Here's another little interview from SPFW 
sympathy in person! Gisele has a mega positive energy and happiness that radiates to every corner! Loved the opportunity to meet her, and no doubt this little moment will be unforgettable! I Get emotional just remembering believe?!
Well, I did an interview with her with questions that I’m sure would love to know, can we start?!
. What is the first ritual you do to get on the plane?
First, drink plenty of water. And I always try to have a creminho or almond oil or jojoba oil to moisturize your hands, face, more natural and clean as possible. Oh, and I also like to take a book.
. But you do not usually sleep on the trip?
I sleep just a little bit, because usually travel with my children on his lap, then take the opportunity to do a reading when I am without them on trips to work.
. What usually does not lack in your purse?
A cell, floss, mirror, lip gloss, a lip balm brand from a friend that I love because you can spend on Skin, face, cuticles, this is something very good to have in the bag.
. And with so many trips, what you carry in your handbag search? For example, you brought this time?
I’m very practical at this time, because I prefer to take just one handbag. So take what I actually use, start separating the pants, some dark, some lighter, a black dress, black leather jacket, and I’m the same practice. As I travel a lot for work, it’s cool because I use the branded garments for whom I was hired.
Do you have any tips for skin care infallible?
I always do facial exercises to relax your face, it does very well! And before entering the runway, how do you prepare? Always lengthen I also meditate and pray, because to me that I’m doing the show is that I get a lot of energy, so I need to be well, and what works is very good breathing.
.And diquinha for hair?
Much I use that line Pantene Expert, which is great to take traveling. Something I never do is use conditioner at the root, use only half of the hair because the hair weighs, and also use some creams intensive care, put a towel and leave about 15 minutes, this is what I usually do.
Oh people, killing huh? Friendly this dear woman!
thanks! love Erin's words about her!
one more new interview!
There is no doubt: Gisele Bundchen (33) made history in the fashion world. The easy smile, the unique past of legs and striking look in front of the lens turned into a fashion myth, whose success is overwhelming. Away from the catwalks, however, übermodel – compared to a hurricane in the parades – has a side that few know. Barefoot and wearing light dress and comfortable, the gaucho received FACES exclusively in the hotel suite that was in the state capital. While enjoyed a cup of tea, the sound of a mantra echoed by relaxing environment. The weather contrasted with the breakneck atmosphere that would be inserted Gaucho few hours later, at SPFW, after a hiatus of nearly three years, in a triumphant return to reign absolute in green and yellow catwalk parading by Colcci. “me 100% dedicated to thecareer but there came a time that was already filled professionally. It was when I started reviewing my priorities. Today, despite working, what matters to me is to have a lifestyle more calm,quiet and caring family. I am so much happier! ” , she shoots the mother of Benjamin (3) and Vivian (11 months), the union with the idol of football Tom Brady (36). “These internal changes helps me enjoy life more today than when I was younger. ” About to turn 20 years of career in 2014 and leading the ranking of the tops highest paid in the world, the star is divided between the roles of mother, wife, model, businesswoman, and the Ambassador United Nations Program for the Environment. “Vivo various characters, and to account for, always reserve some time for myself. If I’m right with me, everything flows better. ”- After nearly 20 years, see the profession with another look?- I started working at age 14, an age difficult you know almost nothing about life, trying to find the company and find out how person. Everything was happening too fast in my career, but over time I gained confidence, calmness, maturity and focus.- The changes have also influenced the way he cares?- I came from the interior of Rio Grande do Sul, eating rice and beans every day and my physical activity was volleyball. From simple routine, I joined the madness of fashion week: sleeping two or three hours a day, just ate crap and had no idea how it harms health. Today, I cherish the lifestyle, I know the importance of eating healthy, I exercise and take time to meditate.- A healthy routine reflects positively in their day to day …- The better you take care of myself, I can better develop my papers mother, wife, professional and friendly. The woman is the great foundation of the family and, if it is not right, nothing is right. In my house, at least, that’s how!- So, see yourself as a kind of barometer of home?- This! Before felt guilty and thought ‘I can not take care of myself, because I have to spend more time with my children, or working with my husband.’ If you need, according to the 5 am to meditate, because I know that when children raise, I’ll be fine, calm and quiet to play, take care of the mess and play with them.- How do you reconcile the functions?- With focus. When I’m with my children, for example, do not answer phone and do not do things parallel, just stay with them, playing Indian, making room in the cabin, going to the park. If I’m working or am with Tom is the same thing. Live the moment as if they were single.- Living in the present building was something I learned the family?- Actually, before I had this notion, or rather, had no such need. Once I became a mother and wife, accumulated different functions and had to learn to manage them. The family changed my priorities, it is the most important to me. Always wanted to be a mother and have a family. It happened at the right time.- You embrace the ecological cause. Teach it to children?- Father and mother are examples and everything we do reflects the attitudes of the children. At home, do not throw food away because we already know the portions that each eats. If left, we compost or give to the dog. If we make salad, Benjamin and Jack go with me to the garden harvesting tomatoes, cucumbers and greens. They know where the food comes from. All this is part of their routine, is not spoken, is experienced.- How is being a mother of a girl?- It’s amazing how girl needs more love! Vivian is delicate, sweet and always wants lap. It will be a great partner! When I put my mantras, she is quietly crawling around me. Already the boys are full of energy! Throw themselves on the couch, jump, like it is action.- Where they jealous of her?- At the beginning, yes. Benjamin came to want to breastfeed equal sister! Now aside time exclusively for them, go to the park, play ball, is a way of seeing that all take place.- There is room for more children?- I am currently with hands full. (Laughs) We’re pretty well and do not know if in the future toparia feel everything again. Today, I’m feeling quite accomplished.
