Gisele Bündchen Does GQ Magazine
Gisele Bündchen is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of GQ magazine. Here are a few pics from her photospread and an excerpt from her coverstory:
Gisele Bündchen is writhing on the sheets of a bed in one of those airplane-hangar-sized New York City photography studios. It’s the last setup of the day, and she’s wearing a black bra along with something skimpy, satiny, and dark that she will later describe to me, with a straight face, as “boys’ underwear.” She works really quickly. Her fluid poses are a kind of rapid sex-symbol Tai Chi—fingers pass through hair, arms extend above head—and she moves from one into the next without making a single awkward gesture. Her expressions, though, are really something. I don’t know how she manages not to cross the line into camp when she puts on a smoldering look, but she does. At one point, I find myself in her line of vision and our eyes meet, and while I’m only stating the obvious here, I must say, I am not man enough. A few minutes later, we’re sitting in swivel chairs in front of an enormous hair-and-makeup mirror that’s bordered by a million tiny lights, the kind of mirror normal people shun like a staph infection if they know what’s good for them. Gisele has changed into jeans and a gray T-shirt with an elaborately draped neck, and she is holding court. The sweet nothings, the air kisses, the swooning straight out of Versailles … Do you have a signature expression, like Zoolander’s “Blue Steel,” that you use when you want to be extra-seductive? A photo is a story. Who will be this woman? Who will be wearing those sexy tops with boys’ underwear? I try to understand. Who is she? What kind of mood is she in? Like, whatever, I’m in my bedroom. I’m like, my boyf—
And here she has the presence of mind to cut herself off. But we’ll get to her boyf later. it’s possible to locate the exact instant when Gisele Bündchen became the globe’s reigning icon of feminine perfection: an April 7, 1999, shoot in the studio of the legendary photographer Irving Penn. That shoot marked the demise of fashion’s so-called heroin-chic phase and the advent of a new, commercial era, in which models would dream of walking the runway for Victoria’s Secret as much as they would for, I’m spitballing here, Alexander McQueen. Penn, 81 at the time, photographed the 18-year-old Brazilian gazing enigmatically over her shoulder, her hair thickly tangled, her body completely nude. In its July 1999 issue, Vogue used the black-and-white photo to illustrate an editorial called “The Return of the Curve.” Gisele would appear on five of the magazine’s covers in the next year and would ignite an international fever for Brazilian models, and a more localized one in Hollywood for flip-flops and radioactively golden skin. Her Photoshop physique—volleyball-player limbs, Modigliani torso, actual breasts—would drive thousands of her countrywomen to seek implants (I’m not making this up; it was in The Wall Street Journal) and would help transform a cheesy mall-store company, Victoria’s Secret, into a cheesy megacorporation. Today Gisele says simply, “I was there at the right time, I guess. I was the Girl Who Did That Picture, you know?”
And the rest, as they say, is history. The interview is a very compelling one. I must admit, I’ve never really put too much thought into Gisele Bündchen the person. I see her photos, I hear about who she’s dating but I never really gave her much thought. This interview paints a fascinating picture of who she really is. It’s interesting to read her take on her modeling career and her romantic relationships (especially with Leonardo DiCaprio and, currently, with Tom Brady). I don’t really read many interviews with models (wait, do magazines ever interview models in the first place?) but this one I enjoyed. Click HERE to read the GQ interview with Gisele and judge for yourself. I think you’ll find she’s more than just a pretty face. There is no denying that these photos are sick as hell. She looks stunning in them. Some people were born to model … she is deffo one of those people.

She is so damn HAWT!! NO SHIT. I have and always will love her!! She is just to sexy for words!! Now we know what BECKS would look like if he was born with the opposite of his grand penis.

I actually thought the interview was pointless. She seems ditzy and out of touch. Not sure what Tom sees in her, beyond the obvious sex-benefits.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Meh, she’s okay I guess. Sarah Jessica Parker did the men’s underwear thing a few years ago.
June 17th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Gorgeous woman – though she ought to drop those men’s undies – not flattering – even for her.
June 17th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
One of the hottest women in the world. PERIOD.

I am intrigued to know why Trent is pushing the Team Giselle love fest so hard in this post. She’s a model, no one cares what she has to say. After this photo shoot maybe Playboy is next for her. Sarah Jessica Parker looked classy & classic in her men’s underwear. Also, why does GQ think their audience is straight men. When Tom Brady was on the cover a few months ago, I don’t think we even saw his shoulder. Where is the cover with DiCaprio or Bloom or Bana half naked. What about a photospread of Mark Wahlberg in a ladies thong or Justin Timberlake emerging from a pool with only white shorts on. How about Reggie Bush and Dwayne Wade sporting only jockstraps while playing their respective sports. What about Clooney, Pitt, Affleck & Damon robbing a casino wearing only shorty robes. Shia LeBeouf is the current cover model & that whole issue was a complete snore. It’s summer time & he’s sporting a trench coat. My point is …… I don’t know!!!!! I’m just sick of Hollywood & these lame ass actors our generation will forever be associated with. Good Day.

you can see gisele’s ribs.. what is sexy about that?
June 17th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
She looks anorexic(sp?) I always thought she was one of the “healthy” models? I don’t think she’s sexy at all! I think it’s kinda gross, and am sad that my boy Trent thinks this is “hawt”? Eh gads!
June 17th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
I’m sorry, but how did this interview show that she’s more than just a pretty face? Her answers were exactly what I’d expected from her. Sure, I get that she’s not all stuck-up and hasn’t let the fame get to the best of her, but let’s admit it, she’s not very intelligent. Stereotypes are there for a reason.

I HATE the new PINK! It’s a complete sellout, full of links and ads and all of Trent’s personality is gone. We’re not that stupid, Trent. Hope you become rich, because you’ve lost your integrity, and at least one reader.

Yeah, these pics of Gisele – I’m sorry but they are garbage. I’m not saying she doesn’t look beautiful, but what is so sexy about her simulating sex in this way? Seriously. She might as well just do porn. Because I don’t see much difference between porn a and what she’s doing here. Not classy, at all. Not tasteful, either. ANYONE can grab attention in this way…it’s nice to see that Gisele is selling women that much further down the river!

Im quite shocked by these picks of her. Normally, she looks healthy and curvy, not the stick thin model type. In these, she looks way too thin, and I thought that the industry was trying to get away from that look and bring back the natural woman. Oh well, another “image” for our young girls to become obsessed with and lose even more self worth. sad sad sad!

I really do not think this girl is attractive at all!! Srsly, she has really masculine features…not attractive at all!!!
June 18th, 2008 at 8:43 am
she’s not that beautiful, besides wasn’t she on awfulplasticsurgery.com for breast implants?
June 18th, 2008 at 9:09 am

Too Damn Skinny and the open legged shots are tacky, sorry….
June 18th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
UGH… she is wayyyyyyyyyy too skinny!!! what happened to the Marilyn Monroe days when women were volumptuous and curvy? Gisele is all bone and no shape. So not hot!!

Whore socks. What more do I need to say?
