Tiuu Kuik
Challenge 2


Part 1


Tiiu Kuik was discovered as a model in the most magical way possible. While she was at a local food fair, the owner of an agency in Estonia discovered her and sent her to work in Japan and Italy. Ever since that fateful day, Tiiu remains a top model. She was born in a far away place called Estonia, on March 16, 1987. Her height is a very long six feet, and she measures 33.5-23.5-35.5 in the United States, she also has brown hair and green eyes. If you’re a magazine fiend like me, you must have seen the Dior J’adore perfume advertisements, where Tiiu is in a haze of golden paradise. At the age of 19, she has already accomplished walking many runways for over 40 designers, and even nabbing a coveted beauty campaign (such as the CoverGirl ads that ran in 2005). The New York times say that "... [Tiiu Kuik] has attenuated limbs and skin of such lunar glow that she seems extraterrestrial."


Part 2


The last time we saw Tiiu, she was looked in the cellar with no hope of escaping. But the cellar held a secret Tiiu kept from her wicked stepmother and stepsisters. From time to time, she would find stolen moments to break away to the cellar. Inside the wall laid a small door that opened to reveal Tiiu’s hidden treasures; a photo of her mum and dad, a small bag of coins, and a dusty old music box. The music box was the most special of all treasures. Given to her by her mother (with instructions to use it when in trouble), Tiiu knew now was the right time to use it. The only problem was would the music box fail her?


She felt the cherry stained wood and gold plated buttons. The knob was turned once, twice, and Tiiu lifted the lid. The inside of the box always made her smile. Two male figurines were fussing over a woman figuring in an atelier. The Phantom of the Opera’s “Music of the Night”song poured over the two male figurines, which were now spinning around in circles frantically. Tiiu stood up from marveling at the figurines, and she forgot about her troubles. Time stood still as she danced her heart out to the music. Yet in the depths of her heart, the desire to attend the ball gnawed at her insides. She stopped dancing and sighed, realizing a silly music box would never help her tonight. In a fit of desperation she whispered to herself, “I wish I could go to the ball.” The music stopped abruptly and the music box shock violently. The two men figurines grew larger and larger until they were both real people.


00030m.jpg


Tiiu was so startled she was at a loss for words. She recovered by asking “Who are you?” The taller man said, “I am Victor.” And the shorter man said, “I am Rolf.” Both men gleefully cheered “And were your fairy godparents!” Tiiu still shocked tried to make sense of it all. She was just about to say something, when Victor interrupted her. “Don’t worry about questions dahling. We have to get you ready for the ball, and there isn’t much time!” He assured. “Now lets get started shall we?” Rolf demanded. Victor and Rolf burst into song as they fixed up a dress for Tiiu.


“Something nice, hmm”


“Something white, hmm”


Something the palest shade of Lilly”


“A little cut there”


A little sheer here”


“And don’t look so down my darling”


“We’ll make you the belle of the ball!”


00030m.jpg


Seemingly out of nowhere fabric assembled itself and wrapped around Tiiu. Each fold and crease was carefully placed, and the result was a spectacular and glorious gown. Tiiu looked at herself in a cracked mirror and was so giddy with excitement. Her dreams were coming true and she hugged both Victor and Rolf in appreciation. “How can I ever thank you?” Tiiu exclaimed. “Your mother would be so proud of you right now, that’s enough thanks.” Rolf replied. “But wait!” Victor shouted. “We must do something with your hair; it will make you shine brighter than the stars.” Victor and Rolf worked on Tiiu’s hair, first combing it with a silver brush and then plaiting it into a luxurious braid. “This is all so wonderful, but how will I get to the ball?” Tiiu wondered. Without saying anything, Rolf unlocked the cellar door and whisked her outside. A large white hot air balloon was waiting to take Tiiu away. The balloon’s ‘chauffer helped her inside and when the balloon was rising away, Victor and Rolf vanished.


 
^ What a great entry! I especially love the part where Victor and Rolf break into song, now if only they had danced too! Haha. Good job Avant Garde!
 