Gisele Bündchen's Model Life
How Gisele Bündchen leveraged keen business instincts and a lingerie deal to become the world's highest-paid model—and why the fashion industry has been catching up to her ever since
BY DEREK BLASBERG
Nov. 7, 2013 3:53 p.m. ET
GISELE BÜNDCHEN MAY be the most powerful model in the world—but that's not what she prefers to call herself. "I'm self-employed," says the 33-year-old Brazilian. "[Modeling has] always been a business." This year, she topped Forbes's list of highest-paid models for the seventh year in a row, beating out the likes of Kate Moss and Miranda Kerr by tens of millions of dollars. The magazine reported that she made $42 million, though she rolls her eyes at the figure. "Who are they speaking to when they come up with these numbers? Not my accountant, that's for sure." Whether the number strikes her as high or low, she leaves unsaid.
How did Bündchen, who was scouted at a shopping mall in her native Rio Grande do Sul when she was 14, rise from mere model to multiplatform business tycoon? Selectivity, she says. After becoming the most in-demand face and body on the runways of Paris and Milan in the late 1990s—in 1999, Vogue put her on the cover and declared "The Return of the Sexy Model"—she developed a knack for taking exactly the right steps in her career at exactly the right times.
High risk yields high reward, and nothing was more risky than her decision to sign with Victoria's Secret in 2000, making her one of the first in her field to bridge the once-taboo divide between luxury fashion editorials and commercial work. It was a canny maneuver that proved light-years ahead of the rest of the fashion industry, though such high-low blurring has since become the norm. After Bündchen signed with Victoria's Secret, it ballooned from a prosaic bra brand into a lingerie powerhouse with a world-famous fashion show—ultimately helping to net her a reported $25 million per year. (She wore the company's famed Angel wings for the last time in 2007.) She inked lucrative deals with luxury brands such as Chanel and David Yurman. Anne Nelson, her agent since she was 17, says that in Brazil, "she is a god."
These days, Bündchen is picky about which jobs she takes not because she's cultivating an image but because of domestic obligations. In 2009, she married Tom Brady, quarterback of the New England Patriots, and is now mother to Benjamin, 3, and Vivian, 8 months, and stepmother to Brady's son, 6-year-old John Edward Thomas, from his previous relationship. "When you're by yourself you only make decisions for yourself. But when you have a family, you're making decisions for your whole family." She now turns down multimillion-dollar jobs if they require her to leave the country or have obligatory personal appearance days in the contract.
When asked to describe how she manages the roles of wife, mother and supermodel, she offers a metaphor: Ginga, the basic back-and-forth swaying step of Brazilian martial art capoeira. "You're always trying to balance everything, but it can't be 100 percent all the time. Sometimes when you are a great mom, you're not so great at your job. And then when you're good at your job, you're not so great of a mom or a good wife. It's a dance that never stops. But it's beautiful. I've never been happier."
Bündchen's packed days are meticulously organized on her iPhone with the Cozi app, which synchs the entire family schedule, from kids' play dates to her press appointments to Brady's football practices. Every single hour is accounted for and each family member is color-coordinated: She is purple, Brady is blue, and when the whole family needs to be at the same place, it's in red. "I know what everyone is doing every second of the day," says Bündchen.
Most mornings start around 6 a.m. Before heading either to her home office, where she works on her own fashion and accessories lines, or to a modeling job, she spends time with the children. (The couple has homes in Boston, New York and Los Angeles.) Vivian comes with her to photo shoots. "If I'm with my kids, I'm not answering my phone. You can't reach me. With my husband, too. If I'm at work, then I'm at work. If I'm with you, I'm with you. I am in that moment, and there is nothing else." The family prefers dinner at home, and Bündchen and Brady are rarely seen out at social occasions. One exception is the annual Met Costume Institute gala in New York City, where they are consistently one of the glossiest couples on the red carpet.
