The Unknown Supermodel
Posted by Mr. Practical on March 7, 2008
Like any (straight) guy, I have a strong appreciation of uber-hot celebrity chicks. I tend to like the supermodel type—tall, long-legged, beautiful face—more than any other, and I’ve certainly had crushes on quite a few. From childhood to now, I’ve adored such models as Christie Brinkley, Paulina Porizkova, Linda Evangelista, Nadja Auermann, Adriana Sklenarikova, Rebecca Romijn, and Adriana Lima.
One model never quite made that list, and I think I just figured out why. Her name is Daniela Pestova. Sound familiar? No? Well, you may be surprised to learn that not only is she a top Victoria’s Secret Model, but also a regular on Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue and on catwalks on, well, wherever the hell they have fashion shows.
I’d seen her before and definitely noticed her beauty, but for whatever reason she never really registered with me. Recently, for whatever reason, I googled her and looked at her pictures and figured something out:
She’s perfect.
She’s too perfect, if that is possible. Every supermodel I have ever seen has some defining characteristic that is either unusual or perhaps even a “flaw”. Cindy Crawford’s mole is unusual. Evangelista’s knobby knees are a flaw (she’s even admitted she hates them). Any and every supermodel I’ve ever seen has one or many defining characteristics.
But not Daniela. She is, to my eyes, absolutely perfect. She looks to me like what God decided was going to be a woman, and the rest of women could genetically diversify from that.
Anyway, that is my excuse for slighting her all these years (she is 37 now and nearing the end of her career), but I am more than happy to make up for it by making her my first ever “Mr. Practical’s Babe of The Day”.
While she looks stunning (as usual) in this picture, take a moment and do a search for her using Google images and see all the photos of her you can. You will be amazed.