Mariacarla Boscono

Part I
Stats
Height: 5’9 1/2” - 177 cm.
Bust: 33” - 84 cm.
Waist: 23” - 58 cm.
Hips: 35” - 89 cm.
Hair Color: Brown (Blonde)
Eye Color: Brown/Hazel
Birthplace: Rome, Italy
Birthdate: September 20, 1980
When Mariacarla was 17, a family friend, who was a photographer, asked to take some pictures of her. He sent them to several agencies and they were interested but Mariacarla decided to stay in school and focus on that. After school was finished, she decided to go through some of the Milan agencies, and that’s when she started full time. I believe that she was 18 or 19 when she began to seriously model. She is now 25, so she has been modeling for about 6 years. Mariacarla has been in many campaigns. Several include Chanel, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Versace and Alberta Ferretti. She has walked numerous runways for each season. Mariacarla made a massive comeback when she dyed her hair blonde and cut it super short.

Part II
Mariacarla had been working all day long and she was very, very tired. The grand ball, held at the palace, was tonight. The king and queen wanted to find a suitable wife for their only son, the prince. Mariacarla’s awful stepsisters were going to the ball, of course. Her stepmother would never allow her to go to the lovely ball, although she wanted to go so badly. After her stepmother and stepsisters left for the ball, Mariacarla continued doing her chores. After a while, she became tired and went upstairs, to her room in the attic. She opened up her trunk and pulled out the ancient dress her mother wore when she was younger. Mariacarla decided to go to the ball, despite not having done all of her chores.
00760m.jpg
Mariacarla became very nervous as she walked down the staircase. She didn’t notice, but everyone stopped what they were doing, and stared at her as she made her way down the stairs. Mariacarla hoped that her stepmother would not see her when she made her way onto the dance floor. As soon as her foot stepped upon the floor, a certain boy was there to take her hand in his…

At the youthful age of 26 and already considered by many to be a legend, Ai Tominaga has taken over the modeling world by storm with her sweet porcelain and the absolutely mind blowing stomp down the runway. Starting out in Kanagawa Japan, Ai was discovered in Tokyo and shortly appeared on the cover of Vogue Japan. With her tall lean feminine form, Ai has taken the catwalks by surprise, using her piercing brown eyes to attract the attention on the runway, appearing in major shows in New York, Paris and Milan. Ai has had the honor of wearing designers from Anna Sui, Gucci, Yves Saint Lauren, Christian Dior, Michael Kors, Alexander McQueen, Kenzo and also Elie Saab. Within three short years, Ai has joined the crème de la crème, being compared to supermodels like Carmen Kass and Karolina Kurkova.

Her passion for shopping has kept her busy between fashion seasons, leading her to open her own boutique called "Deep Sweet Easy", acting as creative director, grouping the right products to sell in her boutique keeping her clientele happy.

Her print works include editorials almost every magazine in every editions. Her most noticeable work till date would be gracing the billboards of Banana Republic, her appearance as cover girl of June in the 2004 Pirelli Calendar, shot by Nick Knight and also her campaign for Gucci's Envy fragrance.

Taking a step towards the future, Ai has started to get her feet wet in an acting career. On top of appearing in countless commercials in Japan, including one for MacDonald's Fish McDippers, Ai accepted the role of Sirene in the upcoming movie version of the popular anime "Devilman" which opens in cinemas all over Japan on Ninth of October 2004.

She took a break from modeling after promotions of her movie due to her pregnancy and on Twenty Seventh of March 2005, at 10:20 a.m. Ai Tominaga gave birth to a healthy baby boy, 49.3 cm and a weight at 2925 grams.

In September 2005, Ai has once again returned to the modeling world making her first runway appearance after childbirth at the 2006 spring summer Viktor and Rolf show in Paris. And on Eighth of October 2005, Ai made a memorable strut down Kenzo's runway with her newborn. On July 27th 2006, Ai's very first autobiography will go on sale in all Japanese bookstores.

