LERYN FRANCO GORGEOUS PARAGUAYAN JAVELIN THROWER

Dear readers of fashiontotal. Today we’re going to honor the blog’s name and combine sport and beauty. Today’s post is dedicated to a female athlete who’s better know for her beauty than for her athletic skills. She’s been considered as the female athlete in the recently held Beijing Olympics beating some of the most acclaimed female athletes in the world such as Amanda Beard, Blanca Vlasic or Carolina Kluft. As some of you may have guessed today’s post is dedicated to the Paraguayan javelin thower Leryn Franco, a real stunner. Don’t you agree with me? I love the piercing she wears in her navel.

Leryn Franco is a statuesque Paraguayan athlete who besides being really gorgeous is also a kind of javelin thrower. Leryn was born in Asuncion, the capital city of Paraguay, on March 1 1982. She’s 175 centimeters high and her measures are those of a top model 94-60-90. Leryn participated in the last Olympic Games held in Beijing (her second Olympic Games because se had already competed in Athens 2004). I love her sports outfit and she looks really nice dressed as a javelin thrower. Nice sunglasses and nice bum. No wonder that she also trudges the catwalk besides throwing the javelin. In Athens 2004 she was ranked 42nd in the overall standings and in Beijing she didn’t do much better and finished in 51st position throwing the javelin 10 meters short of her personal best (55.38 metres). It seems that the only thing she did in Beijing was to get acquainted with Serbian tennis player and bronze medalist Novak Djokovic. As I said before Leryn is not only an athlete but also a professional model. She’s more of a model than a javelin thrower. Leryn Franco participated in Miss Paraguay contest in 2006. She almost won the contest getting the second place. Had I been a member of the jury she would’ve won for sure. After that, Leryn represented Paraguay in the Miss Bikini contest held in Behai’s beches in Southeast China where she again got the second place and was named First Princess after Ucranian representative Olena C. Why Princess? She’s a real Queen. Leryn says that working as a model allows her to keep on doing her favorite sport since the timetable is quite flexible and she can earn quite a lot of money as a photograph and catwalk model. Pay attention to the picture below. She had better be careful when walking down the catwalk unless she wants to show off her really nice boobs what I don’t mind at all. Besides modeling Leryn has joined the group of girls who have launched calendars in recent years and she posed for her own calendar in 2007. The pictures were taken by Martin Crespo and some of them, which you can see in the slideshow at the end of the post, are really nice. To conclude I’ll leave a video so you can see her dressed in fashionable sport clothes and throwing the javelin at an athletic meeting. Best regards.

CZECH BEAUTIES: HANA SOUKUPOVA VICTORIA'S SECRET'S ANGEL

Dear readers of Sport and beauty. We are going to dedicate today’s post to a gorgeous model. She comes from Eastern Europe, from the Czech Republic. Perhaps she’s not as famous as Karolina Kurkova or Petra Nemcova but a promising future lies ahead of her. Moreover, she has managed to get accepted in the exclusive circle of Victoria’s Secret’s angels, a major breakthrough worth to be taken into account. Today’s post is going to be dedicated to the gorgeous Czech model Hana Soukupova, a real stunner.

Hana Soukupova was born on the 18th of December 1985 in Karlovy Vary a thermal resort located in the Czech Republic (former Czechoslovakia). Hana’s height (181 centimeters) and her long legs made her stand out amongst the rest of her mates very soon and, before hitting the catwalk, Hana had already played basketball in her town’s basketball team. With only 13 years of age Hana started working as a model in Prague, Czech Republic’s capital city. Perhaps the world has lost an outstanding basketball player but for sure we have won a first class top model. Hana Soukupova started to be known in the fashion world in September 2004 when she was selected as one of the nine top models to appear in the cover of “Vogue” US in an issue that compared today’s models with those of the 80,s and the 90,s. Amongst other famous models Daria Werbowy, Gemma Ward, Gisele Bundchen and Hana’s fellow countrywoman Karolina Kurkova also posed alongside Hana in the cover of the US Vogue. Besides Vogue Hana has also appeared in Vogue Italia, China, Russia and Japan and in the covers of Harpers Bazaar, ELLE, Spur y W. Hana Soukupova has modeled for Gucci, Bvlgari, Escada, Balenciaga, Max Mara, Tse, Dior, Jill Stuart, Carolina Herrera, and Versace and she’s the spokesperson for Gucci’s perfume Envyy. As you can see Hana is a rising star in the fashion world. So much so that she’s joined the exclusive circle of Victoria’s Secret’s angels and trudged the catwalk along with Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Karolina Kurkova amongst others in 2006 and 2007 Victoria’s Secret fashion shows. Here you are her personal data and measurements.

