American Supermodel

Supermodel Marisa Miller; the 'bomb shell' that set the fashion world alight by being hotter than hot , not seen since Cindy, Tyra , Gisele and Heidi.

After working with world famous photographer Mario Testino for fashion magazines like Vogue, her career took to the heavens, literally.

After 5 high profile years of working with countless top designers and photographers around the world, she became an Angel for Victoria's Secret since 2007 and never looked back since.

The comet wouldn't stop for Marisa then went on to join legendary luminaries like Christie, Elle, Tyra and Heidi, to grace the cover of the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and to record-setting numbers, no less.

This blazer fired it up even more when she ranked #1 on Maxim magazine's 2008 "Hot 100" list as well as topping FHM's global 2010 "Sexiest Women in the World" poll.

Not only that, Marisa is also the first and only girl in the history of FHM's famous annual poll to Debut at #1.

In 2009, she was chosen as the Fantasy Angel (previous years' luminaries include Tyra Banks, Gisele Bundchen , Heidi Klum and Selita Ebanks) wearing the multi-million dollar Fantasy Angel Bra. (See above)

Her accomplishments have led to her being dubbed the "return of the great American supermodel."

Indeed, the last great American supermodel was Tyra Banks

, in today's world fuelled by supermodels from Britain (Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss) , Germany (Heidi Klum), Czech (Karolina Kurkova) and of course , the all-conquering Brazilians (Gisele Bundchen, Adriana Lima, Alexandra Ambrosio, Isabel Goulart, Anna-Beatrice Barros and Isabeli Fontana et el)

And c'mon, she's clearly the successor to Heidi in the VS line up . Who also happens to be all American like Tyra.

Perfect. Like her.

Q .. strut on American Pie !!!

2 Sex-Y for This City

An expensive Thong. But so what?
Costing around S$200k dollars to make, this model wore that thong and nothing else.

She's topless because there's no apparent matching bra to go along with it.

Totally pointless right?

And so are the two poor male models pretending to prove to the world that female models are light. (They are not, btw. They are 'normal'.)

All three look constipated and weird.

(And probably, most of the time, you'd be staring that the two fellas and their perfect pecs and half wondering why's the gal sitting there anyway?)

Haven't they learnt a thing or two from the likes of Tyra Banks or Gisele Bundchen when they were wearing the multi-million dollar Fantasy Angel Bras on stage? You gotta walk-the-walk and flaunt.

Not Sit there like a jaded cunt.

LMAO. ROTF.

On a more successful note, Sex-Y In The City, the underwear show that lighted The Tent on flames for this year's SFF 2008, was a roaring success. Ok , more wolf-whistle success, I suppose.

At 39, Marcus Schenkenburg looks 10 times better than dudes half is age.

Anyhow,

Q

You're my Fantasy Angel :)

German Supermodel Heidi Klum: Fantasy Angel Bra (and panty) 2004 (US $9 million)

American Supermodel Tyra Banks: Fantasy Angel Bra (and belt) 2005 (US $11 million)

Brazilian Supermodel Gisele Bundchen: Fantasy Angel Bra (and belt) 2006 (US$10 million)

Czech Supermodel Karolina Kurkova: Fantasy Angel Bra 2007 (US$9 million)

Since we're on the topic of Victoria's Secret....
If you have an average of at least US$10 million to spare for sexy lingerie (who does? 'Cos even Mrs. Gates wouldn't spend this much to steam up Bill's glasses)
and have one hella body (pls be sure to send your pictures to my email, thank Q . LOL).

These following Diamond-encrusted bras from Victoria's Secrets' world famous

Fantasy Angel collection should suit your budget. ;-P



Every year, one Angel (a.k.a a Supermodel with a VS contract)will don the Fantasy angel bra.



Most prrrreeeeety things will stick with their EROs and Triumphs and eat their hearts out.



For me.... Thank Gawd, for a guy, I only have to Ogle !!!



LMAO.

Gisele Bundchen... getit right.

For gawd sakes, she earned US$33 million last year alone.... and is widely recognised as the Biggest Earning Supermodel of all time.

She's Brazilian-German. So get the name-pronunciation, right.

