Gisele Bündchen on Money, Tom Brady, and Eating Disorders

We’ve always had a girl crush on Gisele Bündchen. Even though we’d pale in comparison walking next to her, we would love to be her best friend forever. Why? To start, the woman inspires us to work out until we’ve sweat enough to fill a swimming pool. Second, we like that in a day when it’s hard to find celebrities without resident camera crews in their homes, she’s remained kind of a mystery. She keeps her personal life personal — or tries to at least. Yet she’s less press-shy than Kate Moss. And she comes across as so modest and normal that we actually believe her when she says her salary isn’t important to her. (Then again, she doesn’t need to worry since those millions aren’t growing legs and walking away anytime soon.) Also, when she first watched American football, it really confused her, and well, we’ve watched American football several times and it still confuses us. In the issue of GQ hitting stands next week, she talks about her salary, Tom Brady, and (gasp) eating disorders. Some highlights:

She did not actually make $35 million last year as Forbes reported.

Do you think [salary]’s important to me? Look, this is my job. I take pictures. There is no big deal. I would like to know who this reporter is finding out all of these amounts. And I would like him to talk to my accountant and figure out where is the cash that’s missing. Because I haven’t seen it.

She’s not a “man eater.”

I’ve always been in serious relationships. I meet someone and date him for a long period. I don’t sit there thinking, like, “I wonder if I can seduce that guy.” I have other things in my mind.

In 2005 she told the Boston Herald she thought Tom Brady was “cute” to avoid talking about him.

Look, I’m Brazilian. I had never seen football before. I’m freezing, and all I’m thinking is, When can I go back to New York City? I didn’t understand why they were all hitting each other. Now I do, but I didn’t. I just wanted to get out of there, so I’m just gonna say what you say to get out of a conversation. If he had been any other guy, I would have said the same thing. We met through a friend who knew us both for a long time. Believe me, I didn’t even remember [the picture of Brady]. Our friend knew that we would like each other. And we did. So I guess he was right.

She’s not afraid to tell the GQ reporter his questions are stupid.

What you are to Vogue, Brady is to GQ, in a way. He’s a regular in this magazine. He’s also done some advertising work. My editor wondered if you’ve advised him at all in his modeling career.

Oh, my God. I want you to tell your editor that that’s a very stupid question. It’s private. And — nah.

She says she’s never come across anyone with an eating disorder:

I don’t think it’s something that people go around talking about. I do think what saved me is that I’ve been very athletic since I was very young. I think your body has muscle memory.

FCUK S/S08

2008
Remember the FCUK dress post I did before last Christmas? Alas, I didn’t end up getting any of those dresses, but I’ve continued to stalk FCUK clothes, especially the dresses online. For S/S08, FCUK had less shift dresses and more 20′s and high-waisted style dresses, but I still found plenty to like.

The dress that I’ve been ogling since the start of the season is the Ray dress. I love that even though it’s covered with beads, it’s not too sparkly and I love the combination of pale colours in horizontal stripes. I don’t have an event in mind to wear it to, which is why I can’t quite justify paying full price (120 pounds) for it. But if it goes on close out, should I get it? Or is it too disco-y?

I’m a fan of t-shirt dresses so I briefly considered this dress, but the ruffles were too small for my taste and the edges had that cheap-looking ripped effect.

Like I said, I love t-shirt dresses. The weird purple and green beaded pattern made me hesitent at first (-the dress is named Alien dress,) but I think it’s growing on me. It looks so easy to wear and it’s colourful without being too multi-coloured.

Then there is this tank dress, which is similar but less weird looking than the Alien Dress. It’s sold out online though, so I assume it’s sold out in stores too. I actually like the horizontal patterned stripes more but the t-shirt style is so much easier to wear.

A cute shift dress with a classic design.

This dress makes me think of fancy lunches. That’s it. Since I have no fancy lunches to go to, perhaps it’s not quite useful for me. But it’s so pretty!

I thought this dress looked frumpy on the French Connection website, but I love it on the model. It’s such a cute, fashionable twist to the polo shirt dress. The skirt bit is high-waisted, which is supposed to make one’s legs look longer. Plus a daytime dress would be so much more useful to me than a going out dress. I didn’t see it at my local store but hopefully I’ll see it at the Oxford Circus store. Isn’t it cute?

I touched this top at a store and the quality is great! You can wear it as a loose top, or as I saw it on display, tucked into a high-waisted skirt, which is oh-so-fashionable these days. It’s so versatile, but I imagine the reason why there are still so many left in stores is that it costs 50 pounds!

I’ve been eyeing this Veronica top ever since the start of the season. I’m not one for blouses but the bow is just right and the slightly puffy sleeves are cute. I’ll definitely be looking out for this.

I didn’t think much of this top until I saw it (in another colour with yellow spots) on a close outsgirl and it looked great on her. The design is a bit too interesting for me and it looks more like fall clothes than summer clothes but maybe I should just try it on first.

Now that the close outs are about to start soon (-still waiting!), I’m trying to narrow down the list of items to look out for in the close out becuase obviously I can’t buy everything. Which few items do you think I should pick?
