Model Mania!!! Lara Stone. :D!

biography

Birth Date: December 20, 1983

Country of origin: Netherlands

Lara Stone was born to a Dutch mother and an English father in the town of Geldrop, the Netherlands and grew up in Mierlo, Netherlands.First discovered in the Paris Metro when she was 12, she then went on to participate in the Elite Model Look competition at age 15. She became the primary choice for editorials and advertising campaigns after signing with IMG in 2006. Lara is not a fan of the runway because of her unusually small feet of someone of her size. Because the shoes are usually too big for her, she sometimes goes down the runway thinking "Do not fall, do not fall!" (from Vogue Paris interview Feb 09). Lara Stone was made Models.com #1 on the Top 50 List in February 2010.

Something I have been noticing with models new to the industry is they always have something they hate about themselves and it's often things that can't be fixed without surgery. I always say is it's what's unique about themselves is what makes them 'special'. Lara Stone is a great example of one of the busiest and highest paid models in the world and she has that ' gap '. THAT is why  she gets all the good contracts and is always in demand.

Karen Elson

There is also Karen Elson, one of the  most beautiful models.  A chameleon that can capture the beauty of the 1920's today. She walks the catwalk with a left leg that bends in, slightly enough to notice. She's in the TOP of the highest paid and we can never forget Cindy Crawford for that infamous mole.

I love models with that edge. They are not only beautiful, but inspiring.
