She's a wonderful model. I love her face. She is unique and beautiful. Her smile is contagious.

[Quazar]

She is gorgeous. She's been around for a while now and still looks as youthful as ever.

[SVZ]

[LaFolie]

No, that was Waris Dirie

[Sweetie]

^ I don't believe so.

I love that first picture.

[mrs.v]

I've always liked her.

[ymeman]

that first photo is one in a million, true art, it should be in an exhibit.

[sputnik]

^^^
it's wonderful. i wonder who took it.

[chartreuse]

[Aella]

She's absolutely stunning. One of the more talented current models.

She just lights a picture up, I think she has a warm inner beauty that just bursts forth like a firework. I love her cheeks! So plump and adorable.

[RevellingInSane]

She's quite photogenic and has a beautiful bone structure. As for being beautiful, I won't say that.

She is a beauty, on par with other models of our day (better than some, like Gisele)--and exceptional in the profile and upwards-angle shots. But she's made even more fabulous by her shockingly different "look." We absolutely need more like her to add variety to our beauty-icon pool. I mean, why is Kate Moss in ads for H&M, Rimmel, and David Yurman when I haven't seen Alek in any ads lately? Or any beautiful "different" woman? It's a shame.
