Gisele

"There's a small tattoo of a star inside her left wrist. 'My grandmother told me and my sisters that everyone has a special star. I looked at my star every night before bed, just like brushing my teeth. When I came to New York and I opened the window of the thirty-fifth-floor apartment, there's light pollution and fog, and I couldn't see my star. So I drew it on my wrist with a pen, but it kept washing away. Then I went to a tattoo parlor on Second Avenue and had it done. It was something I had been missing, and now, no matter where I went, it came with me.' She consciously created the Gisele persona as she started to become a star herself."
-Vogue April 2010, The Shape Issue

[...I'm thinking about getting a tat except I want it to have some type of symbolism like this. What about the phrase, "SET YOUR SOUL FREE"? It's def one of my favs and if I got it on my wrist it could remind me to always be true to myself and do what will make me happy. Aaaand I love that it isn't too common/generic. ]

"Gisele is a fantastic reminder to the fashion world that athleticism and curves are always in style, and that the best models stand as symbols of health and a love of life."
-Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue

“I think it's better when you're natural, when you just do whatever you want, instead of doing classes where I see all these other people holding back because they've been trained with certain skills or techniques. I'm like, whatever.”
-Gisele Bündchen


i love Gisele's vibes.

Linds

“Life is full of risks anyway, why not take them?”

-Lindsay Lohan

Okay, Lindsay is so gorgeous...

I feel like the second image is so powerful in that it portrays the negative effect that the media has on not only Lindsay and other celebrity lives but on the lives of people feeding into it. I'll admit I love celeb gossip but I do sometimes feel guilty because there is no real benefit of knowing whose dating who and whose eating where because the reality is-these people don't directly affect me and my life unless I let them.

Yes, Lindsay Lohan has issues. That's a given but so does everyone, they just aren't caught on camera and gossiped about worldwide. Everyone needs to cut her and all the other celebs a break with all the discrimination. Send them positive vibes, not negative ones!

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken more than once and its harder every time.You'll fight with your best friend and blame a new love for things an old one did and you'll cry because time is passing so fast. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. You just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend mad or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back."
