‘Goofy’ Alba tops hot list
By Herald wire services
Wednesday, May 23, 2007

Jessica Alba may insist she’s really a “dork,” but the “Fantastic Four” star still has the readers of FHM magazine drooling over her bodacious bod. Alba topped FHM’s 2007 “100 Sexiest Women in the World” poll, bumping last year’s winner, Scarlett Johansson down to third place.
“People think of me as just a sexy girl,” Alba told InStyle magazine, “but I’m really goofy - like, super goofy.”
Not that she doesn’t understand what makes men weak in the knees.
“I had womanly curves at a young age,” the former “Dark Angel” beauty adds. “Usually, kid actors are a few years older than the roles they play. I was two or three years younger.”
“American Idol” cutie Katherine McPhee- with a hot new look and hit self-titled debut album - came in second to Alba in the “Sexy” poll and Tom Brady [stats]’s Brazilian boo, Gisele Bundchen, shot up from her 2006 standing as the 83rd sexiest woman to steal the No. 4 slot from Jessica Simpson. Simpson dropped down the list to 15th place this year.
Bundchen’s fellow Brazilian beauty, Victoria’s Secret model, Alessandra Ambrosio jumped intofifth place all the way from No. 56 last year.
Topping off FHM’s Top 10 are “The Illusionist” star, Jessica Biel; Victoria’s Secret catwalker Adriana Lima; globe-trotting do-gooder Angelina Jolie; “Pirates of the Caribbean” actress Keira Knightley; and Victoria’s Secret’s Marisa Miller.

Look up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a...Victoria Secret model?

The Hollywood invasion of the scantily clad lingerie models is upon us.

On Nov. 12, nearly 30 models, including Heidi Klum, Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, Selita Ebanks, Marisa Miller and Miranda Kerr, will arrive in Los Angeles on a special Virgin America flight from New York City for the much anticipated Victoria’s Secret fashion show, which will take place three days later at the Kodak Theatre.

Not only will the plane be branded with the Victoria’s Secret logo, but each of the models will be resting their pretty little heads on custom pillows and wrapping their flawless bodies in matching blankets.

The next day, the models will shut down a part of Hollywood Boulevard when Victoria’s Secret gets its own star in front of the Kodak.

The Angels will once again be gracing the cover of GQ UK. Last year it was to be the May issue but was pushed back to June. We will post information as we get it. As of now, four of the angels are on the cover this year. But that may change (as it was supposed to be all of them last year and turned into a fold out!)

2007 VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW FACTOIDS
  • For over 8 months, an international team of renowned designers and stylists worked to design and create the sexy runway looks worn by the 30 supermodels at the 2007 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
  • The show included 15 corsets, show pieces and accessories that were embellished with CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements and made exclusively for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show by Australian jewelry designer Jenny Manik Mercian and took over 6 months to make.
  • The lingerie, wings and scenery were embellished with more than 1 million CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements for the fashion show.
  • Parisian shoe designer Christian Louboutin made 75 pairs of custom designed shoes and boots especially for the show.
  • It required over 3 months and a team of 42 people to produce the 11 pairs of Angel wings that were designed by famed wingman Martin Izquierdo for this year's show.
  • The retractable snowflake wings worn by Supermodel Heidi Klum in the last section of the show was a first in that the beautiful snowflake expanded to 10 feet in width as she stepped out on to the runway.
  • Supermodel Karolina Kurkova's opening look featured a custom made outfit created by LeSage. This incredible creation was made of sequins and included a corset, jacket, boots and a headdress. Costing $20,000, it was the single most expensive outfit in the history of the fashion show.
  • Supermodel Selita Ebanks was also strutting down the runway in a high price tag herself. She modeled the Very Sexy Fantasy Set costing $4.5 million. This set was created exclusively for VS by famed international jeweler Mouawad.
  • For the first time ever, Victoria's Secret and Mouawad designed an entire set to go along with the Fantasy Bra and panty by adding a hair pin, garter and cuff. All pieces of the Fantasy gift set were encrusted with diamonds, emeralds, rubies and yellow sapphires taking over 880 hours to make.
  • This year's show included 2 feather trains and 1 cape that were all over 10 feet in length and took over 3 months to create. All of these masterpieces were made of rare feathers.
  • VS had to charter a DC-9 cargo plane and 63 foot line haul truck in order to ship the outfits, wings, shoes, makeup and wardrobe supplies from New York to Los Angeles for the show.
  • Twenty-five cartons of Very Sexy Makeup were shipped from New York to LA to be used on the models for the show.
  • Of course, the show would not be complete without shimmering, bronze, scented skin which is why the Victoria's Secret Bare Bronze Bronzing Booth was created exclusively for the show. Before hitting the runway, the Angels achieved their golden glow by using Bare Bronze Self-Tan Tint, Leg-Perfecting Spray Tint, Sexy Sparkle Shimmer Moisture Mist, Sexy Sparkle Body Oil and Body Powder.
  • It took 18 makeup artists, 15 hair stylists, 8 nail technicians, and 7 body bronzers to prep and a beautify the 30 models for the fashion show. Four massage therapists were also on hand to help the models unwind during their breaks.
  • Over 40 bottles of Victoria's Secret Sexy Sparkle Body Powder in Vanilla Gold was used to make the sexy bodies on the runway shimmer!
  • The most popular lipstick and lip gloss at the fashion show was undeniably Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Makeup Perfect Lipstick in VIP and Very Sexy Makeup Lip Gloss in Intimate. So popular that the models wore the shades for the rest of the evening.
  • The sexy vibe continued on into the evening as the after party began at the Renaissance Hotel. Alessandra Ambrosio, Selita Ebanks, Adriana Lima, Izabel Goulart and Miranda Kerr were all spotted busting a move on the dance floor.
  • A party is the only way to describe the atmosphere backstage where the all of the models danced away to the music while they waited their turn to walk the runway.
  • Approximately 73 gallons of Imperia Vodka were consumed at the after party.

