Adriana Lima

    For most men, resisting a long haired and gorgeous woman with a 'Perfect 10' figure is not just difficult but irresistible. Adriana Lima is not only famous as one of the most well known models for Victoria's Secrets, but she is also the spokesperson for Armani Jeans. It's a difficult choice to make whether we like to see her in sexy lingerie or a perfect pair of well fitting jeans sitting smugly on a perfect pair of long legs with a great butt.

    Aside from being the spokesperson for Victoria's Secret, Guess?, Armani Jeans and XOXO, Adriana Lima is a much sought after model on the catwalk, internationally. Whatever spare time Adriana gets, she spends helping the orphans in Brazil (a cause close to her heart) and acting on TV or movies.

    "Adriana Lima" may have become a supermodel by chance, but its no secret that she has been strutting her stuff for fashion designers and magazines, while being watched by millions not just in Paris, Milan and New York but across the world. She seems to have taken all the celebrity and fame in her stride.

    Born Adriana Francesca Lima in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil on 12th June 1981, this blue/gray-eyed brunette attributes her exotic and captivating looks to her Native-American, French, Portuguese, and Caribbean heritage.

    The Ford Supermodel of the World Contest (1996) is responsible for Adriana's climb from obscurity to glamour. She participated in this pageant at the age of 13, and came second. And, within three years, she was headed to New York, one of the mega fashion capitals of the world, where she was snapped by Elite Model Management. Soon, Adriana was everywhere from Vogue (Italy) to Marie Claire (Brazil) in 1997/98. She also walked the ramp for designers such as Cynthia Rowley, Vera Wang, Christian Lacroix, Girls Rule, Richard Tyler, Giorgio Armani, Fendi, Randolph Duke, Ralph Lauren, and Valentino, to name just a few.

    Adriana's first mega break came when she featured in a Vassarette billboard in Times Square, New York. In 2000, she became the next Guess? Girl and made successful forays in print. But, the most notable runway appearances made by Adriana was in the Victoria's Secret Summer 2000 swimwear catalogue which was shot in Cannes, and where she shared the spotlight with other supermodels such as Heidi Klum, and Laetitia Casta.

Wife Locked Up For 16 Years In A Cellar


    I read this very disturbing news about a Brazilian man in Rio de Janeiro who kept his wife locked up in a basement for not a day or two but for a good 16 years. The man is Joao Batista Groppo who lived in the same house above the cellar with another woman for all this while. Can you imagine that? This is horrible. 

    The man locked her in a 130 square feet cellar. When the cop saw Sebastiana Aparecida Groppo (64 years old) in the cellar she had no clothes but was wrapped in a blanket. She was lying nude on a concrete bed in a foul smelling cubicle with no ventilation or electricity. The condition of that cellar as per the details doesn't even seem fit for an animal, leave alone for a human being.

    Joao Batista Groppo who locked up his wife in a dirty cellar for sixteen years is arrested for false imprisonment

    The husband, Joao who is also 64 years old claims his wife is mentally ill and very aggressive. He and his companion locked Sebastiana twice for a total period of 16 years. The second time they locked her up was in   2003 when their son died in an accident. He said that locking her up was the only way to prevent her from wandering off or getting lost. The couple was married for over 40 years. He did change his statements. First he said he locked her up for 16 years but then changed it to 8 years.

    According to the cop who discovered the locked up woman, she does not seem aggressive but showed signs of mental problems probably due to her long duration of captivity. While Groppo and his companion were arrested, they could go to prison for eight years for this act.

    This is so sickening. How can people think of such ways of tormenting living beings? I mean how much hatred is there within that makes one do such things. Locking somebody you married in a cellar like some rubbish or old unwanted documents while you enjoy your life living happily in the same house with another woman. The people who think of such stuff are not mentally stable themselves I am sure.
