^I just noticed you alluded to this Karlie video on my thread too - it has evidently grabbed your attention!

Can't argue though...

Lima fans are 100% worse then Candice fans. As long as you stay off Candice's thread they don't care what you say. But say you don't like Lima and her fans stalk you to no end. I don't understand how people can worship someone like that. It's not normal!

And the crazy things they do!! I swear they have to be some of the most mentally unstable people around.

Hi Angie

Hi Limey! On Jennka's thread!!

^I just noticed you alluded to this Karlie video on my thread too - it has evidently grabbed your attention!

I talked about her Vogue photoshoot in Carmelita's thread too. The video is just too striking. I don't think I've ever seen a woman look like that before- bone structure, face, and physique.

Karlie looks like she's been using a personal trainer to mold herself into 5% bodyfat range. I'm actually wondering why she did or was ordered to do it...not that it's not interesting to me but it could be 'too much' to her stakeholders :-/?

Oh, there are so many tutorials out there, Joe! What do you want tutorial about? Face, body, trees?

I guess what I need first off is step by step without one step being like drastically past the las one . Where I'm looking to start though is with the face. I'm trying to get the little subleties that make a face distinguishable and recognizable that is .

Thanks, I can't wait !

I don't know about now, but before Karlie started modelling, she was a ballerina.

I've heard of that, but do you know if it was more than a hobby for her?

Jennka & Baron, these are the best Candice VS photos I've ever seen:

Hola Jennka Had to share this vid I've passed to others around BZ. Lets just say Jesus really is all around us

Hi Angie

Another interesting Magdalena candid. She's in the mirror, behind Karolina...:-p

Kitty wants a hug

here's the jist of it

Tangled directors Byron Howard and Nathan Greno will continue the story of Rapunzel (Mandy Moore), Flynn Rider (Zachary Levi), and Maximus, The World’s Most Awesome Horse in the new short film Tangled Ever After. Disney has sent out a press release announcing that the short film will play in front of Beauty and the Beast 3D. In Tangled Ever After, Maximus and Pascal the Chameleon lose the wedding rings for Rapunzel and Flynn’s wedding and have to go on a frantic hunt to find the gold bands. I’m sure it will be comical and cute like the movie, but I think it will be interesting to see how a modern Disney princess movie directly compares to a classic like Beauty and the Beast.

Hit the jump for the press release as well as the poster for Tangled Ever After. The film Beauty and the Beast 3D opens January 13, 2012.

and here is the CUTENESSSSS

alittle something else, i know you like her, enjoy

Yay, can´t wait for it and thank you for writing it, really much

cuteness is just hella cuute lol puppies can never do wrong here

nor can Lily such a wonderful gif!! LMS you´re my hero!

about Limey... simple 2% will be too much but I like lighter beers (if that does make sense?) and... I have to admit I haven´t tasted the best beers out there... when fl was in Scottland, they had like meters long bars full of pipes with different kinds of beer.... I call that heaven, damn!

^Oh yes, beers can be very distinctive - I just meant 'lager' as a subsection. Telling standard lagers, like a 4% say, Heineken or Coors or Fosters apart... Real Ales, and their distinctive blends of hops and malts used, sure.

One of the finest:

Is it a Brittish beer? I´ve never heard about it! I want to taste it

Heck hanna cant wait, J is taking her to see beauty & the beast since its back in the cinema, and Tangled is one of her faves, and i know, puppies can always make a person smile, no matter the mood lollllllllllllllllllll

^After a prolonged absence on her thread, with surfeit of the usual fare, I was spurred into posting again when I first saw those pictures! They've got this wonderful Roger Vadim-esque aesthetic don't you think? That late 50's French Riviera vibe... I agree, I think they're the most perfect use of her beauty.

Yea, she looks like the ideal pinup model there. I remember VS using that style for one shoot...then abandoning it in favor of their usual style :-/

Sometimes you sound so. But I suppose I got the whole sentence in the wrong meaning. Thank you for explanation I too hope that our future will be more or less peacefull... really hope so.

It´s so much money, damn. One could think about more usefull using of them, right?

I pay twice as much for defense-related taxes compared to an equivalent British taxpayer...Many Americans value the military like we used to value the Space Race.

Interesting... but scary as well. I simply can´t imagine how killing people can become someone´s pride. A purpose. A meaning of his life. Your enemy is someone´s else friend, father, brother, son.

Ok, I know that wars and fight are now the only ones that are really cutting on human population... but I still can´t agree with it. Human race is so intelligent, yet so stupid.

The common person is pleasant and is a 'humanist' at heart. They value life, even to the point where it can become uneconomical or irrational to a 'strategist' mentality.

All 'average/normal' people want to do is to enjoy life as a series of short term amusements, reproduce & raise a family, and own a piece of land. A warrior does not think like that or necessarily want these things. A true soldier can't possible respect any of that very much- in fact they may even find a 'normal' life to be pathetic. They, at the very core, believe and know the underlying fact that human life is meaningless and whatever value is applied to humans and other animals or objects is a matter of subjectivity. This is the basic ethos of the Roman Praetorian, the Bushido of the Samurai, and the ethos of many mercenaries that are working today for private military companies.

That's the difference between 'true soldiers' and the common soldier (often depicted in movies).

