This is kinda a crummy quality video of the 2007 Modeling Auditions">Victoria’s Secret fashion show. Victoria’s Secret sure has come a long way from a lingerie shop to a full blown event that receives more publicity and has more big name stars and sponsors than all the pageants put together.

Last year, Seal performed. I wonder if Heidi Klum had anything to do with that. Anyway, watch the superstars of fashion runways strut their stuff while wearing their very sexy undies. Alessandra Ambrossio and Heidi Klum look amazing as always

Surfing around, I found this interview with model Adina Forizs on models.com

Everyone can agree, Adina is a stunning girl and one to watch for sure. At 20, she is a student at Budapest University. Adina is one of these girls who has been naturally blessed all around, stunning looks and a stunning mind to match.

She is majoring in engineering and hopes to become a civil engineer when the modeling

world tires of her, which may not be for a very long time to come. Adina is ahead of the game for sure not only planning out her career in fashion modeling but also her career afterwards.

WS: Dear Adina, Could you tell our readers a little bit about yourself.
AF: So my name is Adina. I’m from Hungary. My mother agency is Icon in Hungary. I’m twenty year old I started modeling a year before but I have been at university studying so I wasn’t full time. Now I have a break.
WS: What was your field of study ?
AF:If I finish I will be a civil engineer.
WS: You must be brilliant at Mathematics.
AF:I should be but I failed my exams. (laughs)
WS: What does a civil engineer construct? Is it more like buildings as in architecture…or structual things like bridges?
AF: There are two types . The first one is the people who think about the buildings … how the buildings should look and I am really more the other type who actually makes the building.
WS: How did the idea of modeling enter your life in the first place?
AF: A lot of times when I was walking on the street people would ask me if I am a model and I told them no…no…no. But then I was very curious as to why everybody was saying that I should be a model. So I decided to give it a try.
WS:Tell us about your going to Milan for the Prada.
AF:I was in Milan for three weeks and every day I went to Prada to do the looks. Then somebody told me that I was going to get the show and I was very happy about this but I didn’t know I will open. They told me five minutes before the show “You will open”.
WS: Now that was a well kept secret. Since it was so last minute, did the news make you more nervous about walking your first show?
AF: I was nervous but it was really fun. After I opened, I came back from the runway very happy.
WS:I imagined you learned a lot about the behind-the-scenes of how a show is put together
AF: Yes it was very interesting because I could see how the designer works. It was really interesting. They were working a lot when I first went there . When I went back they really put a lot of effort into everything that they were doing. They were so energetic you never saw that they were tired.
WS: I guess there was a lot of passion at Prada. Coming from such a scientific background, did this world of high fashion surprise you or overwhelm you?
AF: I don’ t know exactly what I expected really of it but I thought that this way is the normal way . I spoke to a lot of people …other girls. This was my first season but I spoke to those girls who were doing this for a longer time. It was another girl for instance who told me the Prada was very very good to do.
WS; Ah, so you did your research going in! Are you looking forward to photographing campaigns and editorials now?
AF: I hope so
WS: Oh we fully suspect you’ll be doing every major editorial in sight. Have you shot any editorials before ?
AF: No, only the test things in my book.
WS: Which makes it an even more amazing start then. Is there a particular kind of music you listen to ?
AF: No. I listen to everything depending on how I feel. I don’t have a special choice. I like the music when I go onto the runway . The music at the shows I did in Milan and in Paris was amazing. It really was like party music
WS: How about your current reading. Which authors do you like?
AF: I like the books of Paulo Coelho. I think he is my favorite author . I like books which provoke thinking
WS:Like philosophical works?
AF: Not exactly philosophy but I don’t like books with just stories… where people just act. I’ve been reading “The Fifth Mountain” and recently I read “The Alchemist” in English
WS: How many languages do you speak ?
AF: I speak Hungarian, English and German
WS: Is that because in Hungary you speak both the native tongue and German?
AF:No I studied in school, German for the past 8 years.
WS:And now I imagine you’re learning some French?
AF:No. Its a very beautiful language but the pronunciation is so difficult for me . I think its easier in German because there are rules and you just follow them
WS: I’m really impressed by your academic prowess. Do you see yourself going back to school soon to get that engineering degree?
AH:Now I would like to focus on this, the modeling though I never know what will happen now . I have a good start so I’m going to try to let it go for as long as possible
WS: Fantastic answer Adina. We know you’re going to be a great model and a very smart and inspiring one at that. Thank you so much for spending time with us!
AH: Thank you!

Naomi Campbell can’t seem to keep her emotions under

control. It seems Naomi Campbell was arrested last night for spitting on a police officer at Heathrow airport after some of her bags were lost at the new Terminal 5.

Last year the 37 year old supermodel also got into a bit of trouble for throwing a cell phone at her maid. She was sentenced to a few anger management classes for that.

Now we will have to wait till Naomi’s court date in May to find out how many more of the anger management classes Ms. Campbell may need to do to walk away from the new

assault on a police officer charge.

It seems the cop was not really into having supermodel Naomi Campbell’s saliva on him. It’s kinda funny that there

may be plenty of men who would welcome that type of attention from a supermodel of her class. OK, Naomi Campbell may have been acting a bit spoiled… it only was a lost bag to begin with.

Supermodel Kristen McMenamy returns to the catwalk for Givenchy.

Kristen McMenamy at BST. Stuff Cindy Crawford, the fabulously alien-looking supermodel is our ideal of female beauty. And her now-grey hair has made her look even more A-M-AAA-ZING (as our dear friend Gerardo would say). However, fashion followers would be wise to avoid the ‘glad to be grey’ trend unless — like Kristen — you have cheekbones that you can stab puppies with.

All too sexy with the gray hair and all strutting down the catwalk

I hope I can do it for that long as well
