williams.

Gisele has a twin sister (not identical, though). I think, everybody knows that...

Hmm... what else? Eugenia Volodina and Polina Kouklina are big readers...

Natalia Vodianova doesn't even have a high school diploma (though, I don't think it says anything about her intelectual potential). I remember she said it somewhere that she was already on her way to go to Paris, besides, the school she went to must've been a real sh*t hole). But, she actually was a straight-A student until the fifth or the sixth grade or something. She wanted to become a nursery teacher before... Now she wants to become an actress when she finishes modeling.

Anne V. actually was a straight-A student throughout her school days.

Adriana Lima is or was very religious and wanted to become a nun (to be honest with you, I have difficulties believing this :innocent:).

Alessandra Ambrosio is into surfing. Her favorite place for vacation is Bali.

Mariacarla Boscono wants to launch for own magazine in the future.

Where did you learn these Polina-facts? (I know, I'm hopeless... :D )

I heard that both Gisele and Karolina Kurkova are actually older than they say they are. I heard the same about Sasha Pivovarova.

Yup, from as many times as I heard that, Vlada's real name is different, I believe...


As to height, I'm sure that these models are 5'8 at the most, but, more likely even shorter...

Natalia Vodianova
Polina Kouklina
Sasha Pivovarova
Mona Johannesson
Valentina Zeliaeva
Jeisa Chiminazzo (maybe)
Ruslana Korshunova

Oh, I picked them from all over the place, over the years, they're not all from the same source, of course... Just something I've heard here and there...

I've been trying to find that British mag in my stock of magazines, where she says she's gonna do parachute jumping... I'm sure, I had it somewhere... But, I didn't manage to, so far... Yay, that's what you get from having way too many fashion magazines...

By the way, as to her paintings, she was asked to do some for a fashion shoot once... I posted those in her thread long time ago...B) :flower:

Yes, from Russian Vogue... (if I remember correctly).

I've never managed to get on hold with any mags that would have any sort of interviews with her... *sigh* :(

I'm not talking about the interviews as much as little features, where they ask models some quick questions...

Caroline's sisters are older, actually. I have them friended on my Orkut.
 
More random facts...

Noot Sear's full name is Noot Renata Sear

Anouck Lepere went to university with Dries van Noten and Oliver Theyskens

Valentina Zeliaeva had actually done some minor modeling in Russia, before she was 'discovered' living in Brazil... (I'm not sure if people knew that). Some of her pictures are still at her Russian agency's web-site, though I'm sure they're not her agency anymore... I came across those pics ones and posted them in her thread...

She is also within the Brazilian models's crowd as much as she is within the Russians's. Or even more...

Elena Baguci is a former gymnast... She was probably good, since she was offered to be a part of Cirque du Soleil... But she chose to model...

Kristina T. (the former face of Miu Miu) works as a journalist sometimes. She had her articles published in some of the top fashion magazines. She has also had an episode in a movie - IMDB

Daria Werbowy wants to try acting when she finishes modeling... She has put a limit for herself - to be out of industry by the age of 27, as has already been said... She also likes to draw/paint and is way not bad...


Kind of well-known ones, but still...

Heather Marks is a former athlet. She attended a special school for junior athlets in her native Canada.

Gemma Ward has an older sister who also models. They look nothing alike, though... Gemma used to surf a lot when she lived in Australia as been mentioned. I think her sister's name is Sophie Ward and she wants to become a writer in the future. They also have two brothers.

Mariacarla's current boyfriend is a son of the editor-in-cheif of Vogue Paris. Her former boyfriend was a digital artist.

Eugenia Volodina was in a relationship with her scout/manager.

Also, she has an older sister, who looks a lot like her, and who also tried to become a model when she was younger, but nothing really came out of this. Eugenia also has 2 brothers, as I can remember... She's the youngest of 4 siblings, I believe... For more correct info, check Eugenia's thread. :flower:

Both Adriana Lima and Karolina Kurkova are (or were) dating some minor Royals... Or maybe, not so minor... I won't be able to recall their names, though... Not even the countries each of them belongs to... Bad memory...:huh:
But I have a feeling that Karolina is somehow related to Spain in that way... I'm not sure, though...

Natalia Vodianova likes to holiday in Uruguay.

She and husband are planning to move to England by the time their son Lucas is to go to school. And, she said in an interview that she likes British people much more than Americans...:ninja:

Carmen Kass is involved in politics in her native Estonia. Dunno what party she's associated with, though... And she likes to play chess.

Alessandra Ambrosio has said she wants to become a cardio surgeon in the future.

Also, she was once offered to be a host of some youth/music tv project in America, hence her English is great, but she declined, 'cos the contract she was offered put many limitations on her job as a model.

By the way, when asked where she learned to speak such good English once, she said "in Japan".


More rumour/gossip...

Natalia Vodianova, a 24-year-old mother of two, is planning her next pregnancy soon...


That's it, so far... Can't think of anything else... And my brains are off...:wacko:


Great idea for a thread, by the way !
 
alessandra ambrosio had her ears tucked back when she was 11 years old,because they were huge like dumbo's,and everyone was teasing her in sch abwt it.
and her body couldn't get used to the stitches and stuff,so she had to go to plastic surgeon every day after school for 2years.
 
tyra loves to paint also before..and she claims to be good in basketball..and she loves eating ketchup by itself..she's taking kickboxing classes now..

i wonder why many models paint and play basketball
 
More of a random agency fact I suppose, but Milano agencies never lie about height.

As for why models play baskteball- it's a really great way to get lean muscle. And, they are tall enough for it!

I heard that too, but they actually really do from what I've seen, maybe just not as much as the others. Just look at whynotmodels.com ^_^

Shes got great taste.

Lonneke (sp?) is dating David Blaine. (For those of you who dont know, David Blane is that idiot who tried to break the world record for holding his breath underwater and prepared by living in a fishbowl for a week and ended up not breaking the record. I hope this is a rumour!)
