Frida and her mile long legs first grabbed my attention while skimming through comp cards from IMG last year.. The 16 year old stunner has the perfect couture figure and an amazingly photogenic face. It was a recent shoot with Miguel Reveriego for Numero #110 that made me realize she is one of those girls who grabs me and draws me in.. typically a sign of a star like other girls I've predicted such as Natasha Poly, Lily D and Anja Rubik..

Her versatility and poise are sure to take her to the straight to the stars.. and obviously IMG agrees with me..

Gemma Ward leaves me speechless.

I've opt'd to posting two of my favorite cover's that Gemma Ward has done in the past rather than recently emerged pictures taken of the model shopping in NYC. Her career was such a whirlwind fantasy that it is so hard to believe that one of fashions darlings has decided to retire. But after recently seeing pictures of her, its no wonder why as she was obviously suffering from serious eating issues during the length of her career.

Her recent paparazzi pictures show her in her full figured skin and it's ALMOST as shocking as when I first learned that one of my personal favorite Victoria Secret girls was stricken with a serious thyroid problem (Karolina Kurkova) Her beauty was unmistakable (regardless of the constant comparisons to Sasha Pivovarova)and she was the first girl to start the "bug eye" trend in the modeling industry. I hope she finds the balance she was seeking when she made the decision to retire so early.. and hopefully some sort of a healthier looking weight balance as well.

Caught My Eye...

Edita Vilkeviciute has officially caught my eye.. I'll be watching the girl.. shes got the stems of an orchid and the bone structure of a dream..