Besides working as a model Hana tries to keep always fit running marathons and doing kickboxing. During her leisure time Hana also tries to show her artistic talent through photography and she’s also passionate about cinema. As far as her private life is concerned, Hana Soukupova is married to New Yorker Drew Aaron, CEO of the Aaron Group and they live together in New York. I don’t know why but it seems to be a custom for gorgeous models to marry millionaires. To conclude this post I’ll leave a slideshow with the best Hana Soukupova’s pictures and a video so you can see the beautiful Hana. Best regards.

ELSA PATAKY GORGEOUS SPANISH ACTRESS

Today’s post is going to be dedicated to a beautiful and gorgeous Spanish actress. Perhaps so far she’s better known for being Adrien Brody’s fiancé than for her career but she’s a safe bet for the future and is working hard trying to pursue a career in Hollywood. Undoubtedly she’s got everything she needs to become a star. She’s almost flawless: a pretty face and a statuesque body despite she’s only 161 centimetres high. Do you already know who she is? She’s Elsa Pataky.

Elsa Lafuente Medianu, known as Elsa Pataky, was born in Madrid on July 18th 1976 to Cristina and José Francisco. Her mother has Romanian and Hungarian ancestors and Elsa took Pataky as her last name in honor of her grandfather who instilled her her love for acting. Elsa Pataky is not the typical blond bombshell. On the contrary she’s very well prepared because she studied at a drama school in Madrid and journalism at the University although she dropped out when she was cast for the TV series “Al salir de clase” which paved the wave for her film career. In addition to that, Elsa speaks four languages: Spanish, French, English and Romanian. After the success of “Al salir de clase” and some little known movies (“Clara”, “Menos es más” y “Tatawo”) she got the opportunity to star in “El arte de morir” a major film which was an important ticket office hit. Since then Elsa has performed in all kind of films: comedies, dramas, thrillers, horror movies although mainly acting in comedies. In 2003 she appeared in “El furgón”, “Atraco a las 3... y media” and in the horror film “Beyond Re-Animator” and in 2005 she stars in the film “Ninette” directed by José Luis Garci and in the French film “Iznogoud”. Finally in 2006 she gets to land in Hollywood with a small role in the cult thriller “Snakes on a plane” alongside Samuel L. Jackson. In 2007 se worked with Monica Bellucci in “Manual d’amore 2“ and she also worked with Gerard Depardieu, David Beckham and Michael Schumacher in the star-studded film “Asterix aux jeux olympiques”(2007) released in 2008. This is her complete filmography :

2000: “Menos es más”, “El arte de morir”

2003:”Atraco a las 3... y Media”, “El Furgón”, “Beyond Re-Animator”

2004: “Romasanta”, “Tiovivo c. 1950”

2005: “Iznogoud”, “Ninette”, “Robots”

2006: “Snakes on the plane”

2007: “Máncora”, “Santos”, “Manuale d'amore 2”

2008: “Stake or die”, “Asterix aux jeux olympiques”