She's Gisele Bundchen.

Say

" Gizzzzelle Boooon-chen" .

OK? :-)
Even TV presenters get it wrong... sheeeesh . LOL

BTW: Catch the TV premiere of the hit movie Taxi this Saturday; IF you like cars and Gizzzelle.

As you know, I like both. LOL.

Victoria's Secret without... STARS

Tyra looking gorgeous opening the Last Show of her career.

The world-famous lingerie brand earns a whopping US$1 Billion annually in revenue . Period.

Hires 26 supermodels year after year for its famous-as-hell fashion show... Naomi, Karolina, Adriana, Alexandria, Oluchi, Fernanda, Isabelli, Anna-Beatrice, Heidi.... you name it...

In Nov 2005, the brand lost its legend of all legends.. Supermodel Tyra Banks.. marking the end of an 11-yr multi million dollar collaboration and contract ; she who is the first ever cover model on the now- world famous magazine the 'Victoria's Secret Catelog' (why famous? Try getting any magazine with a bus load of supermodels posing in next to nothing on every of its pages) , she who is The first and remains the only black model to be an Angel (contracted Victoria's Secret model; sans 4-5 other Angels, every other supermodel on the run way show is to fill the spaces so-to-speak... very expensive and sought-after spaces of course.) And there's no need to elaborate on her being the first black model on the cover of famed Sports Illustrated... on consecutive issues no less(the only model in the history of the magazine to do so) ... first and only colored Cover girl.. first girl on the GQ magazine covers....blah blah . Woo.

Well, other fans will probably say Tyra left because she wanted to concentrate more on establishing her self as a media celebrity (and darling) and not just remain as a high profile international model that she already is. Well, not far from the truth. But consider this scenario:

If the brand were to go " Tyra, we really want you to stay (which they had openly admitted that they do), we'll pay your another US$5million dollar contract to stay on. "

OK, granted, Miss Bankable probably earns A LOT more now being the producer and host to ANTM and The Tyra Banks Show.
(she's now only the 4th woman in history to be on Times 100 Most Influential People ,twice. She is now virtually room mates with Hilary Clinton, Condoleeeza Rice and Oprah)
She earned over US$30-million in 2006, alone.


Tyra saying good bye to the Wings that made her famous.

But hey, an additional five mil just to be strutting down the runway and doing photoshoots a couple of times (Damn! She wore an US$11 million Fantasy Angel diamond-studded bra; the most expensive couture outfit in fashion history, back in 2004!...) ...is good pocket money to pay the rent, you know ;op


Then this month, the brand lost yet another Icon in its ranks, Supermodel Gisele Bundchen. She who opens every show for Victoria's Secrets. She who has arguably the most perfect body in the fashion world. She who holds the record for being the highest paid model in fashion history... n that brings me to my point.... all she asked... was a 'puny' S$5mil more..... and the brand won't budge.
I mean, hellooooooo.... do they think Gisele will work for Peanuts? They probably need her more than she needs them.

Losing 2 of the biggest stars in the business .. 2 of the most famous bodies in fashion history (Naomi, Kate and Elle pls seat down).... in the matter of 2 years..bad business sense for Victoria'Secrets.

Alright, granted, these two models are very expensive commodities and the money they make can feed entire third world nations for months . And its hardly 'justifiable' to ask for more... (after all Greed is one of the Sins , right?) .

But we, normal folks, who just want pure entertainment.... can't possibly see Karolina Kurkova or Adriana Lima open every show... Alexandra Ambriosio looking all sweet and pretty all the time ..... and then there's Selita Ebanks and Isabel Goulart (god knows why and how these two even became the latest Angels! Where is Ana-Beatrice and Oluchi when you need them?! ).. erm... never mind.

Heidi Klum? If only , that is ... IF only, she ever gets out of maternity leave ... and stops getting preggy year after year....

Still, Tyra , then now Gisele .... are gone.

Last year's 'SEXY ' (Whatever) 'Justin Timberlake' showcase ... was already a little hodge podgey..
This coming 2007 Victoria's Secret fashion show....will be interesting.

Stay tuned..... and sigh your hearts out.


Tyra closing the VS show. For the very last time.
