| • Everything you want to know about Miss Lima |
| GQ USA April 2006 |

She shows up precisely on time—for breakfast. At ten o’clock on a Saturday morning. In Midtown Manhattan. (This alone tells us she is not your average supermodel.) But wait. Adriana Lima, the Brazilian beauty, the ninety-seventh highest-paid famous person in the world according to Forbes, the reason our nephews spank away to Victoria’s Secret catalogs, has plenty of surprises. (Unfortunately, no surprises about her famous ex-boyfriends: We are told ahead of time that any questions about Lenny Kravitz, the model-collecting rocker with whom she was allegedly involved, are “off-limits.” Ditto for Derek Jeter.) But did we mention she’s a virgin? Hey, that’s her story—and she’s stickin’ to it.
How old are you, anyway?
Did you always plan on being a supermodel?
Yeah. Pediatrician. So you like kids?
I take it you’re religious?
Wow. A scapular. Do you go to church?
Is there anything in the teachings of the Catholic Church that you don’t agree with?
Are you pro-life?
How do you feel about abortion?
Okay, so let’s get started. You know the theme of this issue, right? Love, Sex, and Madness
Which category do you want to talk about first?
I figured. Okay. Have you been in love a lot?
Were you ever before?
Are you a one-guy woman?
Look, I’m Catholic, too, but there’s a lot of things about the church that make it hard to date within its rules, don’t you think?
Birth control, premarital sex…
Say what?
Are you saying you’re not going to have sex before marriage?
You mean you’ve never had sex?
You sure about this?
How do men respond to the fact that you plan to, you know, wait?
Who was your first boyfriend?
Get out.
Did you ever have your heart broken?
They dumped you?
Were you depressed?
You didn’t crawl into bed for a week and cry your eyes out?
So except for the man you’re so in love with, who is your idea of a really hot guy?
Besides him.
But how do guys—when you’re out and you’re at a club or a restaurant or an event, how do guys approach—
I know you don’t sleep with anyone, but just for the sake of argument: Who would you rather sleep with, Bush or Clinton? Any other thoughts about sex? I’m not very experienced, okay?
I guess we don’t have much to talk about, sexwise?
So…any beauty tips?
And is all of you natural?
Okay, got it. But if you could improve one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Except sex.
Of course. |