Apart from acting, the Spanish stunner has also graced the covers of numerous magazines such as GQ, Woman, Marie Claire, In Style and Telva. In 2007 Elsa got involved in a controversy when “Elle” made her some pictures half-naked in an exotic beach. The pictures were pirated by a “paparazzi” and the most daring were published by the Spanish magazine “Interviu”. Her love life has also been quite busy. Elsa was involved in a long relation with Spanish race motorcyclist Fonsi Nieto better known for picking gorgeous girls than for winning races. After putting an end to this love story with Fonsi she started a new relation in 2004 with French comedian Michael Youn who in fact criticized her a lot in many TV programs. Elsa and Michael broke up in 2005 and currently she’s dating long-nosed American actor Adrien Brody (“The pianist”) who she’s reportedly going to marry in the next future. To conclude I’ll leave a slideshow with the best Elsa Pataky’s pictures and a video where you can see her sporting a revealing black lingerie outfit. Best regards.

AMANDA BEARD PRETTIEST FEMALE SWIMMER OF ALL TIMES

Dear readers of Sport & Beauty. Sport and fashion are closely related. Female sport stars sometimes try to pursue a career in modeling or occassionally work as models. Perhaps the most famous example are Russian players Anna Kournikova and Maria Sharapova. But there are also beautiuf and gourgeous sportwomen in other sports. Today we are going to dedicate this post to the world’s female swimmer of all time: Amanda Beard. Amanda Ray Beard was born on October 29, 1981, in Irvine, California, United States of America. Both her sisters, Leah and Taryn, swam at local clubs and to impress them, Amanda Beard began jumping in the pool as early as four years of age. Eventually Amanda joined a swimming club and she soon started to stand out amongst her mates.In 1995, she earned a U.S. National Title in the 100-meter breaststroke, was named a National A team member, and took second place in the Pan Pacific Championships for the 400-meter medley relay. Amanda Beard was selected for the U.S. National Team that was gearing up for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. At the Games, Amanda Beard didn't disappoint. She took the silver medal in both the 100-meter and 200-meter breaststroke, and the gold for her contribution in the breaststroke leg of the 400-meter medley relay. In doing so, she became the second-youngest American gold medalist in swimming history (Pokey Watson still retains the top title from her 1964 win). Amanda Beard graduated from high school in 1999 and enrolled at the University of Arizona, where she flourished even more under a new swimming coach. She took the silver at the 1999 World University Games in the 100-meter breaststroke, and the following year won the silver in the 200-meter at the NCAA Championships. She would take the event's top medal in 2001.

Amanda's performance at the 2000 Sydney Games was largely ignored by the media. She took the bronze in the 200-meter breaststroke (her fourth Olympic medal) but this latest accomplishment didn't grab any headlines. Nonetheless, the sporting world continued to view Amanda Beard as a hero. When she took a year off school in 2001 to travel the world to swim professionally, clubs throughout the world invited her to lead clinics and give motivational speeches. She wasn't just a pretty swimmer. She was a smart, inspiring pretty swimmer. In 2002, she broke the American record in the 200-meter breaststroke at the Swimming World Cup, and bagged two gold medals in the Pan Pacific Championships. In 2003, she scored the highest honor of her still-burgeoning career. At the World Championships in Barcelona, she broke the world record in the 200-meter, becoming the No. 1 breaststroke swimmer throughout the world and history. At the 2004 Athens Games Amanda took the gold in the 200-meter breaststroke and the 400-meter relay. Away from the swimming pool Amanda Beard has also done some modeling. She has graced different issues of FHM and Playboy and has also modeled for the 2006 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. I personally prefer her photo shooting for FHM (you can see the pictures in the slide at the end of the post). Like Pamela Anderson, Joanna Krupa and Fernanda Tavares amongst many others, Amanda is also an enthusiastic environmentalist and she usually cooperates with PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) in campaigns against the use of fur for clothing. Under the slogan “I’d rather be naked than wear fur” she tried to pose naked for PETA last week in Beijing but she had to give up since Chinese authorities banned the protest for public security reasons. Maybe Chinese authorities feared thousands of excited Amanda’s fans jumping at her. To finish with the post I’ll leave a slideshow with Amanda's pictures and a video where you can see this pretty American swimmer being interviewed. We sincerely wish her all the best at the Beijing Olympic Games. Best Regards.

