Supermodel and plastic

Supermodel Karen Mulder has been arrested for making 'threatening' phone calls to a plastic surgeon.

The 39-year-old star was questioned at a Paris police station after calling the medic and reportedly demanding for a previous operation to be reversed.

A detective said: 'She was screaming and shouting about the operation and became extremely threatening. There were repeated calls to the female surgeon who was extremely scared.

The suspect is being interviewed.'Karen was arrested at about 10am yesterday (30.06.09) and taken to a station in the fashion district of the French capital city.Another police source has claimed the model had been 'stalking and making repeated violent telephone threats' to the surgeon.

The source added: 'Miss Mulder was accompanied to a police station in Paris after a complaint was made against her.'She is being interviewed by detectives and is expected to be released on bail.'Her phone records are being checked. It is not yet known if any charges will be brought.

'Karen made her name in the 80s and 90s, and was paid £10,000 for a day's work at one point.She gave up modeling in 1998 after saying she could no longer bear to be photographed.

In 2001, she claimed politicians and policemen had used her and others in her profession as sex slaves.

She also falsely alleged she had been raped by Monaco's Prince Albert.

She had depression and received treatment at a psychiatric hospital, then explained her problems were a result of an addiction to drugs when she was a model.

In 2002, she took an overdose of sleeping pills and was left in a coma.

She appeared on the catwalk in 2007 at a Christian Dior show alongside Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Stella Tennant and Helena Christensen.

Beauty and Tragedy

A 20-year-old model who was a finalist to represent Brazil in the Miss World contest has had her hands and feet amputated after contracting a severe urinary infection, media reported Wednesday.

Mariana Bridi da Costa was sedated in a hospital in Serra, in Brazil's state of Espirito Santo, and on artificial respiration following the procedures, according to several dailies.

Bridi was diagnosed with a infection by the Pseudomonas aeroginosa bacterium, which can often prove fatal. Septicemia set in in her limbs, cutting off circulation and forcing doctors to amputate.

Her boyfriend, Thiago Simoes, told the G1 news website that Bridi fell ill on December 30, but was initially misdiagnosed with kidney stones.

The infection quickly spread, causing her to go back to hospital for tests that revealed her condition. Surgeons had to act to remove her damaged hands and feet.

Her father, Agnaldo da Costa, told the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper that "the concern is over her life."



Bridi twice made it into the national finals for the Miss World contest, and last year traveled to China to participate in the Miss Bikini International paegant, G1 said.

Some one so young. So beautiful. So vivacious and full of life. Full of ambition and drive.

Struck down by something so tragically unimaginable. Even she herelf would have thought that a car accident was a billion times more likely.

What is life to her now?

Q .... count our blessings and give thanks to everyday when we wake up a live and go to bed in peace.

Anything can happen. Anything. Even to the most beautiful.

Wedding Day

One of the most famous couples in the world debuted their smouldering duet 'Wedding Day' on Seal's latest album 'System', at the 2007 Victoria's Secret Show.

The duet's a gem.

Not the all-hyped-up shake ya booty 'biggest-duet-there-ever-was' or a 'we're singing about love but we're really talking dirty here' or 'we really really are mushing to hell about the big L-O-V-E' type of ditty.

But a cool, new-agey , laid-back sophistication that wafts along a tremendously well-written, well-arranged song that reflects a true sense of their chemistry, relief and happiness together.

No romping or flirting. Only a gentle sense of caressment and eye-to-eye.

As beautiful as the Angel's it serenaded that night.

Q

> Never too late to talk about a great song.

Celebrating Oriental Beauty

The Caucasian standard for beauty has been a benchmark for women all over the world for decades.

But

2007 marks the acceptance of Oriental Beauty on the World stage.

Apparently.

Miss Universe 2007 is from Japan, 20-year old Riyo Mori.


And recently,

Miss World 2007 is from China, 23-year-old Zhang Zhi Li


But is this just another beauty 'in-season' obsession? A passing fad and fancy?

Observe the trend on the world stage for Beauty pageants:

The late 80's were the white Americans of A . The early 90's were the African-Americans of A. The mid 90's marked the dominance of South American Beauties . The late 90's and early 2000's were the Indians. Now, the Orientals?

What next? South East Asians? :-P

Woo!!!

PS: Although, I have a sneeky suspicion that Miss China won the Miss World this year, purely on the basis of political clout. The pageant itself was held on Hainan Island, China. The 2008 Olympics is in China too.

Hint hint.

So what if she's the tallest gal in the competition? Still only a giraffe will get onto the cover of National Geographic.


Miss Angola shud have won. She's the hot one. ^^
