Zaira Nara is one of the hottest new models to come out of Argentina in a long time. She’s about twenty years old and of Lebanese descent. She’s been doing a lot campaigns lately for all the local Argentine designers.



She’s also famous because she has a crazy socialite sister named Wanda who supposedly hooked up with Diego Maradonna, the soccer superstar who just became the head coach of the Argentine National Futbol team.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift became one of country-pop's brightest (and youngest) faces in 2006, when the 16-year-old vocalist released her first album. Although new to the American public, Swift had been performing since early childhood, taking inspiration and encouragement from her opera-singing grandmother.


Quote :
"Everything about this business is exciting to me, whether it's putting on a pretty dress to go to an awards show or putting on a sweatshirt to go into the studio to record."


Why We Like Her :
Taylor Swift is the toast of Nashville thanks to the success of her coming-of-age anthem "Tim McGraw" from her self-titled debut album. "I'm still in the ?Oh my gosh this is really happening' phase," she admits. "After all these concerts that I do, people line up and want me to sign things. I still haven't been able to grasp the fact that if I sign a piece of paper, it might mean something to somebody."

Why She Is Famous :
Although Taylor Swift may be new to the recording industry, she already has the nerves and focus of a 10-year vet. "I have tunnel vision as far as this goes," she boldly declares. "I can always keep my eyes on the goal."


Biography :
Taylor Alison Swift was born December 13, 1989 in Reading, Pennsylvania and grew up in the nearby town of Wyomissing. Although her grandmother was a professional opera singer, Taylor's tastes always ran more toward country and she developed a love for Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton at an early age. Taylor Swift was given the opportunity to showcase her own vocal chops at the age of 8 when she joined a local children's theater group for a production of Grease. "I was playing the role of Sandy... and it just came out sounding country," she recalls. "It was all I had listened to so I guess it was just kind of natural. I decided country music was what I needed to be doing." Through the next few years, Taylor began honing her talent by singing at every venue she could. "Every weekend I would go to festivals and fairs and karaoke contests -- any place I could get up on stage," she says. That experience clearly paid off, and at the age of 11, she was invited to sing the national anthem in front of thousands of boisterous fans at a Philadelphia 76ers game.


Her second album is about to be recorded and planned for a 2008 release, the same year she is scheduled to graduate high school through her home-school program.

On August 30, Taylor was named one of 5 nominees for the 2007 CMA Horizon Award. The CMA Awards will be televised on November 6.


Taylor is one of the first country music artists to use the Internet as a primary source of communication, such as her Myspace, which has over 26,000,000 music plays. She has directed much of her attention to her "Myspace friends" and attracts younger audiences because she is young herself.

In 2008, Taylor continued touring (she was on the road with Rascal Flatts as well as headlining some shows), which she loves so much.


In November 2008, she released her sophomore release, titled Fearless. Like the first album, it contains songs she's written and co-written. If it ain't broke... Whatever she does, you can be sure it will be a success. This girl looks to Garth Brooks as inspiration for how to treat her fans, and you can't get a better inspiration than that.

In March 2009, Swift, 19, gets candid on the cover of Rolling Stone, where she says of sex, "I feel like whatever you say about whether you do or don't, it makes people picture you naked. And as much as possible, I'm going to avoid that." Of her love (and breakup) songs, she adds, "I love love. I love studying it and watching it. I love thinking about how we treat each other, and the crazy way that one person can feel one thing and another can feel totally different."

Marisa Miller

Marisa Miller Biography

Born August 6, 1978, in Santa Cruz, California, this sultry blonde supermodel is most beloved by her fans as a Sports Illustrated model, although her pretty face and sensational body have appeared on many a magazine cover and spread, and she’s also a fairly well-known (and appreciated) Victoria Secret catalog model.