MARIA SHARAPOVA: WORLD' FEMALE TENNIS PLAYER

Hey friends. It’s widely know the close relationship between female tennis and the world of fashion. Everything started with Anna Kournikova. She was the forerunner of the new breed of young beautiful tennis players -most of them coming from Eastern Europe- that, when out of the court, love fashion and modeling. Anna Kournikova never won a WTA Tournament but became a symbol and a fashion icon. Since then many female players have followed her steps. Perhaps her most advanced pupil is her fellow countrywoman the gourgeous and beautiful Russian babe Maria Sharapova. Maria Sharapova is not only one of the beautiful and most beautiful athletes in the world but also plays tennis beautifully.

Maria Yuryevna Sharapova was born in 1987 to Yuri and Yelena in the town of Nyagan in Siberia, Russia. Previously her parents had lived in Gomel, Belarus, but were compelled to move after the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986. At the age of two her family moved to Sochi. There, Sharapova‘s father befriended Yevgeny’s Kafelnikov father, Aleksandre, who gave Sharapova her first tennis racket at the age of four. At the age of six, Sharapova attended a tennis clinic run by Martina Navratilova during the Kremlim Cup in Moscow. Martina noted Sharapova was talented but required professional training, recommending the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Florida. Sharapova and her father, neither of whom could speak English, moved to Florida in 1994 with only 700$ in their pockets. Several days after their arrival father and daughter showed up at the IMG's Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Bradenton, Florida and in December 1995 Maria received a scholarship to the Academy and became a full-time student. Sharapova turned professional in 2001, although she played a total of just two WTA tournaments in 2001 and 2002 plus six challenger events. She became the youngest girl to reach the final at the junior Australian Open in 2002, and repeated this feat at Wimbledon later in the same year.

Shortly after Wimbledon 2008 a magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed Maria Sharapova had been suffering from a torn rotator cuff since April, and consequently, she announced she was to take a break of two to three months, ruling her out of both the Beijing Olympics and the US Open. What a pity for her numerous supporters!! Throughout her career Maria has won 19 singles and 3 doubles titles. This is the list of Maria Sharapova's titles.

2003:
- Japan Open Tennis Championships, Tokyo (singles and doubles)
- Bell Challenge, Quebec City, Canada
- Fortis Championships, Luxembourg, Luxembourg (doubles)

2004:
- DFS Classic, Birmingham, United Kingdom (singles and doubles)
- Wimbledon, London
- Hansol Korea Open Tennis Championships, Seoul
- Japan Open Tennis Championships, Tokyo
- WTA Championships, Los Angeles

2005:
- Toray Pan Pacific Open, Tokyo
- Qatar Total Open, Doha
- DFS Classic, Birmingham, United Kingdom

2006:
- Pacific Life Open, Indian Wells, California, U.S.
- Acura Classic, San Diego, California, U.S.
- US Open, New York City
- Zürich Open, Zürich, Switzerland
- Generali Ladies Linz, Linz, Austria

2007:
- Acura Classic, San Diego, California, U.S.

2008:
- Australian Open, Melbourne
- Qatar Total Open, Doha
- Bausch & Lomb Championships, Amelia Island, Florida, U.S.

Sharapova is visible in and outside of the court for her looks. She might well work as a model and, in fact, she has already done some modeling. She is 187 centimeters high and her measurements are (US) 32.5-24-34 ; (EU) 82-61-86.5. Sharapova posed in a six-page bikini photoshoot spread in the 2006 issue of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. In April 2005, Sharapova was listed by People Magazine as among the 50 most beautiful celebrities in the World and in 2006, Maxim magazine named Sharapova the athlete in the world for the fourth consecutive year. She’s been signed by many companies to advertise their products. Amongst them we can quote the tennis racket brand Prince, car makers Honda and Land Rover, Motorola, Gatorade, Tropicana, Swiss sports match maker TAG Heder, Cannon Inc and the sportsclothing manufacturer giant Nike. I'll finish this post leaving a slideshow of the best Maria Sharapova's pictures and a video of Maria's photo shooting for Sports Illustrated. Best regards.

