Hailing
from Perth, Australia, Jessica Gomes is quickly becoming one of
modeling’s biggest international faces. Working extensively in Australia
and Asia, Gomes has strong followings in Korea, Australia, North
America and in the East Coast hip hop community. Gomes has appeared in
the 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 editions of the Swimsuit Issue
of the American Publication Sports Illustrated and will be in the
magazine again in 2014. In 2008, Gomes had surpassed all models of Asian
heritage appearing in the Swimsuit Issue.
In March 2013, Gomes was announced as the fashion ambassador for Australian retail giant David Jones Limited, replacing Miranda Kerr. In July 2013, she debuted for Jones on the runway.
Gomes has also been a spokesperson for
the Korean conglomerates LG Electronics and Hyundai. Gomes also serves
as the face of the Estee Lauder/Sean John fragrance “Unforgivable”. She
has been revealed as the voice of Rick Ross’ label Maybach Music Group
and was recently featured in a Beats by Dre commercial directed by Jonas
Akerlund.
Gomes has enjoyed much success through South Korean advertising campaigns. In 2007 she appeared in advertisements for Hyundai Sonata.
The following year, Jessica appeared in an advertisement for LG Cyon
Bikini Phone, in which she promoted the split screen cellphone wearing a
two-piece bikini, under the tagline “Touch the Wonder.” This ad
campaign is credited as having pushed Gomes to stardom in South Korea.
Her popularity grew, and by 2013 between her spokesmanships and Korean
television show appearances, she had reached celebrity status. An early
LG ad campaign is considered her breakout performance.
Gomes has appeared on the covers of Australian Vogue, Madison, as well as featured in Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Elle, In Style, Teen Vogue, Glamour, American Glamour and the coveted Victoria’s Secret catalogue, has modeled for DKNY Jeans, Garnier, Levi’s, Motorola, Urban Outfitters and Victoria’s Secret.
She was also the Maxim Cover girl for November 2011. She has been
featured in ads for Jay-Z’s Rocawear. In 2009, she was in a Cass Beer ad
campaign with Lee Min Ho.
Gomes’ career started when her mother
sent her to modelling classes at Linda-Ann Model Academy in Perth at the
age of 13 where a modeling contest led to the start of her career. In
2004, she signed with an international modeling agency after moving to
New York City. She has done extensive work in most of Asia’s major
markets — including Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai.
Before Gomes began modeling in Midland, she appeared as an extra at age
10 on the Australian miniseries Bush Patrol.
While living in New York City, Gomes
studied at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting. In 2009, her reality
TV-show My Name Is Jessica Gomes was launched on the English language
Korean television network On Style owned by On-Media. In the shows
second season it chronicled her time in New York. Gomes is also a
choreographer and made her dancing debut in the Korean version of
Dancing with the Stars on June 10, 2011.
Lindsey Vonn is leaving little to the imagination in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition. Joining the long list of sexy women
posing for the magazine's highly-anticipated issue, the professional
skier shows off all her curves in the spread, wearing nothing but some
blue and black body paint that acts as a pseudo-monokini. Vonn,
31, poses by the beach in one of the photos and then is submerged in the
ocean for another, letting her blonde locks flow and giving a sultry
stare to the camera.
Tiger Woods' ex took to Twitter to share her excitement over the spread, writing, "So excited to be a part of this @SI_Swimsuit issue! #strongisbeautiful." Vonn joins other big names like Gigi Hadid, Nina Agdal, Chrissy Teigen, Irina Shayk within this year's issue. Meanwhile, Ronda Rousey, Hailey Clauson and Ashley Graham are featured as the three cover girls. "It's a nod to female empowerment," a source told E! News of the 2016 edition. Graham also told us of the issue,
"I've got plenty of friends [of all sizes] and different shapes and
everything. And I don't want any of them to feel like they aren't 'real
women.'"
She's having a fabulous family holiday on a remote island. And
on Friday, supermodel Gisele Bundchen was spotted on the beach in a
teeny-weeny Lenny Niemeyer bikini with her son Benjamin, aged four, and
her darling 15-month-old daughter Vivian. The
33-year-old is holidaying with her New England Patriots quarterback
husband Tom Brady and their children on the tropical island of Fernando
de Noronha, 200 miles from the coast of her native Brazil.
Beach babe: Gisele Bundchen showed off her
amazing body as she spent time with her family on the beach on the
tropical island of Fernando de Noronha last week
Rear view: The 33-year-old displayed her shapely derriere in a very high-cut Lenny Niemeyer bikini
In splashing form: There isn't an ounce of extra flesh on the former Victoria's Secret Angel
The lithe 5ft 11in blonde showed off
her amazing long legs and toned and tanned tummy in a red and white two
piece that had a cute frill around the bikini bottoms encircling her her
slender hips. High-cut, it also displayed the cheeks of her shapely derriere. The former Victoria's Secret Angel dressed little Vivian in a swimsuit and hat that matched the material of her get up.
