NY Times asked her about technology and her answers were unexpected and pretty hilarious:

What is the best gadget you have played with? PlayStation and Xbox.

What is your favourite Xbox or PlayStation game? ‘Need for Speed – Most Wanted’.

Do you have an iPod and what is on it?For sure. Robbie Williams.

What is your get up and go song? ‘Temperature’ by Sean Paul.

Does YouTube mean anything to you? No, is that like a cartoon?

If you had to choose Internet or TV, what would it be and why? Definitely TV. The Internet bores me as there is just too much clicking. *But don't hold that against her bloggers*

Why not show her purty face?

Hmm, what's the point of using a celebrity then? Natasha Poly could have done the same thing and looked ... long? Shame shame. But ethereal posing none the less.

She really is a gorgeous girl. Congrats on your five Olympic medals!

Ok. Why she one of my fave models:

5. Known for being a hot model.
That's it. No drama. No overexposure. Does her job (well) and is out.

4. She is so versatile!

These pictures shocked me because she looks very different, and shows she can channel any look a designer has in mind.

Her face can work with any makeup look and no two ads she does is the same. Whether it's beachy, sophisticated, youthful, sexy, feminine, tough ANYTHING!

She can even pull off this:..as best as one possibly can.

But designers DO like to put her in sunglasses.....especially Micheal Kors...

maybe she has the right face shape?

3. On the runway, she always OWNS IT. Despite her age, she works it with confidence (much like my other- often- posted- about- fave model Coco Rocha)



2. Her look is just so unique ( I couldn't figure out her nationality for the life of me)
1. She is GORGEOUS


My only problem with her is that sometimes she comes off looking VERY skinny.It could be natural (riiiiiight) but natural or not it can't be healthy to be that thin.

And also its tough to find pics of her smiling, but c'mon, everyone smiles!

Plus she was once a muse to Uncle Karl (he goes through them fast eh?). Here are some photographs he took of her in Chanel couture:


And a little something extra, here she is FULLY SLEEPING as at least 10 people are swarming her with blow dryers, irons, and brushes