Supermodel Karolina Kurkova has been attacked by the Brazilian media

Supermodel Karolina Kurkova has been attacked by the Brazilian media for appearing too fat on the runway.

Karolina Kurkova Supermodel

Czech Kurkova was slated in the country for appearing in a bikini with what critics called "back fat, love handles and cellulite".

Kurkova, 24, is best known for being a Victoria's Secret Angel whose superfit physique has graced the pages of fashion magazines around the world.

But her recent appearance at the Cia Maritima show during Sao Paulo Fashion Week had fashion critics up in arms.

An article in a Brazilian paper about the leggy 5'11" Kurkova described how "shocked" the audience was when she appeared looking uncharacteristically chubby with "cellulite on her butt."

Kurkova is one of the world's highest-paid models, according to Forbes.

In addition to Victoria's Secret, she has featured in campaigns for Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, Chanel and Balenciaga.

The fashion industry has been under fire recently for its promotion of skinny models and pledged to adopt a more healthy image for young girls who often force themselves to become thin in the battle to secure a place among the top tier.

In 2006, Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston, 21, made headlines when she died of anorexia on the eve of a Paris photoshoot after subsisting on a diet of apples and tomatoes for several months. At 5'8", she weighed just 39.9kg.

In 2007, Uruguayan fashion model Eliana Ramos, 18, died of a heart attack believed to be related to malnutrition.

The shocking deaths prompted a public outcry and heavy criticism of the fashion industry for promoting unattainable standards of beauty.

Karolina Kurkova plays Covergirl in G.I.Joe

VICTORIA’S Secret lingerie model Karolina Kurkova plays Covergirl in Paramount Pictures’ G.I.Joe movie but her costume couldn’t be less covergirl-ish. Promotional photos show Victoria’s Secret angel dressed in ugly grey army fatigues - just when did authenticity get a role in action fantasy with a lingerie model?

No wonder some disappointment has been expressed by the boy-bloggers and fans of G.I.Joe. Information about the movie is sketchy, with even the industry Bible of film production imdb.com still listing Brendan Fraser on its cast list - a fact which Robert Sanchez of www.iesb.net has announced is wrong, after visiting the set.
Sanchez says he was one of only six members of the media allowed to visit the Downey Studios this week - though his interviews with the cast have been embargoed. Instead he writes on his blog about the studio location - which was once used by NASA to construct different vehicles for the Apollo Space Program and for the building of the Space Shuttles Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavor.
Again with the authenticity? The script is co-written by Sydney’s Stuart Beattie, who wrote Baz Luhrman’s Australia and the three Pirates of the Caribbean screenplays. But lets get it straight, for those of us who might think that G.I.Joe is a character, G.I.Joe stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity - a unit of black operatives who operate out of a headquarters called The Pit.
And the G.I.Joes go by loveable names such as Duke, Snake Eyes, and General Hawk. Apart from Robert Sanchez’s ravings about the sets, it appears that concern is that the casting of Dennis Quaid and the rubber outfits are signs that the movie will turn out a little camp. But Ray Park, who played Darth Maul in Phantom Menace, does play Snake Eyes.
Paramount released a few photos of cast in black rubber costumes a while back which met with cool to disappointed responses from online G.I.Joe fans. The latest photos were of Sienna Miller on set in her black rubber suit. There’s not a lot of compliments in the online community of potential theatre-goers - apart from the ravings of Robert Sanchez for iesb.net.
Not that Paramount will be worried about one flop next year, as Variety’s Anne Thompson reports in her blog, the studio raked in $1 billion on the back of a year of blockbusters including: Indiana Jones, Kung Fu Panda, Iron Man, and the No Country For Old Men, which won an Oscar for Best Film.