Water babies: The Brazilian supermodel played in the shallow surf with her son Benjamin, four, and 15-month-old daughter Vivian
Shady lady: The concerned mother gave Benjamin her sunglasses to wear
So grown up: The lad wore black and white striped swimming shorts as he walked along the beach, hand in hand with his mother
Mummy's girl: Gisele and baby Vivian were the perfect pair in matching Lenny Niemeyer beachwear
Sharing her favours: The blonde made sure to spread the love around both her children
Gisele, who married husband
Tom in Santa Monica, California in 2009, played in the shallow surf with
their two cuties and later gave Benjamin a piggy back ride. The little lad sported black and white striped swimming shorts. The willowy blonde was evidently concerned about her little boy's eyes as she handed him her sunglasses to wear.
Fetch and carry: Like any other mum, Gisele took buckets to the beach to keep the kids occupied
She needs a hand: The blonde helped her little lookalike girl stand up in the water
In
her revealing outfit, it was clear to see there wasn't a spare ounce of
flesh on her slender frame as Gisele ran along the beach like an
elegant gazelle. She left her children in the care of friends as she took time to splash and swim in the crystal clear blue water. On
Saturday Gisele, who is the goodwill ambassador for the United Nations
Environment Programme, posted an instagram of herself on the beach
watching a tiny, just-hatched turtle make its way to the sea.
Me time: Giselle left her children with friends to enjoy some quality time in the sea
On a wave: She splashed in the pristine waters around the island, 200 miles off the coast of her native Brazil
She captioned it: 'Thank you Tamar
project for taking such good care of the turtles. Grateful for
experiencing this beautiful moment! #turtlesbirth #sosturtle' The Tamar Project is a Brazilian non-profit organization
owned by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation. It's main objective is to protect sea turtles from
extinction along the Brazilian coastline.
New life: On Saturday the goodwill ambassador of
the UN Environment Programme posted an Instagram snap of herself
watching a just-hatched turtle making its way to the sea, with the
caption, 'Grateful for experiencing this beautiful moment!'
For Editor, It's Been No Day At The Beach--it's Been 32 Years
February 01, 1996|By Richard Rothschild, Tribune Staff Writer.
She
is the woman behind the women, the guiding spirit who has helped create
perhaps the most popular--and at times controversial--magazine issue in
American publishing. For more than three decades, Jule
(pronounced Julie) Campbell has planned and directed Sports
Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue. She has managed its growth from a
four-page spread in 1965 to this year's 44-page layout that is currently
on newsstands. She has watched it mushroom from a small wintertime
diversion to a colossus that is seen by an estimated 50 million readers
and has spun off videos and calenders.
From
Baja California to the Mediterranean, from Brazil to South Africa, the
SI swimsuit issue has matched beautiful women, stunning waterfronts and
cutting-edge swim wear--or over the edge, as some critics contend. But
after 32 years, Campbell is calling it a day. The former fashion writer
and reporter, who has been an SI editor since 1985, will be leaving the
magazine to write a book detailing her experiences with supermodels
such as Cheryl Tiegs, Christie Brinkley, Kathy Ireland and Elle
Macpherson. "With the swimsuit issue, I felt like I have a
daughter (Campbell and her husband, Ron, have one son), and now the
daughter is 32 years old; she has a life of her own, and I have I life
of my own," said Campbell during a phone interview from Arizona, where
she was accompanying some of her models for pre-Super Bowl festivities. "Sports
Illustrated wanted me to do a book some years ago, but for the past
four or five years, when I tried to think about the book, I realized I
couldn't get it done if I was still working full-time. "I want it to be a humorous book, not kiss and tell. I'm not going to hurt anyone.I want it to be a good beach-reader." Beach
is not a word that describes Campbell's early years. Although born in
New York, the woman who would publicize some of the globe's most
glorious aquatic settings was raised in the beach-challenged Midwest.
She grew up in Chicago, Grosse Pointe, Mich., and Minneapolis, graduated
from Stephens College in Columbia, Mo., and attended the University of
Missouri, studying journalism. After working as the accessories
editor at Glamour magazine she joined Sports Illustrated in 1960 as a
fashion writer-reporter. In its first decade, SI viewed itself as a
publication for sports lifestyle as well as sports competition, and
Campbell worked on the annual ski wear edition. But in 1964, new
managing editor Andre Laguerre had an idea. In this age before the Super
Bowl, when both professional and college basketball were far off the
nation's sports radar screen, Laguerre wanted something to spice up the
dead period between the Jan. 1 football bowl games and the opening of
the baseball season in April. "Andre, whom I always regarded as a
French Renaissance man," Campbell said, "told me, `I'd like to put a
pretty girl on the cover at a resort and I'll send a writer to do an
adventure story.' " He called it the "Sunshine Issue." The resort
was the only one in then-pristine Baja California, the story was about
dove hunting and SI featured only California models, including the first
swimsuit issue cover girl, 17-year-old Sue Peterson. She ended up
marrying the writer of the dove story. (One year earlier, Babette Smith
appeared on the cover in a two-piece but there were no inside swimsuit
photos.)