Ai the pure definition for love and kindness rushed to the ball immediatly after her many chores. When she arrived, the lights were off and suddenly, out came Ai, looking simply gorgeous after a extremely hard day of work. She looks like a dream, in her exquisite cream coloured Elie Saab gown, a precious gift from her Fairy good mother. Everyone was stunned by her breathtaking entrance, the Prince included and what so magical you may ask? Well, take a closer look.

00330m.jpg
It is Ai's own inner beauty that captivated the hearts of everyone. Even with next to no make up, Ai still managed to look beautiful for beauty is effortless for Ai. Beautiful hands are those that do deeds that are noble, good, and true while a beautiful soul will always be beautiful. Kindness is all that matters for Ai, and kindness itself leads to a natural everlasting beauty.
 
Challenge 2: Marta Berzkalna

Part I:

Marta Berzkalna is a 20 year old Latvian stunner. She was born on the 1st of May 1986 in the Latvian capital Riga. Her modeling campaign started a few years ago already, when she signed at Why Not Milan. Soon she was represented in every major modeling city: City Paris, 1 Mgmt. New York, Storm London and Traffic Spain. She first made her major runway appearnces in the Spring-Summer 2004 fashion week. But the shows she did weren't extremely huge. They ranged from Luella Bartley to Sophia Kokosalaki. But then... she dyed her hair black before the Spring-Summer 2006 show season and suddenly she was all over the place! Now she was doing shows like Prada, Dior, Marc Jacobs... she even ended up in the Prada campaign! That was Marta's big break, because after that she never left the modeling world again, considering she is still doing all the top shows. Even now, when she has dyed her hair back to brown again, she is still hot news....

Stats:

Name: Marta Berzkalna
Age: 20
Nationality: Latvian
Height: 178 cm
Shoes: 40
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Brown
Bust 83 cm
Waist: 64 cm
Hips: 90 cm
Part II:

While Marta was cleaning the house once again, her evil stepmother went to a royal ball. She was scrubbing the floor and from a distance, she could clearly hear the beautiful music being played and she could only imagine being there. Dancing amongst the crème de la crème of the society world and perhaps even dancing with the Prince Charming. Her stepsisters were all mad about him, so for Marta, the ultimate tease towards them was to dance with him. Then she shook her head and came to her senses: "I will never get there...even though I want it so much." and she cried for a while.
Suddenly she heard a sound and looked up with her wet eyes... she saw a fairy... she couldn't believe it! But she was really seeing it, and it spoke to her: "Tonight you will go to the ball and you will dance with Prince Charming." Then Marta became dizzy and suddenly she found herself in the most beautiful and sexy black dress she had ever seen. She even wore gold jewelry... And even more important, she was in the palace!

00480m.jpg


Then the unexpected happened. Prince Charming saw her and was immediatly taken by her beaty. Completely hypnotised by her, he walked up to her... all the eyes were now focused on them.... she felt the eyes of her stepmother and stepsisters and she realised her dream came true. Prince Charming asked for Marta's hand... and just then she cried again... her nose and her eyes all red. But this time, she cried not of sadness... she cried of happiness. This was going to be the most beautiful night of her life....:blush:

Isabeli goes to the ball

Isabeli Bergossi Fontana

Born:04, July, 1983
Where:Parana, Brazil
Height:177cm
Bust:86cm
Waist:60cm
Hips:89cm
Mother Agency:Women New York

Isabeli Bergossi Fontana is a Brazilian supermodel. In 1996, she made it to the finals of the Elite model look contest at age 13. In 1997 she moved from Brazil to Milan to start her modelling career. In 1999 at age 16 she appeared in the Victoria's secret catalogue. This created huge controversy as earlier Victoria's secret had stated its policy was not to sign models younger than 21. However this publicity proved beneficial for Isabeli and from then on she rose to fame. Following the Victoria's secret shoot she was signed by the likes of Versace, Ralph Lauren and Valentino. She has also modelled for the likes of Sports illustrated swimsuit issue, Marie Claire, Elle, Vogue, Another Magazine, Numero and Hapers Bazaar. She currently lives in Brazil with her son and husband tv actor and model Henri Castelli. This year Isabeli has modelled for many Brazilian designers as she wishes them to have the success she has achieved in the fashion industry. This year some of the runways she has been seen on are: Bottega Venetta, Dsquared, Versace, Dolce and Gabbana, Salvatore Ferragamo, Micheal Kors, Oscar de la Renta, Badgley Mischka, Diane Von Furstenburg, Alexander McQueen, Chanel and Celine. Some of her ads over the years include Chanel, Viktor & Rolf, Hermes, Balenciaga and Oscar de la Renta.

