Which Model(s) Have You Met In Person?

[tortoisie]

Ok... here goes my annoying list of questions/comments on all the people you met! Hope you don't mind! (those are just what i think from looking at runway & backstage pics)

Trish Goff - Kind of boring personality. Doesn't seem too bright.

what do u mean by don't seem too bright? dumb? not intelligent? anywayz, trish does seem boring, even in print right? Her pictures doesn't really interest me!

Tiiu Kuik - Tallest model I've ever met. Beautiful skin. Really really sweet... kind of shy at first, but has great sense of humor.

Yeah... she does have lovely skin even in pictures! Man, i wonder what it's like to see that lovely skin in REAL LIFE!

Angela Lindvall - Nice, all american. I get the sense that she really loves what she does, but doesn't want to appear like she really loves... who knows.

hahaha... that's too funny!

Ujjwala Raut - what a beauty! Really really striking. And a firecracker personality to match!

Firecracker personality?

Daria Werbowy - Extrememly down to earth... super nice and sweet... has a kind of skater chick personality/vibe.

i'm so glad to know. Maybe she'll slip up my list now just because of that lovely personality!

Hana Soukupova - very beautiful and tall but very very skinny. Very sweet... her english isn't very strong, but she's still very nice. young.

Have never heard her English, but can't wait to hear Hanka speak!

Caroline Winberg - very sweet, bright personality. chatterbox.

Chatterbox! She does seem very full of life in backstage pics!

 

[tortoisie]

Isabeli Fontana - nice and sweet... not very talkative.

Really? I always thought Isabeli is one of the talkative Brazilians!

Karolina Kurkova - you can tell she loves herself. She talks a mile a minute... and talks ALOT. I wouldnt' say she's the nicest or the most genuine.

really? does she do that? I saw that models.com video where she's just fanning herself and not talking to the camera, so i just got the impression she doesn't like talking to the camera or sth, but i guess i was just wrong.

Marija Vujovic - She doesn't appear very friendly at first, but I think that's just her natural expression. She's actually very very sweet and cool.

really? I would have thought she's not that nice from backstage pics too!

Naomi Campbell - Diva. Cordial but seems to always be in a rush.

I wonder where she's going!

Tyra Banks - very nice. not affected by stardom at all.

I've been watching ANTM and man, she seems annoying everyweek, not very genuine just by the comments she gives to the girls. I don't know.

Nicole Trunfio - nice girl.... kinda rock chick type.

Yeah... She seems that way from backstage pics. But she came off as Shy from the reality TV search!

Jeisa - quiet.

really? that's sad!

Carmen Kass - not too warm. overconfident...

That's sad! I had good images of her on my head!

Frankie Rayder - exactly how you'd expect her to be. full of life... likes to laugh... kind of chatty...

that's ly! I'm glad she's so genuine!

Cameron Russell - really really wholesome all american girl. very sweet. very smart. has big hopes to go to an Ivy League school...

I thought Cameron is from Australia?

Luca Gadjus - ice queen.

really? but she seems so cute backstage! Shame!

Polina Kouklina - very nice... not too tall. great english.

I'd love to hear Polina talk? She's so awesome! Is she as cute as she appears from backstage pics? and i can't believe Polina is 5'8! But man, she's gorgeous!

Thanks, Nueva!

lady_grey, does Janice Dickenson look as plastic as she is on ANTM? Thanks!

 

[iperlchen]

I'm quite surprised that Isabeli is really that tall, I thought she'd be around 5'8. She looks pretty short to me when strutting the catwalk.

lady_grey, does Janice Dickenson look as plastic as she is on ANTM? Thanks!

janice was one of the first models i ever saw. she was still modelling at the time. many people dont understand or want to admit that at the time she was among the 5 most successful models in the world.
she made a huge impression on me before I even knew much about models or read fashion mags. in some ways she was 1 of the sexiest models that ever lived.
btw in the march vogue, theres a picture of suzy parker & the writer calls her 'the first supermodel.'
suzy was extremely famous years before my/our time, but the key thing is, its a RELATIVE/subjective statement to says 'who is the 1st supe'
which means philosophically, Janice has EVERY RIGHT to claim that title- and she deserves it as much as parker, carol alt, marisa berenson or cheryl tiegs. thats how big janice was.
if I had to pick, Id say twiggy was the first supe, but vogue just said it was parker, so the timeline is flexible.

