Pippi Longstocking.

I think Pippi Longstocking was onto something here! This is her theme song, the song that best describes her..


Freedom calls
Pippi runs
The girl who never heard she couldn't do something
Watch out world 
Cause here she comes
And shes bound to teach you more then one thing
Pippi Longstocking is comin' into your town
The one no one can keep down
No No No No
The one who's fun to be around
Whoa! Whoa!
Pippi Longstocking is comin' into your world
A freckled faced red haired girl you ought to know
She'll throw your life into her world

She dreams dreams like me and you
And yes, it seems that she always makes her dreams come true
She loves trees and roaring seas 
And the mountains please her more than toys do
Pippi Longstocking is comin' into your town
The one no one can keep down
No No No No
The one who's fun to be around
Whoa! Whoa!
Pippi Longstocking is comin' into your world
A freckled faced red haired girl you ought to know
She'll throw your life her world

Warmth hits the heart.

She saw the chance. She decided to take it. Without another thought in her head, she jumped on the motorbike and took the spare helmet that this handsome stranger offered her. 

As she rode away from situation that had plagued her for hours, the frustrations, the tension and the fright began to wear off. She was free. The fresh breeze was blowing against her skin and after spending all day on the beach in the sun, the cool breeze was a welcoming change. She wasn't cold inside anymore. The sun was beginning to set at 9 that night. The sight was indescribable. The colours that were used to paint this perfect sunset could never be re-created. She smiled. Even though the sun was setting, she felt like it was warming her up from the inside out. It gave her hope that another one of these sunsets were possible. That, surely, this wasn't the only one of it's kind. 

The handsome stranger begun to interrupt her thoughts with polite conversation. She answered as best she could, as there was a slight language barrier. Who would have thought that this ending were possible? With the arrival at her destination, a quick but grateful kiss was given and she turned to run back into the arms of reality. Not before one last glance was given to the perfect stranger, who was watching her leave with disappointment, never to be seen or heard from again.

Raquel Zimmermann

According to Models.com, Raquel Zimmermann is the current top model. She's represented in Milan, New York, Paris, London and even Sao Paulo! The reason why she's still at number one? Well, not knowing her personally at this point in time, i can only quote what has been said about her: Because she is such a professional and she is so passionate in her work and because she still keeps taking those memorable pictures, she remains the most wanted. Oh, she also likes to play the guitar and ride a skateboard when she's not catwalking..

Her portfolio is incredible and she's being talked about left, right and centre by the modeling world. This 24 year old has been modeling now for almost a decade! Makes you feel just a tad insignificant when she's accomplished so much by the age of 24! The shows that she's opened and closed for, the amazing editorials that she's pulled off, the intriguing advertising campaigns and, of course, the many of magazine covers that she's graced... I wonder just when she gets to play the guitar or ride a skateboard!

There seem to be two types of models. Those who take it all in their stride and stay true to who they are in order to try to make some sort of difference in this world. And those who conform to what they think society wants them to be in order to go to the right parties and meet the 'right people'. It can sometimes be tough, though, in figuring out just which is going to be the right decision for your career and obviously Raquel Zimmermann has made quite a few fantastic decisions! The amount of hard work that she would have put in when it seems effortless would be mind blowing.. I once was told that before you can start succeeding in your dreams, you must put in 10 000 hours into building it up... In-ter-esting!!


And there, floating and bobbing was every bit of her unsinkable spirit.
