Lara Stone Spring Beauty ~ Glamour France

I just love Lara Stone.
I have a fabulous print of her mouth from Made By Girl
in my office.


And I was so gratified that when American Vogue saw fit to
out Kim Kardashian on their cover,
their competition, Harpers Bazaar chose instead
to utilize the gorgeous Lara.

Now Stone covers the new issue of Glamour France,
as well as starring in the spring beauty special,
where makeup artist Kim Rahman
gives Lara a variety of spring visages
photographed by Nico.

Kim and Kanye Vogue Cover

I'm at a loss for words.
Except for one word.
Why??


Anna Wintour decided to put Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
on the cover of the April 2014 issue of Vogue.
Perhaps the most coveted cover of them all,
generally respected as a definitive moment in a model's career,
or a well earned moment in an actress's or a musician's career.

And now a new goal for reality TV peeps.
I don't watch the Kardashians, so maybe I have missed something here.
I don't watch reality TV.
I don't know Kanye's music.
Apparently they are one of the most talked about couples in the world?
Annie Liebovitz shot it.

One thing I do know, is don't question Anna Wintour's thinking.

On the other hand,
Harpers Bazaar chose model Lara Stone
for their April 2014 cover.
I absolutely love it.


Vogue Paris saw fit to put sex bomb model
Cameron Russell on their April 2014 cover,
lensed by the one and only Mario Testino.

Top 10 Highest Paid Models 2013

The Forbes Magazine list of 
2013's top 10 highest paid models is out.

And its quite fascinating.

Gisele Bundchen, highest paid model in the world

The number one spot goes to Brazilian beauty Gisele Bundchen.
The wife Patriots quarter back Tom Brady earned a staggering $42 million dollars
keeping her as the highest paid model in the world for the 7th year running.
Her lucrative modeling contracts with giants 
including HM, David Yurman, Pantene, Oral B and Chanel
only add to the fortune she makes with Brazilian shoe company Grendene (she is partial owner),
and her eco friendly cosmetics company Sejaa.

Bundchen's income is 7 times that of the number two highest earner in the modeling world,
Miranda Kerr, who's income is estimated at $7.2 million.

Miranda Kerr Victoria's Secret

Kerr has pursued major contracts with companies outside of the USA, particularly in Asia
where she launched her skin care line, Kora, and where she has endorsement deals with giants including Lipton Tea and Proctor and Gamble detergent Bold.


The 3rd highest paid model in the world is Adriana Lima,
who's annual earnings are estimated at $6 million.

Most of Lima's income generates from Victoria's Secret, for whom she has modeled since 2000,
making her the company's longest running model.
6 of the top 10 models have sizeable contracts the the lingerie giant.

In the number 4 slot 39 year old British model, and my personal favorite,
the perennially fabulous Kate Moss dropped from last year's number 2 ranking,
with $5.7 million.

Although wingless, the divine Miss Moss has deals with Vogue Eyewear, Versace and Rimmel.



The 5th highest earner is Chinese supermodel Liu Wen,
who earned $4.3 million in the past year.

Estee Lauder model Hilary Rhoda's $4 million income put her in the 6th highest paid position,
as she entered her  7th year with the cosmetics giant.

The 7th spot is held by Carolyn Murphy,
who's earnings were $3.7 million.

Number 8 in the top 10 is Puerto Rican model Joan Smalls,
who is the first latina face of Estee Lauder.

This is Smalls' first year on the list,
with earnings estimated at $3.5 million.

The 9th highest paid model in the world is South African Candace Swanepoel,
who earned $3,3 million.


Candace Swanepoel for Victoria's Secret

Swanepoel, like several of the other top 10s has a sizeable contract with Victoria's Secret, but also earns from Max Factor, Versace and Juicy Couture.

And rounding out the top 10 highest paid models in the world,
with an income of $3.2 million is dutch model Lara Stone,
who earns from an exclusive deal with Calvin Klein.
