Her Wings are still going Strong

Supermodel Marisa Miller.

Eveyone thought it was a mad cap move to leave Victoria's Secret and expect happily ever after away from fashion heaven. (Not everyone's Tyra. And ther jury is still out on Heidi) .

But yet again, Marisa proved why she was called 'The Return of the Great American Supermodel.'.

As if being spotted by world famous photographer Mario Testino ( the other girl ever spotted by him was Kate Moss, getit?) , her record 7 consecutive appearances on Sports Illustrated, her being the only model ever to top both FHM and Maxim's list of 'Hottest women' , her (now former) big contract with Victoria's Secret and the honour of wearing the Fantasy Angel bra weren't news enough, she's in the record books again for her upcoming appearance on the cover of the February issue of Shape magazine.

This makes it her 8th cover, the most for any model in the 30-year history of the magazine.

Looks like there is life after decending from fashion heaven.

Q

American Supermodel

Supermodel Marisa Miller; the 'bomb shell' that set the fashion world alight by being hotter than hot , not seen since Cindy, Tyra , Gisele and Heidi.

After working with world famous photographer Mario Testino for fashion magazines like Vogue, her career took to the heavens, literally.

After 5 high profile years of working with countless top designers and photographers around the world, she became an Angel for Victoria's Secret since 2007 and never looked back since.

The comet wouldn't stop for Marisa then went on to join legendary luminaries like Christie, Elle, Tyra and Heidi, to grace the cover of the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and to record-setting numbers, no less.

This blazer fired it up even more when she ranked #1 on Maxim magazine's 2008 "Hot 100" list as well as topping FHM's global 2010 "Sexiest Women in the World" poll.

Not only that, Marisa is also the first and only girl in the history of FHM's famous annual poll to Debut at #1.

In 2009, she was chosen as the Fantasy Angel (previous years' luminaries include Tyra Banks, Gisele Bundchen , Heidi Klum and Selita Ebanks) wearing the multi-million dollar Fantasy Angel Bra. (See above)

Her accomplishments have led to her being dubbed the "return of the great American supermodel."

Indeed, the last great American supermodel was Tyra Banks

, in today's world fuelled by supermodels from Britain (Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss) , Germany (Heidi Klum), Czech (Karolina Kurkova) and of course , the all-conquering Brazilians (Gisele Bundchen, Adriana Lima, Alexandra Ambrosio, Isabel Goulart, Anna-Beatrice Barros and Isabeli Fontana et el)

And c'mon, she's clearly the successor to Heidi in the VS line up . Who also happens to be all American like Tyra.

Perfect. Like her.

Q .. strut on American Pie !!!