The 2007 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will air on the CBS,

HOLLYWOOD - Honorary Hollywood Mayor Johnny Grant will embark on his 60th -- and final -- overseas tour Friday to entertain U.S. troops stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

"It will be a bittersweet trip for me," Grant said. "The USO and military has been a big part of my life, ever since WWII, when as a GI, I emceed a show and introduced Bob Hope. He encouraged me to come to Hollywood when the war was over. Hope gave me the combination to the joke file lock and sent me to March Field to stand in for him 55 years ago, and I haven't stopped since."

Grant, 84, will not be traveling alone. Also expected to take part in the trip are Victoria's Secret models Selita Banks, Adriana Lima and Marisa Miller, along with actresses Stefani Powers, Kate Linder and Karri Turner.

The celebs will all take part in a "Hollywood-style" parade on the base Saturday, with Grant serving as grand marshal.

"Hollywood has had a long relationship with our military, and USO handshake tours like this trip to Guantanamo reinforce that wonderful tradition," Grant said. "The troops love it."

Grant has been traveling on USO tours 65 years, visiting troops in Korea, Vietnam, Beirut, the Persian Gulf and the Balkans.

Adriana Lima, star of upcoming Victoria's Secret Super Bowl advertisement. (PRNewsFoto/Victoria's Secret)

Lingerie and Beauty brand will advertise on broadcast and host pre-Bowl party

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Victoria's Secret will advertise during FOX's broadcast of the National Football League's Super Bowl XLII airing on Sunday, February 3rd. The advertisement is part of the brand's Valentine's Day marketing efforts, which also include a pre-Bowl VIP party, the release of the What Is Sexy? 2008 list and the premiere of the "Victoria's Secret: What is Sexy? 2008" television special airing on E! Entertainment Television.

"Valentine's Day is an important holiday for the brand and with this year's Super Bowl being positioned so close to February 14th, we had a unique opportunity to use one of the year's highest rated television programs as a vehicle to launch our efforts surrounding Valentine's Day,"says Victoria's Secret Chief Marketing Officer Jill Beraud.

Victoria's Secret Angel Adriana Lima stars in the 30-second spot, which was creatively conceived in-house for the Super Bowl. The ad's only broadcast TV airing will be during the Super Bowl telecast February 3; however the ad will be posted to the Victoria's Secret website (http://www.victoriassecret.com) at midnight after the game until March 11th.

The brand last ran a spot during the 1999 Super Bowl telecast to dramatize that year's upcoming Victoria's Secret Fashion Show webcast and pull attention to the Victoria's Secret website which had launched in 1998. The result was groundbreaking -- 1.2 million people left their Super Bowl viewing to log on to the Victoria's Secret website after the commercial ran in the first quarter of the game. The live webcast of the fashion show which occurred a few days later drew a then record-breaking 1.5 million viewers, crashing the website.

