Candice Swanepoel

shes a stunning lady and i love her accent.
to those who asked, yeah, she is trained in ballet. you can really tell when you watch her workout videos the way she holds herself and always points her feet.

going to spam you all with some more Candice stuff now. I'm sure everyone remembers these photos when she first appeared 'shockingly thin'. I found a video (00.27 for the legs OMG) but also watch til the end for how awkwardly/obviously she avoids talking about her diet AND exercise routine. Well she finally brings up boxing when asked about her diet... Sorry sweetie but we know there's more to it than body scrubs and 'a few days off to enjoy the sun' haha

:luv:

Those were such awkward evasions. She kept looking left and then down and laughing/smiling on the awkward questions... Classic subconscious evasion techniques lol
 
I was thinking the same thing! She has really lovely, high insteps, and cocks her foot out so she rests on the big toe with one foot a lot when she stands (a sort of unnatural way to stand, and a tendency of ballet dancers, to train against sickling, where the baby toe rests more on the ground). Also, her knees are slightly hyper-extended. I would definitely think she's had some training, if not, lucky girl!

She has said she has done ballet a lot when she was younger. Check out some videos of the latest VS fashion show promos. She gets to open in the ballerina segment. Ques a big plug about her ballet background.
 
anyone else notice how they seem to pad her out in VS campaign/catalogue shots? They airbrush all the models so horrendously, I think more often than not they just make them look worse :rolleyes:
 
Yeah, I think too she looks very bitchy and she's not probably very good person but she's so fuckin gorgeous. I adore her :luv:

This is one of the extremely rare times when a bandage dress doesn't look horrible. I like how it's cut in the back. Sexy.
 
It's so funny how they stand on their tip-toes in bare feet so their legs look as if they're wearing heels. It doesn't look that weird, but if you really think about it, that's pretty contrived haha

LOL, I was thinking the exact same thing! I guess they have to give us the illusion that their legs are longer than they are :grin:

And yes, I agree that Candace's body is one of the few that look really good in a bandage dress! I'd say this kind of cut truly suits only thin pears and hourglasses!
 
That's really odd. I only say that because she looked super skinny (even next to Miranda Kerr) in her most recent photos.
 
In those pics she doesn't look skinny to me :meh:

Really?
I think she looks pretty nice even with all the layering and lack of makeup and weather-confused outfit
Aaah but I'm sure the she wasn't working her best angles for the paparazzi, lol
Could have also been a bloated day for her. Just spitballing here

I agree!
 
Wow, I did not expect that.
In the candids it could also be just the ankle boots that make her legs look thicker, but the magazine cover doesnt even look like her body-wise.

I´m quite familiar with photoshop from my job, and to me it looks like they tried to shop her thigh gap away (if she still has any), but clearly something about her legs changed.
The roundness of her hips doesn´t look good either.

I hope she´s back in her old shape soon - the way she looks now is just plain and nothing special.
 
Honestly, GQ's a mens magazine & we know how those blokes like their women curvy (the right kind).
I bet they just made her stand with her knees close together or overlapping so that it would give her a curvier shape.
And then of course, there's photoshop.
