04/18/2008: "Aussie Eye Candy"

Pretty thin on the postings this week, as it's been one long meeting - and today will be no exception. Next week will probably be just as bad, as I'll be on business travel. Hopefully, this helps make up for it ...

For our Eye Candy this week, we travel south - waaaaay south. From the Land of Wonder ... the Land Down Under ... we bring you Australian Model Miranda Kerr. Miranda first made a splash, so to speak, as a Victoria's Secret model - the first from Australia. Compared favorably to the legendary Elle McPherson (the supermodel equivalent of a basketballer being called the "Next Michael Jordan"), Kerr has become the face - as well as the body - for several stateside advertising campaigns.

Kerr has found herself a tabloid target recently, as the girlfriend of actor Orlando Bloom - you remember, the guy who seemed a little too comfortable dressed as a pirate in the "Caribbean" series? The speculation is that she's just his cover for a - how shall we say it, "alternative" lifestyle. No matter what the deal, she's getting a lot of publicity over it - and in the model game, no publicity is bad publicity ...