While work and family commitments dominate Bündchen's schedule, she says her trick to keeping it together is her hour. "It's important to me to have some time for myself. So one hour a day is mine. It may have to be at 4 a.m. or whenever the kids are napping or not home, but it's in the schedule. I read a book. I meditate. I make something. I need to nourish myself in order for me to give to everyone else."

t last eve's third annual WSJ. Innovator Awards at the MoMA, Gisele Bündchen was on hand to a) fete the mag's November issue, which she appears on the cover of, flanked by Daft Punk b) saunter on stage during the Awards with the helmet-clad musicians as they got honored c) look ravishing in a spangled, plunging midnight blue Versace mini. The Daily caught up with Bündchen to get the dish on her cover shoot—and find out if the longtime Angel alum actually watches the Victoria's Secret show...
Great WSJ. cover! What was the shoot like?
Daft Punk were very nice, and they brought their families and kids to the shoot. It was a great environment—and a very quick shoot. We shot everything in just three hours!
What’s it like having a slew of kids on set?
I love that—I’m all about family. I wish I'd brought my kids! I usually do.
Got any favorite Daft Punk songs?
That new one, “Get Lucky.” Oh! And that one [starts singing] “We’re gonna celebrate…” Did Daft Punk do that? Ah, yes. “One More Time”! I think Daft Punk has a talent for making songs you can’t get out of your head.
You haven’t walked in the Victoria’s Secret show since 2007. Do you usually watch it on TV?
I don’t. I actually don’t watch TV that much. But I wish them luck. Every year, I talk to Ed [Razek, chief marketing officer and creative director at Victoria’s Secret].
Gosh so much text sorry guys
The campaign, still secret, was shot in New York in October. On top, he says: "after having worked with Gisele, I turned even bigger fan. Gisele is an unbelievable woman, has a light, beauty, professionalism, charisma, a set all in one woman only! ". -Marlon Texeira http://vogue.globo.com/moda/moda-news/noticia/2013/11/marlon-teixeira-fala-sobre-trabalho-ainda-secreto-com-gisele-bundchen.html
Don't be sorry. It's never too much when it comes to Gisele 
^ Marlon Taxeira needs to tell David Gandy that! I always thought Gandy's comments were really out of place given how 99% of the people who work with her reiterate Marlon's comments

Tom Brady and Gisele's Bodyguards Sent to Jail for Attempted Murder
This week, two bodyguards who worked for Tom Brady and Gisele were convicted of attempted murder for firing at photographers who were trying to get shots of the couple's 2009 Costa Rican wedding. The two guards — Miguel Solis and Alexander Rivas — approached two photographers outside the power couple's 50-person Costa Rican wedding celebration, and demanded they turn over their cameras and memory cards.
It is not clear whether the photographers — one of whom worked for AFP — turned over their equipment, although reports suggest they refused. Either way, as they left and attempted to drive away, the bodyguards fired a shot at them. No one was injured. In a unanimous decision, the bodyguards — who refused to testify — were each sentenced to five years in prison for the fired shot, and both will have to pay about $10,000 to each of the photographers. A third bodyguard charged in the incident was acquitted.
Gisele has claimed she had no knowledge of the shooting.

My e-mail has been flooded by this news for the past days due to my google alert on Gi, more than 20 mails with 5-6 links each,
Im getting annoyed when Gisele's name is brought into the mix when it doesn't need to be, ugh.
Kelly Clarkson mentions Gi again (she once was aasked who she would love to switch lives with for one day, and her answer was Gisele, lol.)
On how she figures she’ll be immune to pressure to rapidly drop the baby weight:
“I’ve never been Gisele Bündchen, so ain’t nobody expectin’ that! I like to set a [low] standard so people don’t expect a lot.”

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen–Inspired Holiday Dressing
There are great family photos—and then there are great family photos as evidenced here by (most of) the Brady bunch—Gisele, Tom, and son Benjamin—taking an afternoon stroll. Yes, we know, they make perfection seem completely effortless, but when it comes to your family’s look this holiday season, your sartorial strategy—from the travel bag to the dinner dress—should be all about one thing: classic comfort in muted, mix-and-match hues. The many combinations that can be found in a great boot, pair of jeans, a few sweaters, and a easy coat are nearly endless. It’s one chic way to reduce potential complications—at least on the fashion front—and what isn’t perfect about that?
