In a recent story written by Forbes Magazine, Gisele Bundchen, a Brizilian supermodel is earning the highest yearly income ever recorded for a model. Bundchen is currently pulling in 35 million dollars a year. However, this income does not just come from her modeling career, but also her own shoe apparel. She has branded herself to be at the top of the list. She is making well over Hedi Klum, the famous Victoria Secret model. Bundchen is just 27 and dating quarterback Tom Brady, but don't let this alter your views, Bundchen is making her own name for herself rather than living off Brady's.
I think this is absolutely amazing that a model can bring in 35 million dollars a year. This shows that our nation is becoming completely obsessed with looks. Everyone wants to look like Bundchen because she is absolutely gorgeous. Retailers understand this and are willing to pay her just about anything to have her face on their advertisements. The sad truth about all of this is that there is only one Bundchen out there. So why do we have the standard of thinking Bundchen is the perfect one?
It's interesting: I don't even find Gisele that attractive. Sure, her body's great, but she has a . . . strange face. Maybe that's just me, though.
