Meet Heide Lindgren . I’ve never heard of her before, but according to my sources, she’s from Florida and got voted one of the “top new faces to watch” by French Vogue . Although after this photoshoot, I’d say it’s more like one of the top new bodies. Anyway, I’m not sure whose bright idea it was to get her wearing lingerie on a yacht instead of a bikini, but I approve. And hey, I guess it’s no weirder than asking her to go motorboating in my bedroom. Which I plan on doing as soon as I find Heide on Twitter. » view all 11 photos
By all accounts, Dominican beauty Rose Cordero is one of the brightest rising stars in fashion right now. She’s also just weeks away from becoming a mommy. And 19. She made the announcement today by posting the photo above on Facebook. Based on recent fashion photos alone, though, you wouldn’t know Rose is with child. Dominican Republic-born Cordero most recently appeared in a sexy shoot for Marie Claire Italy’s October issue posing in several belly-baring looks. On online threads where the news spread, fashion fans have compared Cordero to fellow model Jourdan Dunn, another rising black model who got pregnant at age 19. One difference, some commentators have noted, is that Dunn’s profile was already quite high when she had her baby — she even made a memorable runway appearance while seven months pregnant at Jean Paul Gaultier in 2009. Cordero’s biggest achievement to date has been becoming the first solo black model to grace the cover of French Vogue since 2002. We know that as a working model, Rose can certainly afford to provide for her child. But still, don’t you think 19 is a little young? Source
