It's
about time for a new face to usurp the throne of supermodel
queen - you know who I mean - and my money is on Adriana Lima.
This means the reign will remain with Brazil, of course, but
what country stands a chance against a gene pool that is simply
swimming with beauteous strokes: the ballerina legs, the plump
lips, the bold cheekbones, the mesmerizing azure eyes. These
are the alluring attributes that keep popping up in Brazilian
females with the frequency of Bush votes in a Republican recount.
Usually when I meet a cover model, pre-makeup, I am relieved
to find a face that is human, i.e. flawed in some way - a blemish
on a cheek, perhaps, or one eyebrow slightly askew - but flawed
nonetheless. When I met Adriana, a spunky 19-year-old in blue
jeans and a vintage tee, I looked into the magnetic eyes of
a first-place finisher in the final heat of the international,
gene-pool swim meet. Flawless!
