What do you think about shooting swimwear vs. lingerie?

Shooting swim is my favorite part about being a Victoria’s Secret Angel.  When you’re shooting lingerie, it is a little more restricted because you wouldn’t do certain poses. Whereas with swim, you can be more free and really move your body.  It is less controlled at the beach, and I like to be rolling in the sand (insert flirty South African accent here), getting down and dirty in the water.

Do you have any fitness tips for this coming swim season? 

I travel with ankle weights when I’m doing swim and the night before the shoot I do some lifts.  Keeping in shape all year round is important to me, not just getitng into shape when the swim season is coming up.  I box, do a lot of resistance, work with a trainer 3-4 times a week.  Now that Spring is finally here it is easier to work out in the mornings, rather than in the winter when its cold and dark so you just don’t want to!

How about your diet? 

I eat a lot of protein so I can build muscle but I dont really restrict myself from any certain foods.  I grew up on a dairy farm so  I drink a lot of milk and I’m a major carnivore.

Tell us about your cover look.

I really love the cover look.  They’ve mixed a lot of animal prints so its really savage, and with a tan the look is just amazing.  I like to wear my bikinis really tiny like in Brazil.

Which are your favorite suits from this collection? 

There are so many different styles!  I love the striped ones, the floral prints, the triangle shapes that fit everyone’s body, and I love the new Gorgeous collection that pushes you up a lot but still makes you still feel natural.  I also wore black this entire winter, so I’m ready to change it up with fun colors.

- Noted wheeler and occasional dealer Pat Sajak claims he’s hosted Wheel of Fortune drunk on many an occasion. In fact, he and Vanna White used to knock back “two or three or six” maggy ritas during lunch. Or what I like to call a Wednesday. [The Hollywood Reporter]

-Here’s a preview of Adriana Lima‘s Super Bowl commercial for Kia. Mid-sized economy cars just got a whole lotta sexy:

The collection was produced in-house and features bras, panties, garter belts, baby dolls, teddies, a kimono and a merry widow corset, retailing from $98 to $298. Some were seen on the runway during the VS Fashion Show back in November, sprinkled in among the regular underthings. It’s understandable if you didn’t notice, though, what with Miranda Kerr‘s $2.5 million assets stealing the spotlight. [WWD]

Lancôme's spokesmodel has been heating up Chanel campaigns, Vogue editorials, and apparently Google.

This 38-year-young top model is still demanding top money. This Vogue shot is from 2003, and she was just featured in Tom Ford's campaign.

Stunning runways and covers and everything in between, she also the star of the soon to be released film “Belle du Seigneur.” She's also quite the giver and is involved in charity work, like the one she founded, Naked Heart Foundation which builds parks for kids in Russia.

As famed for her gap tooth smile as she is for being Carine Roitfeld's obsession, the Calvin Klein spokesmodel and current Pirelli calendar star has a distinctly well proportioned body and a face to remember.

This Victoria's Secret angel is one of the top paid in the biz according to Forbes. Shot here by Mario Testino for Italian Vogue, her versatility is stunning.

The face of Christian Dior is an Angel. Having guest starred on Entourage several years back, she got the boys in her breast pocket.

Once proclaimed by Forbes to be the world's first billionaire supermodel, she has captivated every lens she ever stepped before.

The first model I said I would switch teams for is one of the most fiery models on the planet. Maybe it's Maybeline, for which she is the spokemodel, but most likely it's her innate hottness, highlighted with a touch of makeup.

This perfect 10 is in. After the Project Runway host popped on her Angel wings for the Victoria's Secret runway show 6 weeks after popping out a baby, she's been superglued to supermodel legend status.

How do you beat a perfect 10? Be Kate Moss. Her weighty digital imprint does not match the waifish body that made her a star. She has covered more than 40 issues of Vogue and accrued more scandals than her BFF Naomi Campbell and John Galliano combined: she made size 0 the standard. She is the golden standard.

BTW Adriana is ridiculously hilarious.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Burberry body has gone to the trenches.

She may have easily shed that baby weight, but Miranda Kerr couldn't shed her insatiable cravings for White Castle.