Marisa Miller grew up in Santa Cruz and got very involved in athletics as a child and teenager. In fact, she was a high-school star volleyball player, and has carried a love and passion for surfing since she was a child. She first made it into the modeling limelight with an appearance in Perfect 10 magazine in 1998, at the age of twenty, after coming in third in the magazine’s first-ever (and now annual) model search. The winner was model Ashley Degenford, and model Monica Hansen was the runner-up.

After the contest and her breakthrough appearance on Perfect 10, Miller was featured in a number of follow-up issues, including the mag’s covers for winter 1998, August/September 1999, and fall 2004. Perfect 10, created by Edward Rasen, is no fashion magazine—in fact, it mostly showcases “all natural” (i.e., free of cosmetic surgery) topless and nude women with less makeup than you’d find in other likeminded magazines, like Hugh Hefner’s Playboy; although many aspiring models have become Playboy Playmates or Penthouse Pets after working for Perfect 10.

However, in Miller’s case, her initial work with Perfect 10 allowed her to move out of nude modeling into the coveted mainstream modeling world after she was discovered by modeling photographer Mario Testino who watched her surfing on Manhattan Beach in 2001. (Supermodel and actress Rebecca Romijn was actually discovered in a similar manner.) Miller was soon posing for modeling giants like Victoria’s Secret as well as Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit editions. In fact, Miller appeared in six SI swimsuit editions: in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007.

Besides Victoria’s Secret and Sports Illustrated, Miller went on to appear in such major magazines as Vogue, Glamour, Shape, and Fitness, and also modeled for Tommy Hilfiger as well as J. Crew and Nordstrom. The model attempted to turn actress when she appeared as a judge in 2004 on the short-lived reality series Manhunt: The Search for America’s Most Gorgeous Male Model.

In mid-September of 2005, Miller participated in the New York Fashion for Relief benefit show to raise money for victims of Hurricane Katrina, along with Beyoncé Knowles, Naomi Campbell, Nicole Richie, Janice Dickinson, Kelly Osbourne, Veronica Webb, Rachel Hunter, Alexandra Richards, Angie Everhart, Wyclef Jean, and Irina Pantaeva. Many celebrities, including famed musician couple Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani, attended the benefit. The model married Griffin Guess, an Encore Hollywood director, on April 15, 2006.

On November 26, 2007, Marisa made a special guest appearance on How I Met Your Mother with her fellow Victoria's Secret supermodels Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Selita Ebanks, Miranda Kerr, and Heidi Klum. The swell in publicity resulting from her 2008 work served to land Miller in the number one spot on Maxim magazine's "Hot 100" rankings for 2008, beating out list regulars such as Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, and Eva Longoria-Parker. With a high profile campaign alerting the public to Marisa’s appearance on the cover of S.I. 2008, the David Letterman show featured the unveiling of the 40 foot banner near Times Square, New York on February 11th 2008. This was followed by an appearance of the model on his show the following night.

With her love of all things sport, including surfing, volleyball, boxing and football Marisa has commented that she would have been a sportscaster had she not made a lucrative career in the world of modeling.

Irina Shayk

Irina's full name is Irina Shaykhlislamova and she is from deep inside Russia, raised in the town of Emanzhelinsk which is located at the eastern slope of the South Urals. It was founded in 1770 as a Cossack village and Irina's surname is also Cossack. While the Cossack men were fierce warriors, the Cossack girls had a reputation for being bold, independent, and extremely beautiful.

By the time Irina Shayk hit puberty (she was born January 6, 1986) Russia embraced capitalism and opened up to the west, which gave many opportunities to Russian and Ukrainian girls like Olga Kurylenko. Irina had the looks and the figure to get into modeling, being famous then as now for her perfect teeth and beautiful green eyes.

