    Incredible hide show

    Adriana Lima is one of the most stunning models ever to hit the runway. She was born in Brazil and was discovered at the age of 13. She has numerous big-time contracts, but always looks back to where she came from and helps those in need. She also has some of the best morals out of most famous people. She will continue to be a great sucess and I only wish that she would appear on tv more becasue she is one of the most attractive woman to live. Whoever she is dating has to be the luckiest man, and that would be Marko Jaric of the NBA.

    Ay meu Deus (Potuguese for oh my God), i love Adriana Lima, i think she is one of the most breathtaking women i have ever seen and i have been around the world!!! I flat out love her!!! hide show

    Breathtaking, breathtaking breathtaking,, I just wish that she was someone i knew, because after reviewing her biography and works, she seems like a person that is really sincere. Her works at a orphanage , in Salvador Bahia, Brasil, is important to me because i too was an orphan. She also buys clothes for under-priviledged kids in her hometown who cant afford it. Brasilian economy doesnt really have a middle class its rich or poor, for the most part, unlike the great United States where we have a vastly large middle class. Its always good to see People who made it, give back and actually not forget there roots. whoever gets her is one of the luckiest men in the world.

    A breath of fresh air hide show

    Most models are famous for their partying, drug use and social life rather than their modeling. Adriana Lima breaks free from that stereotype, being famous for her appearance and her morals. I am happy to say that I look up to her. Not just because she is drop-dead gorgeous, but because she is different. She is happy in her own skin, she doesn't starve herself yet manages to keep a great figure. She isn't stuck up, and (from what I know, because I obviously have never met her) is pretty down to earth.
    If only there were more models like Adriana.

    Top Model! hide show

    Adriana is one of thee top models to date - both past and present. She has a very natural beauty, which isn’t rare amongst models… but Adriana has something very special about her which makes her unique in the modelling world.
    Adriana has achieved many things in her life and is sill at a very young age. She is also widely known and popular outside of the modeling/fashion world, which is managed by every model.

    I cant really call this a review , its more like a love letter, but i guess the fact that i wrote this speaks of the amzing talent and the spellbinding beauty that Adriana Lima has....I love you Miss Lima. hide show

    I don’t think any words could ever do justice to her beauty and charm and i have to say that i was absolutely bowled over by her eyes.... I go weak in my knees even if its just a picture of her that I see , so i cant really imagine how I’d feel if i see her in person...i wish i could see meet her and talk to her and get to know her , though i guess she is out of my reach..... I don’t think i need to write anything more ....I think she is really pretty and she has an absolutely fabulous body and gorgeous eyes ... More than that i think she is really talented and i feel that she is an amazing person too even though I’ve never met her. I’ve only seen pictures of her and of course I’ve seen her on FTV, and I have to admit it….she is the only woman I fell in love with just by seeing her pictures. I know I’m a nobody and my opinion about her may not count, but I guess there are several nobodies out there who feel the same way. She is a talented model and it is her attitude and the beauty that radiates from within her that makes her so special….