Hiding beneath Lindsay Ellingson's multiple chins are even more chins and a Snickers bar from earlier.

Lily Aldridge still models, sometimes moonlighting at the local Lane Bryant.

Erin Heatherton loves her new, fuller frame. Sure she misses the glitz and glamour of fashion, but not as much as she used to miss carbs.

Adriana Lima, from protein shakes to milk shakes.

When Doutzen Kroes rolled out of bed this morning, she continued rolling until she rolled into a shallow ditch, where she's currently flaying like a helpless foal.

After Chanel Iman put on a few, Kanye West dumped her because he claimed she took up more room than his ego.

You can call Candice Swanepoel Candy, but don't call her late for dinner. Or lunch. Or especially her post-breakfast, pre-lunch, mid-morning snack.

Just because Behati Prinsloo is a plus-sized girl nowadays doesn't mean she's still not a fashion plate. I mean, check out that sassy hat that Mayim Bialik left on the set of Blossom 20 years ago.

Alessandra Ambrosio is still a Brazilian bombshell, even if there are a few more gigatons of explosives in her casing.

I’m not quite sure if any of these girls could lip sync for their lives in front of a Ms. RuPaul but they damn sure look sexy trying. Check out the vid below & make sure you tune in tomorrow night to see the actual “secret” fashion show.

“It’s a big moment of change in fashion,” Roitfeld said of the covers. “In some cases, you feel like it’s the end of an era. I have been feeling this with cover subjects, and especially models. These eight girls are unique, not one is like the other. Candice is the only blonde and blue-eyed of this new generation of supermodels. Joan is black, Sui He is Asian, Hanna is North African. It’s their diversity that makes each of them, to me, truly modern. They bring a new energy to fashion.”

What’s your favorite thing to do when you’ve got lots and lots of time on your hands?

“[whispers] Oh that’s a nice one. I love to travel, but I really love to hang out with my Grandaughters downstairs. I’m on 10, they’re on 5. It’s not too difficult to find time when I’m done with my coffee. We are on another roll I tell you! I’m doing a lot of appearances. I’m on the road doing promotions or opening new stores. It’s a very busy time now, but I love it. I heard a great quote on the radio the other day; Mark Twain said, ’Make your vacation your vocation.’ Is that interesting? Or make your vocation your vacation. That’s a little harder to to. I felt, Old Marky and I, he must have been overworked. He must have been a workaholic. But I love what I’m doing.”

Your daughter, Lulu, werqed it on the runway last week. Is she pursuing modeling, or is that walk just for you?

“No, no, no, the show inspiration was of a voluptuous figure, which Lulu has always had and stood for. Last time she was on the runway was in 2000 when I did a show with the Playboy Bunnies. She was the best on that runway. She knows how to do [cups her hands a few inches from her breasts, gives a hunch]… She would never dream of modeling, she would have to loose 2/3 of her body weight. I dont know, maybe Victoria’s Secret? All the Victoria’s Secret models come off of my runway, because I let them be sexy, you know, flaunt it. And sure enough it’s easy to get them, then they’re scooped up by Victoria and you can’t get them anymore.”

Case in point: Candice Swanepoel 

What do your new timepieces tell us about you?

“What I love is that they always have stuff for young, my granddaughter sometimes. A skull with a bow in this watch. They go from kitty to grandma. From classic to cute. Twinkly to chic. I dont know, anyway. They’re great, beautifully made. Great weight, which is very important to me in a watch. I had lots of fun doing it, great company. I just really love them. The numbers are big, they have a real weight to them…I mean Frankie has me down. Frank, he owns the company… Frankie what’s your last name?”

We can forgive her unreliable memory so long as she continues to turn out the you-go-girliest pieces in the industry.

I’ve never been one to criticize Hustler’s Larry Flynt, because at the end of the day, most of us will prostitute ourselves for page views. I guess the above is a business article?

Perhaps I sound erratic on Benjamin Kanarek Blog (BKBlog), criticizing Emmanuelle Alt for not being sensual enough and making the case that sexuality in marketing is spot on when done with class, sensitivity and brand relevance one day — and wondering out loud whether as bloggers and journalists, we have any codes of proper use of nudity on websites the next.

