Lisalla Montenegro – Maybelline New York’s New Modeling Superstar

Posted on by ZARZAR MODELS Blogger

Go backstage with top model Lisalla Montenegro as she shoots her first campaign for Maybelline New York. The 21 year old Brazilian beauty signed with the cosmetics brand in April, joining fellow glamazon spokesmodels Christy Turlington, Erin Wasson, and Julia Stegner. Now here is your chance to meet her and see her in action!

Maybelline is a makeup brand sold worldwide and owned by L’Oréal based in Paris, France. Their motto is “Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline”.

The Maybelline Company was created by New York chemist T.L. Williams in 1915. Williams, then in his early 20s, noticed his younger sister applying a mixture of Vaseline and coal dust to her eyelashes to give them a darker, fuller look. He adapted it in his small laboratory and produced a product sold locally called Lash-Brow-Ine. The product was a local hit, but the awkward name held it back. His sister, who inspired the product, was named Maybel. So T.L. Williams renamed it Maybelline, a combination of Maybel and Vaseline. It is under this name that Maybelline has achieved its now legendary status in the field of cosmetics. In 1917 the company produced Maybelline Cake Mascara, “the first modern eye cosmetic for everyday use” and Ultra Lash in the 1960’s.

Maybelline received a boost when the company hired Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter as the company’s beauty fashion coordinator. Lynda Carter also appeared in several of its television and print advertisements. Christy Turlington, Josie Maran, Adriana Lima, Miranda Kerr, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Melina Kanakaredes, Zhang Ziyi, Siti Nurhaliza, Fasha Sandha, Sheetal Mallar, Julia Stegner, Jessica White, Erin Wasson, Kemp Muhl, Emily DiDonato, Kristin Davis, and now Brazilian beauty Lisalla Montenegro have all endorsed Maybelline products.

In 1991, the company adopted its current advertising slogan: “Maybe She’s Born With It. Maybe It’s Maybelline”. The company was acquired by L’Oréal in 1996. Acquiring Maybelline gave Paris based L’Oreal access to mass markets in cosmetics throughout the world.

Casting Lingerie Models For The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2010

Posted on by ZARZAR MODELS Blogger

It is not just the sexiest night on television for thousands of hopefuls, it is the modeling dream of a lifetime. But with only 33 spots and a minute to make an impression, competition and nerves run high. Get a casting director’s eye view of the 2010 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Victoria’s Secret was started in San Francisco, California, in 1977 by Stanford Graduate School of Business alumnus Roy Raymond, who felt embarrassed trying to purchase lingerie for his wife in a department store environment. He opened the first store at Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, and quickly followed it with a mail order catalog and three other stores.

The stores were meant to create a comfortable environment for men, with wood paneled walls, Victorian details and helpful sales staff. Instead of racks of bras and panties in every size, there were single styles, paired together and mounted on the wall in frames. Men could browse for styles for women and sales staff would help estimate the appropriate size, pulling from inventory in the back rooms. In 1982, after five years of operations, Roy Raymond sold the company to The Limited. Raymond’s next business venture ended in bankruptcy. Raymond committed suicide by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco in 1993.

The Limited kept the personalized image of Victoria’s Secret intact. Victoria’s Secret was rapidly expanded into the U.S. malls throughout the 1980s. The company was able to offer a widened range of products, such as shoes, evening wear, and perfumes, with its mail catalog issued eight times annually.

By the early 1990s, Victoria’s Secret had become the largest American lingerie retailer, topping one billion United States Dollars.

Beginning in 1995, Victoria’s Secret began holding the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which is broadcasted primetime on American television. The show is a lavish event with elaborate costumed lingerie, varying music, and set design according to the different themes running within the show. The show attracts hundreds of celebrities and entertainers, with special performers and/or acts every year.

The World’s Top Earning Models – No. 6 Natalia Vodianova $5.5 Million Per Year

Posted on by ZARZAR MODELS Blogger

The supermodel with the fastest rise to the top of the industry is indisputably Natalia Vodianova. She continues her blue chip legacy with past work for Vuitton as well as representing Chanel beauty, even as her Calvin Euphoria fragrance contract continues its run. She will always be most wanted.

