With David Hemmings in Blow Up 1966

Model Veruschka is the subject of a limited edition, cloth bound monograph illuminating her career. As a child, her father was a key member of the German Resistance in East Prussia & was executed for taking part in the attempted assassination of Adolph Hitler.  Her & her family then spent the remainder of the war in concentration camps.

At 20 she entered the world of modeling.  But it was brief appearance in the 1966 film Blowup by Michelangelo Antonioni which began with the words "Here I am" that brought her recognition.

That same year she began doing her now infamous nude shoots wearing only body paint & camouflaging herself into different environments.  She worked with everyone from Salvador Dali to Peter Beard, Richard Avedon and has 11 Vogue covers under her belt!

Rihanna + Gucci = Flawless

Rihanna has been chosen by Gucci to star in their new ad campaign to honor its relationship with UNICEF.  Designer Frida Gianni hand picked her because she "felt a musician & a beautiful women was the perfect icon for this campaign."

perfection.

I have to admit I didnt get it intil I saw her in her new movie Wanted.

I mean, I knew she was Beautiful but I had no clue just how beautiful.

Didn't help that the last movie I saw was Sex and in the City, and as much as I love those girls

they look better on my 42 inch TV! (if  you know what I mean)

I just hope her and brad just keep having babies, to create the worlds most beautiful family.

Is there an award for that?  Seems like we should have one in this day an age.