Questions

Are we filtering these articles and images for the search engines (AOC does religiously) or are we just saying f*** it? We all know sex generates Page Views, but I see some fashion bloggers/trendmeisters upping the ante big time the last few weeks.

Gone is the word ‘nudity’ in an advance warming, fewer nsfw, screen captures from videos that take a fashion brand moment on the runway and make it a voyeuristic come-on for page views.

Our use of nudity is not only filtered for the search engines. We advise in advance with a warning, and almost never open with nudity in the two images that comprise the excerpt. We will never use a naked body or nipples for the website lead without an extraordinarily good reason.

The only one that comes to mind was Eniko on NOWNESS because every image involved nudity and selling prestige jewelry, the images were too important to ignore.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

When I look in the mirror, I must answer to myself on this complex issue: when am I cashing in on nudity for web traffic? When am I exploiting the female body, as a person who believes that physicality is not a sin?

Women trust me to make the right decision, to balance their desire for respectability with an exploration of their sensuality. They write me that they have never felt treated so beautifully in their lives as they do on Anne of Carversville. It must be my woman’s touch . . . Or an ounce of ethics.

These images are just another commercialization of women’s bodies . . . A tendency thousands of years old. Mind you, AOC stands for liberalism on nudity, but preferably within a thinking-person’s context. When one purports to write a business article and features Candice Swanepoel nude as the big picture, the website is trolling for page views.

These images are just a gratuitous selling of sex for web traffic, and I don’t believe the strategy will carry the day long-term with an audience that is predominantly female. Alexa.com gender demographics for the two websites validate my point that they shouldn’t piss off the women.

Nudity Is Great When Properly Used

I am the first person to agree that women like and pursue editorials that feature nudity. This is why I’m fighting to put more sensuality in our lives, to open Pandora’s box on these issues.

Ironically, AOC has more gender balance in our readers, because guys actually try to understand my female perspective. More balanced use of nudity and more thoughtful guys relating to ideas and discourse. Interesting factoid.

Importance of Boundaries

Do bloggers have an ethical position of just how far we will go with nudity? Will Alexa.com rank determine the answer? As the competition heats up, will more naked bodies be the headlines — and not the insider content — of fashion blogging websites? Do we have any obligations to take a few moments, trying to search for a model’s name? Or is she just a naked body?

Granted, we all recognize Candice Swanepoel.

Thankfully, at least the name Lise Charmel (image below) is now spelled correctly. On Friday I thought the brand name — Lise Sharmel — didn’t matter at all. The purpose was page views of ti** and not a prestige lingerie brand, whose name could be verified in a 5 second Google search.

We all make mistakes and my own typos have caused private memos from readers asking “how can such a brilliant woman make so many typos”? Because I type 90 wpm, but it’s no excuse.

Nudity As Natural or Intellectual

I predict a sorting out between those of us who do feature nudity with class and to make an intellectual point, while abiding by search engine rules concerning the filtering of images — and those of us who cash in on nipples and naked bodies for page views.

The mantra of Anne of Carversville is ‘telling women’s stories from fashion to flogging’. The good guy/bad guy continuum is much tighter and more closely linked on these topics, than we want to admit — which is why strong support among male readers thrills me.

Most open-minded women want to be honored in our physicality, and not used for purely commercial purposes.

Perhaps the sensitivity tide will rise if we protest against our own kind? Or all we all just pornographers at heart, and let people like me get off our high horses?

To be continued . . . Anne

From Benjamin Kanarek Blog

According to the mag, the top 10 female models earned a combined $112 million this year, 30% more than they did last year (a measly $86.5 M). Newer girls, however, aren’t seeing the same Super paydays ever since the recession. Which explains why Gisele made nearly half of that $112 M.

1. Gisele $45 mil

2. Heidi Klum $20 mil

3. Kate Moss $13.5 mil

4. Adriana Lima $8 mil

5. Alessandra Ambrosio $5 mil

6. Daria Werbowy $4.5 mil

7. Lara Stone $4.5 mil

8. Carolyn Murphy $4.3 mil

9. Natalia Vodianova $4 mil

10. Candice Swanepoel $3 mil
