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.

ELSA PATAKY GORGEOUS SPANISH ACTRESS

Today’s post is going to be dedicated to a sexy 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.