"That
was the Twiggy era, and all the models in New York and Europe were
skinny, skinny, skinny," Campbell said. "So for the first 12 years of
the swimsuit issue I had to go to California where girls grew up in
sunshine, drank orange juice, rode mountain bikes and had that wonderful
healthy, all-American girl-next-door look." The fish-net issue And
then came the letters. Even though the swimsuits of the 1960s appear
almost Victorian by today's standards, the idea that a sports magazine
could print such "trash," such "pornography" riled many readers. Campbell
received letters asking why was she imitating Playboy and recommending
that she should go straight to a place even hotter than the resorts she
featured. One reader wrote to SI that he took one look at the
swimsuit issue and "tossed it into the fire where it deserves to be with
Satan and all his imps." In those early years, modeling agencies saw no advantage in having their clients appear in Sports Illustrated. "I
knew one agency in New York, and I asked for Lauren Hutton," Campbell
recalled. "The agency told me: `What makes you think Lauren Hutton would
want to work for Sports Illustrated.' " One of the women who
helped turn critics around was SI's first supermodel, Cheryl Tiegs. She
began appearing in the swimsuit issue in the 1960s, but it was a photo
of her in the 1978 issue, wearing a fish-net swimsuit in Brazil, that
registered on the Richter scale. Within a week after SI ran the
photo, which Campbell considered "an afterthought," the magazine
received thousands of letters, most of them complimentary. "Twelve years later I got a call from a man," Campbell said. "He was still looking for that fish-net suit."
By
the 1980s, modeling agencies would fall over themselves recommending
clients for Sports Illustrated. Eileen Ford, president of Ford Models
once said: "Everybody is praying Jule will take her. Praying."
Instead
of appearing in one or two issues and then fading from sight, many SI
models were becoming as common on the pages as Muhammad Ali and later
Michael Jordan. Campbell has fond memories: Christie Brinkley:
"Christie had never modeled before. I saw her passing through the Los
Angeles airport; she weighed 150 pounds and with the hat she was wearing
she looked like Shirley Temple. I knew as soon as I saw her face that
we could use her." Kathy Ireland: "She was an unknown, very quiet
and very beautiful, but she doesn't push herself. Kathy waits for you to
discover her. She gets more mail than any model we've ever
photographed." Elle Macpherson: "Elle didn't even have pictures in
her portfolio when I first met her. It took her a while to catch on.
She didn't move well in front of the camera. I had to work with her to
be herself. Now she's probably the most confident model around." Sports
Illustrated says the typical issue sells 3 million copies; the swimsuit
issue sells 5 million, including 2 million off the newsstands. It is
estimated that 4 million women read SI each week, but 16 million see the
swimsuit issue. "I think it's been accepted," Campbell said. "There are no more letters, and sometimes I wonder what I've done wrong." Swimsuit issue for women? Today
the main dissent comes from SI's growing number of women readers who
argue that the magazine should also publish an issue spotlighting
handsome male models. Campbell says her final assignment to South
Africa for the current issue is her favorite. For years the nation's
beauty had drawn her interest, but until apartheid was dismantled it was
off limits. Once Nelson Mandela was elected president, Campbell and her
staff moved quickly. "If you're a beach person those beaches (in
South Africa) are the most beautiful beaches you've ever seen," she
said. "The dunes are like ice cream cones and there are wonderful sand
ripples." The end of apartheid motivated SI to put two models on
its cover, one white and one black, the first black woman to appear on
the swimsuit cover. "It's a start," Campbell said. "It symbolizes
we can get along and, hopefully, it will help bring peace sometime to
South Africa."
SI Swimsuit legend Christie Brinkley steps back into her bikini 43 years
later to prove to everyone that age is but a number: "Don't let that
number define you. You define that number."

So that's where she gets her good looks from! Audrina Patridge's mother is her doppelganger in skimpy swimsuit
Audrina Patridge clearly gets her good looks from her mother, according to these photographs. The
reality TV star strolled with her mother Lynn on a beach in Santa
Monica, California, where they both showed off their tanned and toned
figures in tiny swimsuits. It
was no ordinary mother and daughter outing though, as the pair were
filming Audrina’s self-titled new show, which is set to premiere on VH1
in the U.S. on May 17.
