What in the world could push a headline about the so-hot and so-interesting Barack Obama to the very bottom of the cover of GQ? A bevy of Victoria Secret models in underwear, of course.

The September issue of GQ is expected to be one of their biggest ever, with Heidi Klum and her sexy lady friends like Adriana Lima, Marisa Miller, Karolina Kurkova, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr, Izabel Goulart, Selita Ebanks, Isabelli Fontana, Candice Swanepole, Julia Stegner, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley gracing the (fold out) cover and several pages inside.

The spread was photographed by Gavin Bond and features a literally wild selection of outfits: zebra stripes, leopard spots, scales, feathers, and oh yeah, tons of skin.

We don't have much to add. This is more of a visual story, you know?

Just about every supermodel working today hails from Brazil in particular. Think about it – Gisele Bunchen, Adriana Lima, Ana Beatriz Barros, Fernanda Motta, Raica Oliveria, Jeisa Chiminazzo, Isabeli Fontana, Alessandra Ambrosio, Raquel Zimmerman, Aline Nakashima. Even if you don't recognize the name, Google it and you'll certainly know the face.

It must be something in the water that gives them makes them so desirable -- such gorgeous faces, lush hair, itty bitty waists, round booties and big busts. Or maybe it's just South America's big "what up" to plastic surgery.

No matter. The point is they are all stunning. Even if you don't look like you hail from the exotic banks of Rio de Janeiro, you can still capture the same exotic lifestyle as all of these lovely ladies.

Over the last decade that we've been wearing makeup (yeah we had one of those dad's that forbid it until we were 16... laaaaame), we have probably tested every single mascara available at our local drugstore – no kidding. We had a great time testing over the years, particularly during a brief period of CVS employment that was strictly for the cosmetic discount. It was basically a crazed 2 month makeup rampage... ahhh the memories.

So after all of this time, we are pleased to share our findings with you.

Many of us women out there suffer during the summer because we don't have stems like a supermodel. Unfortunately, you can't think your legs long but you can create the illusion that they're a mile long with the right clothes. So let's put an end to your suffering and take a look at some helpful hints to getting Rockette worthy gams.

Forbes has just released their annual list of top-earning supermodels in the world. In 2008 a few beauties moved up a few places on the list, while some were knocked off completely. Keep reading to see who made it, and who didn't.

Super Bowl and supermodels? That's like the whole 'two greats tastes that go great together' thing. Only good can come from something so special. That's a given, right?

Aside from Madonna hawking shampoo and some athletes talking about armor there was only one fashion-ish ad during the game (assuming you don't count Gisele downing bowls of wine up in the owner's box). It is the Super Bowl after all, and the target isn't style, it's beer and GoDaddy.

The one ad that was the exception to the rule was for Victoria's Secret and featured the lovely Angel Adriana Lima in a saucy little black lingerie number. There were words, something about fumbles and Valentine's Day, and Brenda Lee singing to set the mood. It was a special little moment tucked between sacks and touchdowns.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but it's pretty obvious she wanted me. You be the judge:

What better way to start the Hump Day than with a full-spread post about Brazilian supermodels?

You can thank me later, but let's not miss the real point. Forbes magazine recently ranked the top-earning models in the world and AOL Latin points out that three of the Top Five were Brazilian women. It's hardly surprising, coming from a country that turns out exotic, toned, golden-skinned, vibrant and curvaceous women. Who are they who made the Top Five? Gisele Bündchen, who made "$33 million this year. According to Forbes, her fortune is close to $200 million," Adriana Lima, the "fourth highest paid model in the world, with an estimated income of $6 million," and Alessandra Ambrosio, "a Victoria's Secret model. (Remember that lingerie made entirely with candy?) She follows Lima in the Forbes' list, ranking fifth and earning $6 million last year."

But they're not all. There are quite a few Brazilian models samba-ing down the runways. Aol

• Isabeli Fontana
• Raica Oliveira
• Jeisa Chiminazzo
• Ana Claudia Michels
• Ana Beatrix Barros
• Fernanda Tavares
• Fernanda Motta
• Ana Paula Araujo
• Aline Nakashima

Three of Victoria's Secret's most popular models Gisele Bundchen, Karolina Kurkova, and Adriana Lima are often photographed in wings for the lingerie catalogs and shows. Now the Victoria's Secret angels are donating three custom sets of wings to benefit Free Arts NYC. The one-of-a-kind wings were created by famous "wingman" Martin Izquierdo and will be auctioned off on eBay through December 10. Each model's wings are different: Karolina's wings are ostrich feathers, French lace and gilded netting, Adriana's are soft pink ostrich feathers, Swarovksi crystals and handmade French lace, and Gisele's are tiny peacock blue fairy wings with crystals. Each pair of wings have an opening bid of $250. Beautiful and a whole lot cheaper than the $6.5 million Fantasy Bra.
