Africa’s finest diamond: Candice Swanepoel

candice-swanepoel1

You probably haven’t heard of Candice Swanepoel and that’s probably because she comes from the most unlikely of places. Candice is a 20-year-old model from South Africa and was born in Mooi River, KwaZulu-Natal, and was scouted at the age of 15 in a Durban flea market.

By 16, she was raking in 5,000 euros per photo shoot and has graced the cover of the Greek Vogue. She’s worked for Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, Victoria’s Secret, and Diane von Fürstenberg.

Barack thanks Michelle with a $30,000 Harmony ring

She’s had to put up with Barack for the past two years with his run for the Presidency of the United States. For her patience and hard work, the President-elect is giving her $30,000 Harmony ring that’s made by top Italian designer Giovanni Bosco, who is based at Valenza Po near Alessandria.

Made of rhodium, the world’s most expensive metal and is encrusted with diamonds. The crown jewels are also made of rhodium, so Michelle Obama’s new ring will be sure to turn heads and keep her happy for a good while.

Is Olga Kurylenko the hottest Bond girl ever?

We liked in Hitman, but loved her in Quantum of Solace.  Last Friday was great for her.  She enjoyed the release of the new Bond movie in the US while popping champagne for her 29th birthday.  Not a bad weekend at all for the latest Bond girl. 

She’s also featured in this month’s Maxim.  Check it out and let us know if she really is the hottest Bond girl ever.

7 ways to decode your girlfriend’s text message

Mobile Maven has a post up that every man should take a look at.  They’ve got 9 ways to decode your girlfriend’s text message.  Read it, study it, practice it.  If there’s one thing women hate, it’s when you don’t know what they’re thinking.  If you know she’s mad, and you ask if she’s mad, you’re likely to anger her more.

The unfortunate thing is that it’s more difficult to read a woman when you’re not in her presence.  Read below to figure out what she’s really saying.  We like the 9 ways, but we’re going to condense it a little.  Get your notepad ready:

1. Periods. Any time she writes a period at the end of the text (when the otherwise general lack of words would suffice to show that the thought is over) she’s one of two things: demanding, or pissed off. Probably at you. If you’re getting a lot of them, it’s a safe bet that you’re in trouble.

2. Exclamation Point! This is a universal sign of excitement, and it means she wants you to immediately picture her smiling and eager. Generally a good thing, unless she’s got energy to beat out the energizer bunny.

3. Question Mark? Obviously, questions need appropriate punctuation, especially in texts were there is no tone. Frequent question marks-especially when there isn’t really a question, like ‘We’ll meet up later?’ means she’s harboring some serious insecurities about your relationship.

4. Later. If she’s a buddy, ‘later’ is totally standard. If she’s your leading lady, ‘later’ is not good. Think about it-there’s ‘see you later’, ‘talk to you later’, and all sorts of ways of making plans in very casual ways, but she’s going out of her way to be brief and noncommittal. Not a good sign for you.

Giselle Bundchen in Elle’s December 2008 issue

Giselle Giselle.  Only a few words can describe the eighth wonder of the world, because the rest won’t do her justice.  She’s got looks that could take your breath away in a millisecond.  For the first time, we’re more concerned about a woman that isn’t on the cover of the magazine (sorry, Carrie).

Giselle Bundchen steals the show with her spread in next month’s issue of Elle. Check the rest of the shots after the jump.