True soldiers value their place in history, moving history forward, and fighting to defend or expand the concept of a civilization- Roman Empire, Ming Dynasty, German empire, British empire, America, etc. They will lay down their life for ideas and concepts. There are even professionals (many of them mercenaries) that work in war for the sake of war. They are usually very worldly, philosophical/historical/engineering type people who have a nihilist streak in them. This is why having an all-powerful military class controlling a government is nearly always bad news. They don't value life the way that normal people do.

But I cannot, and will never disrespect military spirit though. Every society needs men and women like this. Just not too many or too little. Having too many or too little is dangerous.

I personally know two men that have killed many people as commanders of combat units. My ex-mentor and another Silver Star Holder (Vietnam War). They were both part of elite units as reconnaissance leaders.

The Vietnam War veteran served only one tour in the top 1% most dangerous job in Vietnam and fought in the worst situation possible- cut off and encircled by superior enemy forces. He went there as a newly commissioned 2nd. Lt.- in charge of 40+ combat troops. Only 19 of his men walked out of Vietnam unwounded & alive. He himself was machine gunned by the enemy (ending his career). However, in his final operation, his men clustered their positions with 200+ dead Vietcong, for which he was awarded the Silver Star.

My mentor was a really polarizing character but a real 'mensch'. 24-7.. Enormous work ethic and mental capability..far superior to that of the average person. He was a front-fighter as well- Bronze Star- and was among the first American troops to attack Afghanistan- leading 200+ Recon Marines into the vast unknown. He not only lead, but he even killed several enemy soldiers with his M-14 scoped battle rifle. After his tours, he went to an Ivy league university for grad school and worked as a banker for a prestigious central unit & then, finally demoted to trainer for the bank.

We were active friends for 3 months, and I believe that we learned much from each other from many after-work conversations. But we often disagreed. He was (even after these years in civilian life) never completely in touch with everyday people and everyday life.

Thank you for such a thorough post... I value it. I may not agree with everything in it, and I do not pretend to understand all of it.

But I can imagine how different must be such a life. How different views such a man/woman must have... and how weird must a common life sound to him/her. This is something absolutely different - but take humanitary workers that go to Africa. They spend there months, sometimes years, then they come back and suddenly.... can´t fit into the picture. Everything is so different, everything is so weird and out of place... they´ve seen things and survived acts that we do not normally encounter - they see things differently. They mostly cannot live "normal" life anymore and go back to the places they came from... even when these places are seen as "hell" for us others.

Didn't Adriana and Gisele started out at similar time? And they're both Brazilians who work(ed) for VS, so

Jennka, I know that Gisele is the last supermodel and I don't think the model status will change anytime soon (especially if you throw the title 'supermodel' around too often without meaning it.... Bar, Irina... it's like, just because they were 'entered' by famous .... doesn't mean they are ones) but don't you have this feeling like people from fashion industry are trying to make Karlie Kloss a new Gisele? I know there are so many things differing them, but somehow I can see Karlie gaining much more recognition soon. Well, it is sorta happening now...

I don´t really know

Yeah, I´ve noticed that - Miche wrote something about it in Gi´s thread as well... they like to compare them because, as said, thanks to the fierce walk they both have and fierce look, maybe hair? And the fact that Karlie is the liebling of the moment now - designers and fashionistas love her.

I like Karlie too, really much. But... for me, there is no comparison to Gisele in her prime catwalk years... I think Miche got it right:

I like Karlie and her career is getting more exciting (and I can see why she is getting comparisons to Gisele because they are both loved by fashion and VS at such a young age)...but that's about it.

I don't get why people are saying they have the same bodies. Karlie is very "cute". Gisele was already a total sex bomb at age 19.

but I see the comparisons in their larger than life personalities, both amazing on the catwalk, both fashion darlings, both embraced by VS at a young age. That "It" factor. I think Karlie has some ways to go before I start the "she's the next gisele" comparisons though. Gisele at age 19 already had solo US Vogue covers (3 consecutively), a model of the year award, given a huge title such as "return of the sexy model" by Anna Wintour herself.,American Elle, Allure, Bazaar covers, all without having the internet generation to help her get known.

People keep comparing Karlie to Gisele so I made this of their first Victoria's Secret shows and at the same age, 19.

How the hell are people comparing Adriana's career to Gisele's? I don't get it. There is no comparison. And that isn't just an opinion its a fact!!

Oh, I know. But when I fight, I feel like fighting an neverending fight... and I grew tired of it. Gisele is "hors concors" or how do they call it... she is phenomenal. I don´t understand another thing too - ok, people don´t have to like her, be her fans or think she´s beautiful, but at least show some respect to the woman... I don´t know if it´s jealousy or just ignorance, but it seems it´s so hard for them to admit her success.

She is the last of the supers.

There is no arguing with those people. But they make fun of Candice fans so much. Lima fans are 100% worse then Candice fans. As long as you stay off Candice's thread they don't care what you say. But say you don't like Lima and her fans stalk you to no end. I don't understand how people can worship someone like that. It's not normal! I love Naomi Campbell but I understand that people don't like her. And I'm not going to stalk them like a mad woman!

I think those are mostly teenagers or people with no real life? I think I´m really blessed because I´ve never been encountered by such people, lol. But, seriously, there is nothing worse than Bar Rafaeli´s fan crossed with Leo D fans.... that is worse than encountering a really hungry shark!

^I just noticed you alluded to this Karlie video on my thread too - it has evidently grabbed your attention!

^The Limanati are the Jehovah's Witnesses of BZ - it is their duty to preach the Lima-doctrine and convert us non-believing sinners. :evil:

Loool All Saints calling, of course.... when they call, you must go!!