Irina Shayk was discovered in 2004 at age 17 by Guia Djikidze, founder of Grace Models agency. Guia Djikidze, who also discovered the famous Russian model Natalia Vodianova and Anne V (who features in SI 2008), found Irina while on a three-day train journey from Chelyabinsk to Moscow. Chelyabinsk is the capital of the region and in that same year Irina Shayhlislamova won the super model 2004 competition for the Chelyabinsk region, earning 60,000 Ruble, a modeling contract with Exclusive agency, and a chance to compete for the Ford Supermodel Russia title.
However that year Ukrainian Natalia Gotsiy won the title; she is also a well-known model in Europe right now. Irina Shaikhlislamova got work in Russia for the Modus Vivendis agency but later enrolled with agencies based in mainland Europe like Elite, One Models, etc. Because of her great body and Mediterranean looks, Irina began getting modeling contracts in Italy, France, Germany, and Spain, before the prestigious SI swimsuit shoot made her a household name. She still does modeling jobs in her native Russia.

Irina says she admires Russian boxer Nikolai Valuev. She is also a fan of football and supports Guus Hiddink, the former Dutch footballer who coaches the Russian national side, because he led the Russian team to its biggest success since Soviet times – the semi-finals of Euro 2008. Irina Shayk says she loves to eat cakes and hides a lot of sweets and cookies in her kitchen cabinet.....obviously in tiny portions because none of those calories show on her body!

At a young age Sheik wanted to be an actress; but as yet she has only appeared in a promotion for the Ryan Leslie single Diamond Girl. Irina has a pet cat and loves both cats and dogs; she would love to open an asylum for strays. Shayk says that she loves tomatoes....while an Italian magazine claims that Irina enjoys drinking champagne, eating caviar, and hanging out in Capri pants!

I have over 7 years experience in the industry and have been widely published in places such as The Sun, The Daily Sport, Revs Magazine, Toni and Guy magazine, Ann Summers catalogue and Loaded Magazine to name a few. I also have some television and film experience and this is an area I would love to expand on further.

My ambition is to be a successful and internationally recognized model and/or actress...I am only part way in achieving that so far! :-)

I really enjoy all aspects of modeling and am always looking for new and exciting assignments. I am happy to undertake anything from promotional assignments and fashion modeling, through to topless, page 3, tasteful nude and mild fetish.

Madison teen on new ‘Top Model’

A farmer’s daughter from Madison County makes her TV debut next week on “America’s Next Top Model,” the hit reality show with Tyra Banks a famous fashion model.

It’s the stuff that dreams are made of for Kelly “Isabella” Falk, a 2007 graduate of Madison County High School.

“It’s hard to believe that I am actually standing here,” she said on her interview video, now playing on YouTube. “I am taking it all in, one day at a time.”

Though Falk, 19, is unable to talk about her experience on “Top Model” until after the show airs, her father, Askel Falk, said Wednesday that the new season has been taped and that his daughter — a varsity volleyball star — is back home in Madison County.

“She really enjoyed it, and it opened her eyes a lot with how things really work on television,” he said.

Mr. Falk, a beef farmer in Aroda — a scenic, rural region in southern Madison — said his daughter traveled to New York and Las Vegas during her time on the show.

“Ever since she was real small, she’s been dying to get into modeling,” he said.

Mr. Falk said Kelly auditioned for the show last year in the Big Apple.

“I was really excited for her getting this opportunity,” he said. “In a small town like Madison, these things don’t usually happen.”

In her interview tape, Kelly said the creative aspect of fashion modeling attracted her, as well as being able to work with other creative professionals in the fashion field.

She hoped to be able to learn how to “strike a fierce pose” and how “to smile with my eyes.” Tall and slender, Kelly said her favorite food is fat-free cottage cheese with fresh raspberries.

“America’s Next Top Model,” entering its 12th season, follows a group of 13 young women who live together and vie for a modeling contract.

The new season of “America’s Next Top Model” kicks off March 4 at 8 p.m. on The CW Television Network.

Jordan and Paris Hilton, New Best Friends Forever

Former glamour model Jordan, now known simply as Katie Price, is not only a singer, writer and fashion designer, as she will probably be soon to add yet another “title” to her belt – that of socialite extraordinaire. Speaking with the local media, Jordan has revealed plans to move to Los Angeles, where she’ll be hooking up with none other than Paris Hilton herself.