On the eve of the game, Victoria's Secret will unveil their 3rd annual What is Sexy? list and celebrate with a VIP and Celebrity party in Scottsdale, AZ. As America's sexiest brand, Victoria's Secret has been the authority on who and what is the sexiest, naming categories including actor and actress, male and female musician, athlete, eyes, lips and even mom and dad. The What Is Sexy? 2008 Valentine's Day party hosted by Victoria's Secret Angels including Adriana Lima, Karolina Kurkova and Selita Ebanks, will be Super Bowl weekend's most exclusive engagement. The Valentine's Day themed event will feature celebrity pink carpet arrivals and surprise performances and will take place at Scottsdale's Taste Ultra Lounge.

In addition, E! Studios Productions and Ryan Seacrest Productions have joined forces with Victoria's Secret for a one-hour special entitled "Victoria's Secret: What is Sexy? 2008" airing Saturday, February 9th on E! Entertainment Television. The one-hour program, hosted by angel Adriana Lima, is Victoria Secret's first-ever television special on their What is Sexy? list and features the winners on this year's list complete with exclusive interviews from some of today's hottest names and a full recap of some of the winners from previous years. E!'s special also takes viewers inside the Victoria's Secret What is Sexy? 2008 Valentine's Day party.

Victoria's Secret plans flirty ad for watchers
Source: The Arizona Republic (azcentral.com)

QUOTE
NEW YORK - Victoria's Secret is back as a Super Bowl advertiser for the first time since 1999.

The chain's first foray into the game showed the power of a TV-Web tie-in and stretched what was considered Super Bowl fare. The lingerie retailer's return is likely to draw scrutiny again, however, because the game's ads have been closely watched for taste and content since the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction of 2004.

"Somebody will make noise about it just as they do another dozen commercials," says Ed Razek, chief creative officer for Victoria's Secret. "If you are in the business of lingerie and supermodels, you do an ad about lingerie and supermodels."

This year's ad, however, is coyly G-rated. Supermodel Adriana Lima is modest by Victoria's Secret standards as she sits in a chair tossing a football and flirting. The theme: the games men and women play.

"It has a very flirty, sexy tone but is different from our other ads," says Jill Beraud, chief marketing officer.

Says Razek, "This ad is classy. This isn't GoDaddy.com." GoDaddy, back for a fourth consecutive Super Bowl, is expected again to flaunt buxom women.

Victoria's Secret's first Super Bowl ad promotes its online fashion show. The ad lured more than a million people to the site, which crashed. These days, Victoria's Secret's site can draw that many daily.

The retailer bought time in the Feb. 3 game, for which 30-second slots are going for up to $2.7 million, to drive Valentine's Day sales. It is the chain's second-biggest sales period behind Christmas.

The retailer needs a Valentine boost. It struggled through the recent holidays, as consumers spent cautiously, and fashion lingerie competition continues to be heated. Parent Limited Brands reported last week an 8 percent decline in comparable store sales for the five weeks ending Jan. 5 versus the similar period a year ago.

Buyers for the two holidays are about 40 percent male, versus 95 percent women the rest of the year. That makes the huge Super Bowl audience appealing - about 60 percent male but still including more women than watch the Oscars.

"These are the only two times of the year when we talk to both men and women," says Beraud.

The ad will be shown first at a VIP party on the game's eve in Phoenix. At the event, Victoria's Secret also will release its annual "What is Sexy?" list. New England quarterback Tom Brady, who may be in the game, is no stranger to Victoria's Secret models (he dates Gisele Bundchen) and three years ago made the inaugural list, which features sexy people and trends.

Razek said he wrote the ad in three minutes and shot the commercial in 20. "It just came together in this kismet moment where everything converges."

Lingerie model Adriana Lima pushes push-up bras at Natick mall

The New England Patriots still aren’t sure they’ll make it to Glendale, Ariz., for the Super Bowl, but one supermodel - no, not Gisele - has already booked her flight.

Adriana Lima will be deep in the action, hosting a pregame party with other Victoria’s Secret “Angels” and taking in the big game. She’ll also appear in a 30-second ad that cost the lingerie company a reported $2.7 million.

“I know Gisele is dating Tom Brady,” said the Brazilian Lima, pronouncing the quarterback’s name “BRA-dee” (As if Victoria’s Secret needs another way to pitch its underwear).

“That’s all I know (about football),” she continued. “Once I (go to the Super Bowl), I’m going to follow every game.”

