Some observations about Natalia Vodianova and the Love Ball

I was stunned by a couple of things in the article linked above.  One, that I have not written any posts about Natalia Vodanova. Ever.  She's really good-looking, she's had no qualms about posing in the unclad (nude) mode, and she's also very successful, which means she's in a lot of different venues.  I thought I had posted about something she said about looking even prettier when she's pregnant, and how easy it is/was for her to get pregnant.  (I am thinking that it was not hard to want to get her pregnant, spouse-wise, but after their third kid she and her hubby and children's father broke up.  Not surprisingly, she's got a new, rich, boyfriend.)

OK, searching around, it wasn't that she was prettier when she was pregnant, it was because she got more like the glamor industry wanted after her first child, when she lost a lot of weight due to  child-rearing efforts (apparently). If she kept the breasts but lost the hips, I can see why she'd be more marketable.

Two, I was stunned how I missed that she's so popular that she's one of the world's highest-paid fashion models.  The Calvin Klein and Guerlain gigs surely helped.  But I haven't posted ANYTHING about one of the world's best-paid and best-looking women - more so because she looks like she does after THREE kids?  Wow.

So here's a selection.

Yes, she really has three kids

And three, I was stunned in this Daily Mail article about the Love Ball by how big Karl Lagerfeld's head is. He's got a large dish, and the way he dresses makes it look even larger, and the camera angle might have had something to do with it, but still, it's just outlandish.