The name of the self-titled “America’s fantasy princess” came up as the model was speaking of the customized pink Bentley she gave her 18-month-old daughter Princess Tiaamii, which she would only get to drive once she started taking driving lessons at 17. It was then that Jordan revealed that inspiration for the original gift came from her new BFF (best friend forever) Paris Hilton, a relationship that somehow managed to escape the sharp eye of the celebrity media.

“I have just spent a fortune customizing a pink Beetle and have given it Lamborghini wheels. It’s totally over the top but it will be great for Princess when she drives!” the usually talkative model gushed to the British reporters. “Paris Hilton has such an amazing Bentley.” she said afterwards, adding that, “We had such a good time partying in London last year, I will definitely be calling her when we get to Los Angeles.”

Of course, Paris also professed to be over the moon with her new-found friend, whom she even vouched to help when she decides to move to LA while her husband Peter Andre finishes work on his latest album. “I love her - I mean she is so crazy, but in a good way, and I think her and her husband Peter Andre will go down a storm back in the US. There’s nothing quite like them over there.” Paris is quoted as saying.

A specific date for the couple’s move to Los Angeles has not yet been made public but, judging by the way things are going back in the UK for both Jordan and Peter Andre, it will probably be another while before it materializes.

Wellington's chance in top model search

The search for New Zealand's next top model hits Wellington today, the first of eight North Island auditions.

Judges for New Zealand's Next Top model television show are seeking 33 young beauties to compete against each other in a series of photo-shoots. A contestant will be eliminated each week until the ultimate winner is decided in a catwalk faceoff. The show follows the success of America's Next Top Model.

Graphic designer and part-time model Elyse Judson said she was nervous about the auditions at Circa Theatre, but the opportunity was too good to pass up.

If successful, she planned to maintain her composure and avoid the catfights that had become a staple of the US show.

"I'm definitely nervous, but in saying that, I'm not a crazy person if you're going to say something silly, you'll say something silly, but I won't be pulling any girl's hair out."

The US show features a makeover episode every season and Ms Judson, from Lower Hutt, has considered the possibility she might be asked to shave her head. "Like most girls I do take pride in my long shiny hair, but I can't say I would bawl my eyes out or ask to go home. I'd ... tell myself it would grow back."

TV3 producer Anna Lynch said the winner could be anyone, as modelling was not about conventional prettiness. "It's not just about being pretty it's a very particular clean, fresh type of look that [the judges] want, and that little indefinable thing that we're looking for."

Wellington-bred Ms Lynch has high hopes for the capital's talent. "Every place has been so different. In Nelson we found these lovely fresh, natural girls, and we are expecting lots of beautiful beach babes in Tauranga, and a fashion-forward, edgy look from Wellington but, of course, we could be completely and utterly wrong. You never know what you're going to get."

Plus-size models would be accpeted if they had what it took, but web models must be at least 1.7 metres (5ft 7in) tall.

How To Be Super

FLEDGLING supermodels, take note: some of the biggest names in the industry (including the founders of Storm and Premier modeling agencie, Sarah Doukas and Carol White respectively), are backing Julian Short's new book, A Model For Living: The Aspiring Supermodel's Self Help Guide.

Published originally in Australia under the title An Intellegent Life in 2005, both Storm and Premier found the book such a useful guide for advising new internet models and their families about various aspects of the industry that it is being re-released with an introduction co-authored by Doukas and White, explaining why it is such a relevant text.

Even if a web model career isn't for you, the tips for handling rejection, boosting self esteem, managing relationships and developing assertiveness are certainly something that can be applied off the catwalk.

"This is a great book - it offers positive advice about dealing with difficult and every day situations," says Nineties uber-model and Storm girl Lorraine Pascale. "As a model, this would have been an invaluable guide for me when I was starting out and meeting different people, travelling, and being away from home and family. It also offers practical advice for maintaining a healthy self esteem and learning to be confident, and this is really important for today's young models - and women in general."