Bundchen also revealed that she and Brady were brought together by a common friend. She added: "We met through a friend who knew us both for a long time. Our friend knew that we would like each other. And we did. So I guess he was right."

BEAUTIFUL GIRLS KEELEY HAZELL

Dear readers of sport&beauty. Today’s post is dedicated to one of the most desirable women in the world. She started working as a page-three girl in the British tabloid “The Sun” and since then she’s pursued a career in modeling and advertising. I don’t know why British tabloids hide these girls in page three instead of displaying them in the cover. Perhaps you’ve already guessed that today’s post is going to be about the British stunner Keeely Hazell. She’s not bad, isn’t she?

Keeley Rebecca Hazell was born on the 18th of September 1986 in Lewisham in the outskirts of London. Her mother, Amber, worked as a dinner lady and her father, Roy, worked as a blind repairer. Keeley has two sisters Roxanne and Georgia. Keeley Hazell grew up in Grove Park and went to Ravensbourne school in Bromley. She was not brilliant a student and frequently played truant. She has admitted that during her secondary education she only took five exams as she was sent off while taking the rest of them. Nevertheless she seemed to be very good at Maths and English language. What about French??? I have to admit that I like her a lot. Let’s go on. When she was only 16 Keeley dropped out of school to work as a hairdresser although her real calling was to become a model and a page- three girl and pose half naked for the main British tabloids such as “The Daily Star” & “The Sun”. Her former Arts teacher tried to discourage her telling that she had little breast but she refused to be dismayed when she started to check that her boobs were growing unstoppably. She had somebody take her some pictures and sent them to a contest organized by “The Daily Star” to choose “the girl of the beach”.

Keeley won the contest and although she was keen on leaving her job at the hairdresser’s it was still too soon for her to work as a model. She was too young and only 168 centimeters high to work as a catwalk model. When she turned 18 her boyfriend took her some more pictures and sent them to another contest sponsored by “The Sun” to chose page-three girls. No wonder that Keeley won this new contest and got the price consisting of 10000₤ worth of clothing and a one-year contract with “The Sun”. All of a sudden Keeley became a fast rising star and sculptor Leigh Heppell made three bronze sculptures of her impressive bust. She’s also appeared in a number of magazines for men including Maxim, FHM, Loaded, Nuts y Zoo although she refused and offer to pose for Playboy on the grounds that she wouldn’t feel comfortable if she made it. However, Keeley went on posing for “The Sun” appearing in the 2006 calendar published by the tabloid. Although she’s not very good at driving cars she is the spokesperson of PlayStation’s Formula 1 games. In 2008 Keeley launched her own calendar and posed for Zoo and FHM. She also grabbed a little role in the British film “Cashback” (2006) and launched her first music video a song titled “Voyeur”. Nowadays Keeley is considered as one of the most desirable women in the World. In 2007 she was ranked number 2 by FHM on the list of the women and number 13 by AskMen.com in its Top 99. Keeley is also a militant environmentalist and she gives some tips to preserve environment. Do you know one of the best? Switch off the lights before making love. Who knows? Maybe the lights are always off in her place.

Supermodel Adriana Lima Engaged with Marko Jaric

Victoria's Secret catwalker Adriana Lima has officially gotten engaged to NBA hoops man Marko Jaric, starting shooting guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, his rep confirms.

Jaric, 29, popped the question on the voluptuous brunette beauty's 27th birthday Thursday and presented her with a ring. The couple have been dating for about nine months.
"He asked, and she said yes. They are both incredibly happy and couldn't be more in love," the Serbian-born basketball star's publicist James Weir told People.

Lima, touted in the media as one of the sexiest women in the world, has previously stated her intention to wait until after marriage before having sex for the first time, despite having famously dated rocker Lenny Kravitz and Yankees MVP Derek Jeter.
