Brazil Akimbo // Shepherding

Isabeli runs for the hairy hills in the latest Vogue Brasil; AnA approves the cover, mostly for the shading around the cheekbone and the amount of shearling and feathered bits.

She spends most of the story flipping her hair and jumping about in fairly mannish autumn attire. At least patchwork is back in style. Give the girl a whip, a lead and make her ride those animals! That's what we want, a model on a sheep whilst wearing wool.

In The News Akimbo // Vogue Cover

The May 2009 cover of American Vogue has a lineup of "The Faces Of The Moment." Love the return of models, all smiling with their eyes. If I see Sienna Miller or Renee Zellweger in this rag again I'll scream. Anyway, here is the main front followed by a shot of the other girls on the fold-out.

Very 60s, Bardot tossled hair here, and soft makeup to die for.

Surpises in the line-up include Lara Stone's presence and Chanel Iman's absence. It's very commercial pretty. I'm counting: 3 Brazilians, 2 Russians, one German, one Brit, one Pole and one Ethiopian. Nothing to write home about, but no American models for American Vogue?

Two Heads are Better than One : How to Model a Handbag with Natalia & Isabeli

'The Shoulder'

- Put 2 gorgeous heads side by side. One slightly in the foreground. Preferably the head with giant blue eyes.

-Place the handbag strap gingerly over both shoulders. Be sure to get those shoulders in the light.

- 1 girl must cradle the bag from below whilst the other lightly grasps the strap from the side.

- Now purse your lips and... pose!

'The Hold On For Your Life'

- Switch it up and bring the olive skinned beauty to the front.

- Doe-eyed girl should stand behind and suggestively place her hands around the bronzed bombshell right around the crotch area.

- Cover those hands with a giant purse.

-Now grab that bag like you're life depends on it and give a fierce stare.

Good job kids, that's all for today. More tomorrow though so practice!

You made Mama proud.
