Kore, that's pretty...

Welcome to the world of beauty journalism…

It was backstage at an Alex Perry show at the Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival. I’d shown up for my (most probably unscheduled) interview and Miranda had her eyes shut so that the doating makeup artist hovering above her face could paint on an alarming amount of blue glitter. There was so much of the heavy metal (and, yikes, glue) going onto her lids that I was worried they might stay closed permenantly. 

Admittedly the fear was fleeting. I was playing the role of stressed-out reporter rather finely and didn’t have time to worry about her peepers. Course not. This was one of those fly-by-the-seat-of your-pants kind of stories that happen at fashion shows and I had an editor waiting back at the office for anwsers and a scary blank space in her layout. So I plowed on; Ms Kerr’s eyes firmly shut.  

The reason I’m telling this tale is becasue I’ve just come across this rather saucy shoot with Miranda looking hot-to-trot on the beach of Necker Island. It was shot just the other day for the Victoria Secret 2010 Swimsuit Catalogue.  

Here it is (don’t say I don’t share)

Miranda swanning it on the beach

Yes, yes, she’s hot-as. But I still haven’t got to the bit about the hand holding… (what? want to watch the vid again, well ok, then we’ll get back to the story.)

Ready? When Miranda was finally given permission by the makeup artist to open her eyes (the interview had gone rather well up until this time, thanks for asking), Miranda’s amazing blue eyes sprang open and with that huge dimpled smile she’s so famed for said, “Hi!” while grabbing my hand as if I was, in fact, the very person she was wanting to see all along.

I have to say the girl is good – and even more gorgeous with her eyes open. But she is also sweet in the kind of way that you don’t expect from a superstar model. So I’d like to put it on the record; the girl is kinda, really nice.

And healthy. Blimey, just looking at her glowing skin is enough to make a girl want to kick her daily cappuccinos. Her secret is yoga and acai berries. Both. Lots. But Miranda has made it easier for non-yogis who like a glass of pinot every now and then with her new skincare label, Kora by Miranda Kerr. Check it out here. It’s organic, full of goodness, and really very nice to look at.

Kinda like Miranda. 

Til next time,