The new hire of French lingerie company Etam still works for mother Russia through her charitable foundation.

Natalia Vodianova is one of the clearest examples of rags to riches: She was raised in an impoverished family in Russia before becoming an international model. In addition to her work for Calvin Klein fragrance, Guerlain and jeweler Jacob & Co., the 27 year old signed a three year contract with Etam. She is the brand’s ambassador and will also design a collection each season. She runs the Naked Heart Foundation, a charity that raises money to provide playgrounds in Russia.

Born in Gorky USSR (now Nizhny Novgorod, Russia), Natalia Vodianova grew up in a poor district of the city with her mother and two half sisters, one of whom has cerebral palsy. As a teenager, Vodianova helped her mother sell fruit on the street and later set up her own fruit stand with a friend to help her family out of poverty. Natalia Vodianova’s father walked out on the family when Natalia was a toddler, and she did not have any further contact with him until after she had become famous.


At the age of 15, Vodianova enrolled in a modeling academy and was told she would need to learn English to succeed, and mastered the language in three months. By the age of 17, Vodianova had moved to Paris in order to continue her modeling career.



Natalia Vodianova has achieved considerable success as a runway, editorial and advertising campaign model. To date, Vodianova has walked in more than 175 runway shows for U.S. and European based designers’ ready to wear and haute couture collections, has appeared in editorial spreads in fashion magazines worldwide and has completed advertising campaigns for Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, L’Oreal, David Yurman, Marc Jacobs, Pepe Jeans, Diane Von Furstenberg, Chanel, Guerlain, and many others.


Natalia Vodianova has appeared on the cover of British Vogue seven times; the first was the September 2003 issue. She made her first appearance on the cover of the U.S. Vogue in the September 2004 edition alongside eight other models, then appeared as the solo cover subject of the July 2007 edition of the magazine. During this time period, other covers of the American Vogue have all featured non-model celebrities with only two other exceptions: models Linda Evangelista and Liya Kebede.

The World’s Top Earning Models – No. 5 Alessandra Ambrosio $6 Million Per Year

Posted on by ZARZAR MODELS Blogger

Viva Alessandra Ambrosio! She is one of the few models left who knows how to use her Victoria’s Secret contract to platform herself as a multi-media star with magazine covers aplenty and gigs for Armani as well as her TV appearances to keep her market value crackling. This beautiful Brazilian girl knows how to manufacture serious cash from her superpower modeling contracts and modeling campaigns.

Another Brazilian model on the list, Alessandra Ambrosio first made her name as the spokesmodel for the Victoria’s Secret PINK line and is now one of the brand’s angels. Recently, Alessandra Ambrosio gave birth to her first child. Only three months later, she appeared on the catwalk for the Victoria’s Secret runway show. She is also on contract with European retail outlet C&A and Mexican department store Liverpool.

She is very conscious of her figure and works out with her Brazilian trainer doing the Brazilian Butt Lift, which is a mix of samba, capoeira, and aerobics.



When Alessandra Ambrosio first came to New York, Gisele Bundchen lent her apartment for two weeks and Adriana Lima helped her translate English.

She described her typical week as jetsetting from one country to another for photo shoots and in between she has some phone interviews. She still visits her family in Brazil regularly and calls Erechim, Brazil her favorite place in the world and having traveled the world has not yet convinced her otherwise.

Ambrosio’s best friend is fellow Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros.

On August 24, 2008, Alessandra Ambrosio and her fiancé, California businessman Jamie Mazur, had their first child, a daughter in Florianopolis, Brazil.

Alessandra is tied for 5th place with Victoria’s Secret Angel and supermodel Doutzen Kroes.

The return of lost contracts and the success of her Topshop line marked a successful year for Moss.

She’s the face of Versace, Longchamp, and David Yurman, among others. Her line for British retailer Topshop, which moved stateside earlier this year, continues to do well.

Kate Moss Biography:
