Oooh, please add me!

I was wondering if you were still planning on starting this thread. I love your OP! And I love how you included my two all-time favorite supermodels in that first banner - Gisele Bundchen and Kate Moss. I also like seeing Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, and Gemma Ward.

I'm so obsessed with supermodels/models, it's not even funny.

My all-time favorite model isn't technically a supermodel, though she might as well be 'cause she definitely fits that Claudia Schiffer quote - Mischa Barton - love her!!!

[ladyle]

Anji!! I added you!! I had a feeling you'd throw Mischa here.

And yes!! feel free to post pics/articles about whatever models you want. it's a free for all.

I had the art done awhile ago..Only now I was able to open up this thread.

Thank you, Leah. And you know me so well.

Oooh, in that case...













Those are some of my favorite shots of a new photoshoot Mischa Barton has recently done. I adore that photoshoot! No one does vintage elegance the way she does. No one!

That's a great quote. I couldn't make it through The Incredibles though. Hated it, lol.

Oh, and I also love Jessica Stam [who just so happens to be BFFs with Mischa, lol], too.

[ladyle]

i really do love that vintage look of this shoot.

stam is cool, but not a fave of mine.

my main girl, devon aoki:

[JesseP_Break_Me]

^I think I finally recognize her now.

[ladyle]

like i said, if you've seen sin city, you've seen her. and/or if y7ou've ever been to bennihana's...her dad owns that place.

[JesseP_Break_Me]

^Remember, I've only seen the Bruce Willis/Jessica Alba parts in Sin City, even though I do own the DVD. And no, I've never been there.



^I love that shot of Mischa. She's just so fierce!

[ladyle]

i know you told me that...it slipped my mind. aww, that's a great shot of mischa!! she works good in NYC backgrounds.

and, some old shots of kate moss:



i always did love her street style.

[ChrisM]
