why is everyone so obsessed with her?
i mean she's hot and all..
but there are like at least ten people you can find with her in their signature and everyone is making blends, vectors, pictures, etc..of her.

I don't know.

I personally think Adriana is overrated. Some people list her as their "favourite model", when really, she doesn't qualify for a model. In the fashion industry, all she is known for is her VS advertisements and runway shows.And nothing else. Basically, her editorials have been given bad reviews, done no runway show other than VS, and covers: none. Only on ones like Maxim, GQ, etc, which are not fashion magazines.

I mean, at the very least, worship Gisele Bundchen. She has the sex appeal of Adriana and she is actually considered a successful model. Editorials: endless. Runway shows: endless. Covers: endless.

But, this is coming from someone who doesn't understand the appeal of import models like Kaila Yu or Tila Nguyen. Give me Isabeli Fontana any day. Even Erin Wasson over them. *shudder*

hmm... adriana lima IS a model, whether you think she qualifies or doesn't qualify...

she's been in magazine ads INCLUDING armani, bebe, etc... not JUST victoria secrets...

and just the fact that she's been on the runway makes her a model. that's her profession.

her face is mainly what makes her appealing to most designers (you mentioned blends and vectoring). i think it's her eyes because they have a sort of alluring look.

i dont think i've ever done a vector of her though.

personally, i like models like Gisele, Josie Maran, Estella Warren, and Heidy Plum better.

^ Sorry, I worded incorrectly.

That was just my opinion. Yes, I do consider her a model, but just not a very prominent one. If you want an idea of people I consider one of the top in the industry, I'd have to say Daria Werbowy. Of course, she does all the uber-high fashion. Adriana is much more commercial.

Haha, your not the only one. At first i didn't know who she is, until i started to see people post pictures of her in the picture forum. Then i thought she had a nice appeal, good for blends.

Cause she's gorgeous and cute I guess? Hmm is she from London? cause she has an accent of a british accent. Maybe it's just me, but she's a cute girl :D

my friends respond:

sean: cause she's stupid and dumb --- i love those girls with those kinds of personalities.
justin: hm... cause she's gorgeous?
brian: she has a sexy body than tyra banks!!

She's tremendously beautiful in my honest opinion. If you don't like her that's fine, but what's wrong if people decide to make web sites or graphics with her in them? She's their muse, leave them alone.

i think a lot of girls like adriana because they can identify with her image more closely than with tiny, delicate-featured blondes; it's different to see a model with full features, dark hair. IMO, she's gorgeous!

Mind you, Maybelline isn't exactly what you'd call "high fashion"? I'm just saying, she's commercial. It doesn't mean I don't respect her, or hate her.

I respect her as a model - she is very successful. Yes, I know what ads she's done, what cover's she done, what kinds of editorials, etc. I just don't understand why people go beserk over her when there are tons, TONS, more beautiful, and more successful models out there.

And Susan, for the love of God, Adriana Lima is from Brazil. Does the name Lima sound British to you?

It's hard to explain. It's not right to say she's not an "important" model, she's just not one of the prominent ones. I still like her, but I don't get what all the fuss is about.
