Pirelli Calendar

News has come out (that is yet to be confirmed) that Daria will be in the new 2009 pirelli calendar. I've heard of this calendar briefly before but don't really know what it is - supposedly a girls exclusive calendar according to wikipedia? Although, I wouldn't really trust their sources. But after searching for images on google all i see are wet and half naked models with squinted eyes.....
This should be interesting!

Daria by Daria

Quick post here as I'm off to bed soon - I'm too tired for anything substantial!
Daria is not in one, but two new interviews featuring her work for Lancome and her personal life (haha yeah right). She is featured in an issue of Hello Canada as well as Glamour UK.
The hello canada interview was scanned by elytrae at tFS (thanks!). i read through and nothing new. You'd think if they had an interview with such an amazing model with great personality they would ask better questions... it's all really snippets of what she's said before.

Daria by aria is a new interview in Glamour UK. I haven't read through the entire thing yet but it seems a bit more promising - a new photo shoot and a lengthy feature! you can find the scans here

Edit: I have just read through the Glamour article and nothing interesting. The shots are beautiful and the ones in this post are my favourite. Really the only "juicy" piece of information is that Daria has a boyfriend, which is really not that interesting at all!

Supermodel Status?

I'm in shock right now! I was just writing a dreary post on how there was no Daria news of late - and then this. Daria Werbowy has received the Canadian equivalent of a Oscar (ok, not really). She's getting her own star on the Canadian Walk of Fame. Daria has been chosen along with Bryan Adams, recording artist, Frances Bay, actor, James Cameron, director and producer, Michael J. Fox, actor and activist, k.d. lang, recording artist, The Kids in the Hall, comedy troupe and Steve Nash, NBA star to have their own star on the Walk of Fame

Thoughts later - a bit surprised now, to say the least. To view the full story click here

Update Ok, now my thoughts on all of this. First off, I am proud of the girl - I think she's the first model to be inducted into this hall of fame. But then I started really thinking of this fame thing - this achievement is more of an entertainment type thing. It's not the Noble prize or something. You hardly ever find scientists or philosophists on the walk. But she is in good company - Mike Meyers is a genius.

But I looked at the criteria was a bit surprised. To qualify for induction to Canada's Walk of Fame, candidates must have been born in Canada or spent their formative or creative years here. They must also have been successful for a minimum of 10 years and have a body of work recognized for its impact on our cultural heritage. I don't really know if Missoni ad campaigns or half naked editorials with Andres Segura impact Canada's cultural heritage ... But I really can't argue that she is successful - Daria has made herself known in the fashion world, although her repertoire in popular culture is certainly not as big as Steve Nash's. You can say that she is the biggest Canadian model so far, apart from Linda Evangelista (although Linda already has a astar)
So it's a nice thing. I'm proud of our girl, and that she is getting recognition for her hard work, as well as her charitable work. But somehow I can't help wondering if this will be Daria's final bow? It seems as if she's given quite a lot of herself to the media lately (literally and figuratively) and maybe that's all? Hopefully Daria will be around for a while!

Hidden Treasures

Do you remember when eword found those gorgeous pictures from Derek Ketella's website? (well, if you don't then go on to her blog to see!)
Daria shot with him for the feature she did in Glamour IT. It seems as if the photographer couldn't help snapping more pictures of her as I found one more at his site.
At first glance I had no idea who it was (I guess it was the angle). But you can clearly see her tattoos around her ankle and on her toe. This shot is all limbs - Daria looks like a giant! But none the less beautiful...
I can't help finding something wrong with her left arm though. It seems a bit tense on the table?
Edit: I think it's just me - after seeing it in large the arm doesn't look awkward at all
this is precisely why I love Daria and her modeling. she manages to look seductive while being nonchalant. no curled hair or push-up bras needed.

And here is the other shot I love - Daria in her bed at her apartment in NYC

in many ways, they'll miss the good old days

A bit off topic, but when there isn't much news, we should find something else to post about! I'm now listening to Someday by The Strokes. This song has made me so nostalgic! I need to go back to 2001 in NY and listen to them play live! Is anyone else excited for their new album? At the risk of sounding like a fangirl i almost cried when i heard they were done their fourth album!

thanks to eword at darialogist

In Motion: Daria in Brazil

If you haven't already seen - here are two new videos featuring Daria back when she visited brazil.The first video is of Daria and her work with Lancome and Centro Especial

The second video is of Daria's visit to Brazil, where she attended carnival and shot the Vogue Brazil May cover. The thing i find really weird is the music.... "shakin' that ass" - what the hell?