All scrubbed up:
00470m.jpg

The ugly sisters screamed at Isabeli to do their hair. They wouldn't keep still as they argued over who was going to dance with the handsome prince first. The evil stepmother came in "You stupid good-for-nothing child can't you see your doing their hair wrong? get out of my way!" and with that she pushed Isabeli out of the room. A distraught Isabeli ran to the attic and began to cry. It was through her sadness that Isabeli began to formulate a plan. Her invitation was in the bin so when the sisters had left Isabeli would find the invitation and steal one of the sisters dresses and quickly alter it because it would be far too big. It seemed like hours before they left but once Isabeli heard the door click shut she ran down to the bin. She started to cry again because she couldn't find the invitation. "Oh I wish I could find it!". At the sound of the word wish, out poofed Isabeli's fairy godmother. "You shall have Pat McGrath to do your makeup, Vidal Sasson to do your hair and this beautiful dress which compliments your eyes" announced the fairy godmother. This Isabeli's tears were tears of happiness.

The prince wants only her:
00280m.jpg

Isabeli gazed into the prince's eyes as they swirled around the ballroom. This is the life my father intended me to have she thought as she began to formulate a smile. The ugly sisters stood at the sides of the ballroom miffed noone wanted to dance with them let alone the prince. All night he only had eyes for our dear Isabeli.^_^

Part II.

Cinderella, Cinderella
All I hear is Cinderella, from the moment I get up
till shades of night are falling
There isn't any letup, I hear them calling, calling
Go up and do the attic and go down and do the cellar, you can do them
both together
"Cinderella."

How lovely it would be
if I could live in my fantasy
But in the middle of my dreaming
they're screaming
at me
Cinderella


J.P is sick of the abuse, the blame and the fleer. She just can’t stand it anymore… and knows, that something has to change!!


A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true




In her entire life, she has never been that excited before! When she looked in the mirror, she didn’t recognize herself anymore…
The dress, her hair.. she looked beautiful ( the fairy did a great job)! A little apprehensive, but full of expectations, she entered the hall.
The behaving from the audience, scared her! They were all looking at her mesmerised and fascinated… “Who is she?! She is gorgeous!”



Jennifer felt really uneasy, she wasn’t used to all the attention. So she gazed down shyly, but when J.P. upraised her gaze again, she directly looked in the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen.
Her prince went over to her, and asked her for a dance, of course she couldn’t refuse this offer and had the most joyful time of her life.
She never felt so secure before, and from the first moment she saw him, she knew that this must be love!

So this is love,
So this is love
So this is what makes life divine
I'm all aglow,
And now I know
The key to all heaven is mine
My heart has wings,
And I can fly
I'll touch ev'ry star in the sky
So this is the miracle that I've been dreaming of

So this is love

Belle of the Ball
Sick of dreaming of a better life, Cinderella decided to change it herself. The party of the century was happening and everyone was invited to go, which meant that even she could. So she picked out the only dress she had that seemed fitting for the occasion: her mother’s wedding dress. She went to a friend who made the necessary alterations on it. All the time Cinderella was beaming at the prospect that something incredible might happen tonight.


She strutted into the Ballroom, hoping the confidence she was trying to present would hide her anxiety. At the end of the walkway there was a person who rivaled her own beauty waiting for her: the prince. Neither knew the identity of the other but there was an instant magnetism between them that pulled them together. They danced and gazed into each other’s eyes while the room span. They were the only two people in the world… and then the clock struck 12.
