Tuesday Supermodel: Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum (pronounced "Kloom") was born June 1st, 1973, in Bergische Gladbach, a small city in Germany. Practically destined to be a fashion model, Heidi's father, Gunther, worked for a cosmetics company, while her mother, Erna, was a hairdresser.

18 years old and still in high school, Heidi came across an ad for a model competition in her area while reading a magazine. While she was intrigued by the idea, she never even dreamed of the possibility of entering, much less of winning, but her friend had a different attitude and encouraged her to send in some photos.

Heidi Klum is a regular model for Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated, and has become one of the most recognizable and highest paid models in the world.

"You should spend your money on some nice lingerie. Big wool cotton pants, that just doesn't work. You have to feel sexy." -Heidi Klum, on her work with Victoria's Secret

Heidi Klum is undoubtedly one of the most famous models in the world (and with no exaggeration, one of the most beautiful). Merely in her late-twenties, she seems poised for the kind of longevity in the business not often seen among the top fashion models, with endorsements and photo shoots coming at her as quickly as she jots them down in her Palm Pilot.