I've met Lily Cole. She's a really nice person. My friend's sister's friend is really good friends with her and she lives nearby. And I've seen Kate Moss and Lizzie Jagger out nearby a few times but I haven't spoken to them.

That's lovely

Christy Turlington -she was doing some promo at Selfridges for Sundari a few years back. She told me not to use Clinique which my parents had been telling me for ages but did I listen to them?... no! Did I listen to her?... Haven't touched the stuff since and now realise how harsh and horrid it is. She just glows in person.

SiennaInLondon, just out of interest, what brand do u use now? I was just going to buy more Clinique! Thanks for that tip, though!

and thanks for that explanation, lady_grey! i must admit Janice does look nice for some1 in her 50s! I think i have to check out more of her pics!

Shalom Harlow - so very nice and polite. The most polite and gracious model I've probably ever met.

Cool! Shalom comes across as so, so cool and funny and intelligent in her interviews, so I'm glad she's the same way in real life!

Has anyone here met MEGAN EWING or AI TOMINAGA? I'd love to know more about them, if possible.

i saw ai tominaga on the M31 bus a couple of years ago. she was prettier to me in person than in any picture. she wore faded jeans that made her look tall & slim. and a hot lavendar bomber jacket that was so cute.

and i saw christy turlington at the tunnel nightclub in the 90s. this was in the unisex bathroom/vip [!!!] area & she was making out with SEAL!! does heidi know about this? anyway she had no make up on - her features are of course amazing yet I was still somewhat disapointed that she didnt look quite as heavenly as in all her mag pics. [at this time she may have been my fave model]. plus she was wearing a cream sundress kind of thing that was very full & very long & didnt complement her figure too much but still she was fairly tall & perfectly slim. this would probably be about 3: or 4: am. the friday night tunnel parties were some of the most debauched i ever attended.

I've never really MET anyone... but I've seen Adina Fohlin and Emma Sjöberg on the street. Adina was standing talking to a woman, and she looked all natural and gorgeous... she was dressed in a top and jeans, and her eyes and skin looked amazing. really eye-catching.
Emma Sjöberg I think lives near my school, both my and my friends have seen her around that area. when I saw her she looked kinda tired and washed-out, with a huge sweater and casual pants...

I'm quite surprised that Isabeli is really that tall, I thought she'd be around 5'8. She looks pretty short to me when strutting the catwalk.

I'm surprised as well. In the Isabeli thread, a member who knows her personally said she is 5'6, plus one of her agencies listed her as 5'9,so how could she possibly be 5'10??

 

[oomarhatelier]

i've meet many models in milan this week!
daria w.
carmen kass
gemma w.
isabeli
eugenia
natasha poly
and other

i have to say that the most friendly was CARMEN KASS and Daria, with me carmen was really nice, when i did the photo with my mobile, i forgot to take off the zoom, and when we saw the foto was orrible, very big, we saw our front! ahahah
so, she though that i was embrassed and she said very sweet: "if u want i can take the picture!" very very nice! and daria is wonderful like bauty but, more like person!!!

 

[oomarhatelier]

for now i have only this.. me and daria

I'M SORRY! ANYONE KNOW THIS MODEL?SHE MAKES ME CRAZY, SHE'S BEAUTIFUL!

 

[PussyLee]

MICHELLE BUSWELL.....but too bad she got a lot of look, probably depends on her make-up artist. But sometimes she's a stunner, sometimes not. She doesn't have a signature look ( ala Linda E ). She's a total chameleon with no real identity ( example, Linda's nose )

 

[fashion_victim]

I'M SORRY! ANYONE KNOW THIS MODEL?SHE MAKES ME CRAZY, SHE'S BEAUTIFUL!

That's Doutzen Kroes. There's a thread on her...

 

[SiennaInLondon]

Is that Michelle? If so yeah she is a chameleon! I thought it was Doutzen for a minute

 

[fullfrontal]

^^^
Me too! Great idea for a thread! Can anyone tell me what Erin Wasson is like please??

I met Erin in a club a couple of months ago (NYC). She's sooo adorable and she looks very young. Not like the sexy siren that we see on the runway, ads, etc.

She was really cool and she seemed surprised (maybe) that I knew her...I'm laughing now thinking about our conversation.

It seems that a lot of models don't expect people to know who they are. So when you do, they are totally appreciative.
