Marisa Miller Biography

Bio:

Born Marisa Bertetta in Santa Cruz, California, she was first "discovered" at age 16 walking through a San Francisco cafe by two Italian modeling agents. Marisa gained attention when she appeared in a 1997 issue of Perfect 10 magazine. Although she came in third behind Ashley Degenford and Monica Hansen in Perfect 10 magazine's first annual model search, she was repeatedly showcased in following issues, including the covers of the Winter 1998, Aug/Sept 1999, and Fall 2004 editions.

Atypically, Marisa was able to move from a start as a nude magazine model to high profile mainstream work after she was spotted by fashion photographer Mario Testino in Manhattan Beach, California in 2001. She soon worked with the likes of Victoria's Secret and appeared in the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue (2002–2007). In particular, she featured in the 2004 and 2005 editions' sections of body painting. Raphael Mazzucco's photograph of Marisa wearing a iPod bikini in the 2007 edition became one of the most famous photos ever published in that magazine. She's also appeared in other magazines such as Fitness, Shape, and Vogue, as well as working on campaigns for Nordstrom, J.Crew, and Tommy Hilfiger. In 2004, she served as a modeling judge in the short-lived reality television series Manhunt: The Search for America's Most Gorgeous Male Model. In the same year she also appeared in Puddle of Mudd's music video for "Spin You Around".

In 2007, Marisa shot her first television commercial for Victoria's Secret with fellow supermodel Heidi Klum, causing quite a stir unexpectedly drawing more attention than Klum, as well as appearing in a cameo on the HBO show Entourage.

Top Fashion Model Gabrielle Richens of UK

Name: Gabrielle Richens

Nickname: "The Pleasure Machine"

Favourite Cocktail: The Cosmopolitan: four parts cranberry juice, three parts Cointreau, two parts vodka, one part lime juice, with lots of ice and shake.

Favourite Quotes:

"Sex keeps me healthy and fit - after all it's the only exercise I get!"

"I'll give anything a go if I'm asked nicely"

"G-Strings are the best piece of lingerie ever invented"

"I love nudity. I'm always nude. When I was a little girl my mother would always have to dress me because I was quite good at taking my clothes off"

"I think that word fellatio, ha ha - we all thought it was highly gross when we read what it was. I'm never doing that, haha...But things change!"

Gabrielle left school at the age of 14 to take up a job in Spain which started her modeling career. Her pencil-thin figure as a schoolgirl made her ideal for strutting her stuff as a high-class fashion model.

She was immediately snapped up for Virgin Atlantic's teasing, and the hit commercial has sent pulses soaring as Gabrielle goes through a racy routine.

Gabrielle has become best known for performing an X-rated strip, as a "Pole Dancinng Stripper", wearing only a skimpy bikini, in theVirgin Atlantic Airlines commercial. The final shot shows her ripping off her top and throwing it over her shoulder. This is where she was given the title "The Pleasure Machine" since the commercial said "Aboard The Pleasure Machine" referring to the airline and not Gabrielle. Maybe everyone else got the wrong idea, but could you blame them?

Before arriving in Australia, Gabrielle featured in advertising campaigns which included Diesel Jeans (worldwide), the 1998 Heineken Calendar, Virgin Atlantic Airways and the Pepsi commercial featuring Janet Jackson (worldwide).

Gabrielle spent years working for top model agency Elite Premier before deciding to come to Australia for work. The trip started as a two-week modelling shoot, and within a week she met boyfriend Solomon Haumono. The two-week stay ending up becoming a two year stay.

In early to mid 1998, Gabrielle had to return to England leaving Australia to be back with her parents. At this time her boyfriend, Solomon Haumono, received a $AUS200,000 contract with the Canterbury Football Rubgy League Club.

On Sunday June 7 1998, Solomon went AWOL and took off to England to see Gabrielle, without letting anyone know, not even his parents. After one week abroad, and facing the sack from the Caterbury Leauges Club, Gabrielle and Solomon returned with the help of Solomon's best friend, Anthony Mundine.

After returning to Australia, Gabrielle has scored a number of interviews and modeling shoots including The Star, Ray Martin, "The Footy Show", CLEO Magazine, RALPH Magazine, The Midday Show with Kerri-Ann, New Idea and Inside Sport Magazine.

Gabrielle's success continues to grow, with another RALPH Magazinespread, as well as Australian Playboy, where she is on the cover of the 20th Anniversary Edition. Gabrielle has split up with her boyfriend Solomon, who placed Gabrielle in the spot light with their relationship. But it is clear she doesn't need him to be successful.

After posing for Playboy, Gabrielle was quoted saying

"It's one of the honours of my life to be asked to pose for Playboy."
"It's somthing that I have always wanted to do. You guys [Playboy] asking me was just like - you know those moments when you just wanted to feel so happy, doing something you badly want to be doing? Thats how I felt. It just felt really, really nice."
"I just totally enjoyed the shoot; everyone was wonderful. I love doing shoots when I have input into what I'm doing. After 10 years of modelling...you never get a say; it was really nice"
"I love the shots...and I never like my pictures, ever, ever. I've always loved the glamour side of modelling. I've always found doing fashion just so boring. I've always loved Playboy and I've always thought I'd love to do it."
"I didn't just do it as a career move - I just think that it is such a great mag; it's something that goes down in history"

I have had the pleasure to meet Gabrielle and talk to her at2DayFM's radio show with Ugly Phil, and have learnt that Gabrielle is currently in acting school, and is hoping to pursue this career further.

Gabrielle has succeeded in her hopes for acting, and can now be seen on Channel Ten's "Total Sports" on Sunday afternoons. She did audition for Channel Seven's "Wheel Of Fortune" but did not get it as she has posed for Playboy and she was not considered for "Family Viewing"

After a break without Solomon Haumono, Gabrielle has now gone back together with the Balmain football player.