Doppelganger: Audrina
Patridge and her mother Lynn could almost be sisters as they stroll
along a beach in Santa Monica in tiny swimsuits
The show is described as: ‘The story
of a young woman with dreams, goals and ambitions all put through the
no-BS filter of her family.' And
the 25-year-old former star of The Hills was spicing up one episode by
strolling along the shoreline with her mother in a tiny orange bikini.
Lynn might be almost twice her daughter’s age but is in great shape with a flawless swimsuit figure and perfect tan. She
gained notoriety last year after being filmed on a viral video letting
off steam about her daughter being eliminated from Dancing With The
Stars.
Like mother like
daughter: The pair brought a picnic basket down to the beach for lunch
while they were filming the reality TV show
The drunken rant showed her smoking a
cigarette outside a Los Angeles restaurant, saying: ‘Last night [on the
show] she kicked Butt.’ She
went on to say that Patridge is going to ‘ rise’ as she is a
‘Polish, Catholic, On full on Italian’ and ‘not only that, she was
raised right. And I don’t give a crap. It’s all American'. In Patridge’s new show, inspired by Keeping Up With The Kardashians, her mother is described as ‘refreshingly unfiltered’ and is the ‘Momma Bear’ of the family. Patridge's
24-year-old sister Casey Loza is the ‘black sheep’ of the clan. Marky
Patridge, her 22-year-old brother, is mainly interested in dirt biking,
the beach, partying and girls. Samantha is the baby of the family, and at 16 is the last child to still live at home and go to school.
Timeless
beauty: Lynn might be twice her daughter's age but that hasn't seemed to
hinder her perfect swimsuit figure and flawless tan
Their father Mark is the
‘patriarchal backbone of the family’ and is the CEO of the successful
family business, Patridge Motors, which producers engine parts. The show will follow Patridge as she juggles fame with her normal family life. She recently said of her new project: ‘Somewhere between fame and family there is a place for me.’
Outspoken: Lynn gained notoriety last year after making a viral video of
her anger about her daughter being eliminated from Dancing With The
Stars..

Explosions Rock Tripoli Amid Reports of Rebel Advances in Capital
Four strong explosions rocked Tripoli early Sunday amid reports that rebels had cut off crucial supply lines to the capital as clashes raged between forces loyal to Col. Muammar Qaddafi and fighters challenging his long rule. The blasts were heard shortly after 4:00am local time in the heart of the city as NATO warplanes flew overhead, an AFP journalist said. The targets were not immediately identifiable. The continued fighting followed reports Saturday that rebels had advanced on the capital, with residents telling various news media organizations that they had sighted the fighters in their neighborhoods. "Around 11:00pm [Saturday], we heard gunfire around the area. We saw snipers on top of buildings. Yes, rebel fighters are on the streets," Tripoli resident, Omar, told Qatar broadcaster Al Jazeera. Other residents told Sky News that anti-Qaddafi protesters, urged by text messages asking them to join the revolution, had gathered on the streets. "We can hear shooting in different places," said one. "Most of the regions of the city have gone out, mostly young people.... it's the uprising... They went out after breaking the [Ramadan] fast." An opposition activist in Tripoli said an unknown number of insurgents had been killed in the suburb of Qadah and elsewhere, news agency Reuters reported. He said rebels had surrounded a military airbase called Mitiga in the Tajourah district. Another activist, Bashir Sewehli, told Al Jazeera that rebels had also taken other areas in Tripoli and were awaiting reinforcements. "The news has not been coming through because of the fighting, but we will know more in the next coming hours. The rebel fighters that I have spoken to said they will not go home until this is over," Sewehli said. The Libyan government denied that the airbase was at risk of falling into rebel hands and maintained that the capital was safe and stable. "The situation is under control," government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said, adding that pro-regime volunteers had repelled insurgent attacks in several neighborhoods. Ibrahim dismissed mounting speculation that the regime was on the brink of collapse, but more gunfire was heard after he spoke on television Saturday, AFP reported. Meanwhile, for the first time in weeks, Qaddafi spoke to Libyans in an audio address broadcast on state television in the early hours of Sunday. "I can't understand how Libya is now in this state ... you need to find the people behind this state ... behind this tragedy," the strongman said. The Libyan leader urged his supporters to "march by the millions" and end the rebellion. "We have to put an end to this masquerade. You must march by the millions to free the destroyed towns," he said. Qaddafi said he expected the opposition to claim that his message was prerecorded, adding, "It's Sunday, the 21st of August. Time is 1:37[am] Libya time." Shortly before dawn, state television showed images of Qaddafi's son, Saif al Islam, addressing a room of supporters, Reuters reported. "The revolt in Libya will not succeed. You will never see us as Libyans surrender and raise the white flag: that is impossible. This is our country and we will never leave it."
