Gisele Bundchen is the cover girl of the May 2009 issue of Vanity Fair.
In the interview entitled, "...And God Created Gisele," we learned that gorg Gisele was called Olive Oly and Saracura when she was a young girl.
"A Saracura is a a bird with really skinny long legs,” she reports.
“I was taller than every guy in my class. Especially at that age, you think you’re the weirdest thing that ever walked on earth.”
What we liked about Gisele? She's not just another pretty face.
Gisele’s values have also been shaped by her reading, which ranges from the teachings of Buddhist master Thich Nhat Hanh to her current favorites, Don Miguel Ruiz’s books of Toltec wisdom, The Four Agreements, The Mastery of Love, and The Voice of Knowledge. Such works have helped to give her a newfound sense of inner peace.
“Everything became so much simpler,” she says. “It’s like, ‘Oh—now I get it!’ You have this kind of epiphany—I don’t need to sweat the small stuff! Enjoy the journey, not the destination. I want to be happy every day. I want to live life to the fullest, feeling joyful. If I don’t, I’ve got to stop and question why, because I think our natural state should be that. Reading things is so important to me—things that can open up your mind. You need to feed your mind.”

28-year-old Gisele Bundchen is the cover girl for the April 2009 issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine.
A newlywed and new step-mother, Gisele admits there was a time five or six years ago when she didn't treat her body very kindly.
“I was drinking a lot of red wine, smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes a day, and eating cheeseburgers all day. I was treating my body, which is my temple and my best friend, as my worst enemy. I was almost punishing myself. I was so tired. I was working so much and I was numb.”
Gisele said she got out of her slump by taking six months off and spending some time in her home country of Brazil.
“If you are happy, you can give happiness. If you don’t love yourself and if you are unhappy with yourself, you can’t give anything else but that.”