Last night, the dark-haired beauty with the striking eyes met fans at Victoria’s Secret in Natick to sign copies of this month’s Esquire magazine (she and other Angels appear on the cover). But earlier in the day, Lima played company cheerleader, steering visiting media to the latest Victoria’s Secret products.

On a tour of the Natick mall store, she professed the black Very Sexy Low Cut push-up bra to be her favorite.

“It makes me feel like I’m Sophia Loren,” said the 34B. “I love the hints of lace. It’s truly sexy.”

Pausing en route to the fragrance shelves to answer a question about her love life, Lima said she was three months into a relationship with an NBA player (the reported lucky one is Marko Jaric of the Minnesota Timberwolves).

“I’m not married, but I want to be,” said the 26-year-old Lima, who proclaimed her virginity to GQ in 2006, explaining that sex was for after marriage.

Her support of abstinence is at odds with her Victoria’s Secret image. Photos of Lima in seductive poses are scattered throughout the store. (A few pictures of Gisele, who didn’t renew her contract with Victoria’s Secret, remain.)

When asked whether she’d prefer Gisele’s choice of man (an athlete) or former supermodel Carla Bruni’s (French President Nicolas Sarkozy), Lima didn’t miss a beat.

“It doesn’t matter what they do, as long as they’re hard workers,” she said.

Then it was back to the selling floor, where Lima stopped at the display of Angels Air Push-Up bras. “I like to have the cleavage always,” she said, picking up a pistachio bra and thong set.

In a last-ditch attempt to get the supermodel/fembot off the merchandise talk, this reporter asked about her favorite kind of date. After a hovering publicist interrupted to make sure she was comfortable with the question, Lima fumbled for an answer.

“If he cooks for me and sets up a nice dinner and flowers,” she said.

Then she added: “Don’t forget the present, too.”

Victoria's Secret Angels Adriana Lima, Selita Ebanks, Izabel Goulart and Karolina Kurkova hosted media and VIPs at the lingerie company's gifting suite Saturday morning at Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain in Paradise Valley.

The four preternatural beauties towered over guests in jeans, Victoria's Secret T-shirts and cropped jackets. They were as pretty as one might expect.

Growing up the Cayman Islands, she was known as "bug eyes," "chicken bones" or "praying mantis," but fans, or underwear buyers, know Ebanks as one of Victoria's Secret's hot-bodied Angels.

Raised with seven brothers, she says she was a tomboy. Not anymore.

"Now I'm obsessed with lingerie... I clean my house in Victoria's Secret underwear. I'll wear a merry widow, some stockings... It's important to feel feminine."

How was does one keep in lingerie shape? For Ebanks, three times a week at the gym to get toned, focusing on lots of squats.

"You can see the videos," she said, pointing to the flat screen TV on the wall, "It's all about the booty at Victoria's Secret."

Linda Hay, head Victoria's Secret makeup artist and the creator of the iconic shimmering skin, smokey-eyed, dewy-lipped aesthetic, was on hand to offer tips on her favorite products and to talk about what it's like to make the world's most beautiful women even prettier.

"I use the same rules that apply to everybody: makeup should enhance, not transform," said the lightly made-up blonde. "I want the face to be as pretty as it can be, not too hard, to have soft edges, a little out-of-focus. That's sexy.

She said she always starts out her makeup applications on the Angels by smoothing them down with a moisturizer-self-tanner blend of her own devising.

"Then I use even more products to make it more glorious, shimmer powders and so on," she said with a smile.

Then it's on to sultry eyes using the Very Sexy Mosaic Eyeshadow compact, shimmery lips done in the Beauty Rush glosses and, well, a lot of other makeup that's pretty involved.

On Friday, the gifting suite had several VIP visitors, including Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, Charlie Sheen's fiancée, Brooke Mueller, Daddy's Little Girls star Gabrielle Union and the wife of Super Bowl XLII halftime performer Tom Petty, Dana York.

They had their hair and makeup done and enjoyed such free goodies as bras, panties, lip glosses and perfumes, packed up in the signature pink striped bags.

Super Bowl Sunday is more than just about some football game, it is about the Super Bowl Ads as well. From the Obama girl to the Go Daddy girl, to Victoria's Secret, the Super Bowl ads will deliver something for everyone and a whole lot of cleavage for the male viewing demographic. Sexy Adriana Lima will give men a choice between football and the bedroom holding up a football while Doris Day croons "I'm in the Mood for Love" in the Victoria's Secret spot.
