So Bundchen is the world's #1 paid model, making like $15 million a year and I'm scratching my head wondering why. I don't even think she's that great looking.

She has gotten old. Her body used to be insane, not sure about now. I think she just demands a lot more money than other models and it is more due to name recognition and star power than anything else.

"I think she just demands a lot more money than other models and it is more due to name recognition and star power than anything else."

Exactly.

That's why she dates celebrities.

If she wasn't all about the fame and dough, she would probably date me.

I have never thought she was as fly as everyone made her out to be.

Her and Kate Moss are really boring to me. Olivia Wilde, Helena Cristensen...the MILFY girl from Bangbus....thats the stuff right there

She is not good looking at all.

The thing about the fashion industry is that they decide what is hot and sell it to you.

The stupid buy it. I don't.

She is not hot and neither is kate moss.

Most catwalk models have very un-attractive figures. Like sticks. No arse. No nice hip to waist ratio.

I'd hit it.


In all seriousness though, she has one hell of a marketing campaign behind her, because I'd heard the name Gisele before I could even place a face to the name.

Yep. Really like any "industry".

So, I don't get it, you wear handwoven rags or something?
There is no escaping it unless you are making your own threads, your own sheets of fabric, and sowing everything yourself.
Whether you want to play down the look or play it up, you're still dealing with the "industry".

In life you're dealt with many people trying to sell you their things, and these people are good because they give you options. If it weren't for the fashion industry, we would wear what? Sheep skin?

So would I! But I can think of at least 5 other Brazilian models I'd like to run through first.

I always thought Laeticia Casta was the hottest Victoria's Secret model back when she was in her prime.

She is glam. Period.

And has she is a model example.

A lot of models have those type of lips like you see on Laeticia Casta. I hate those kind of lips, they look all collagen injected.

Wtf is up with that chick's face? hah

Whenever I see a girl buttered up like that, I can't help but remember Kramer in that Seinfeld episode where he gets baked like turkey buttering himself up and laying out in the sun.

She also has fucked up teeth, but her body was just ridiculous.

Agreed. She is not as hot as everyone thinks.
